Galois invariants of a group algebra #
Let L/k be a Galois extension and let M be an abelian group carrying an integral
representation of Gal(L/k). The simultaneous action on coefficients and exponents of
L[Multiplicative M] has a fixed k-subalgebra. This file constructs that subalgebra and proves
that the Hopf operations preserve the corresponding descent data.
The counit of an invariant element is fixed by every automorphism of L/k, hence belongs to k.
The antipode preserves the invariant subalgebra. Comultiplication lands in the fixed subalgebra of
the tensor square for the diagonal semilinear action. The latter is deliberately not identified
here with the tensor square of the invariant subalgebra: that identification is the faithfully
flat scalar-extension theorem needed in the next descent step.

This is the invariant-algebra step in Layer 4, "Tori: split and non-split", of the ReductiveGroups roadmap. It follows the semilinear group-algebra action and precedes the theorem identifying scalar extension of the invariant algebra with the original split coordinate algebra.

Instances For
Membership in the invariant subalgebra means being fixed by every automorphism of L/k.
Coefficientwise characterization of the invariant group algebra. The coefficient at m
after applying sigma is read at the inverse translate of m.
A monomial is invariant if its coefficient and exponent are fixed by every Galois automorphism.
The counit of the descended invariant algebra. Invariance forces the original L-valued
counit to lie in the image of k, and Galois fixed-field descent identifies that image with k.
