The Hopf algebra of Galois-invariant group-algebra elements #
For a finite Galois extension L/k, the invariant algebra of the simultaneous action on
coefficients and exponents of L[M] is a Hopf algebra over k. Its comultiplication is
obtained from the tensor descent equivalence, its counit takes values in k, and its
antipode is the restriction of the split antipode. These are the coordinate Hopf algebras
used to construct groups of multiplicative type, and non-split tori when M is a lattice.
No finite generation of M or restriction on the characteristic is needed.

Under tensor descent, the comultiplication is the original invariant-valued map.
The counit on the invariant Hopf algebra is the descended counit.
The coordinate Hopf algebra descended from the split group algebra along L/k.
