The projective general linear point functor #
The represented center of GLₙ maps isomorphically onto the ordinary center of its group of
points. Consequently, its pointwise center quotient is Mathlib's projective general linear group
PGL(n, A) over every commutative value algebra A. This file proves that identification and
packages it naturally in A.
This is an identification of the presheaf quotient before fppf sheafification. It does not assert that the pointwise quotient is already an fppf sheaf, or construct a representing Hopf algebra.

The quotient equivalence sends the class of a GLₙ-point to the class of its associated
invertible matrix.
The inverse quotient equivalence sends the class of an invertible matrix to the class of its
associated GLₙ-point.

Matrix.ProjGenLinGroup, packaged as a group-valued functor. This is not the functor of points of
the algebraic group PGLₙ; obtaining that functor requires fppf sheafification.

The objects of pglPointsFunctor are Mathlib's projective general linear groups.
The maps of pglPointsFunctor are induced by entrywise extension of scalars.
The quotient equivalence commutes with extension of scalars in the value algebra.
The pointwise center quotient of GLₙ is naturally isomorphic to the presheaf with values
Mathlib's projective general linear groups. This is a presheaf-level statement before fppf
sheafification, not an identification with the functor of points of the algebraic group PGLₙ.
