Scalar extension of normal affine quotients #

For a normal closed subgroup N of an affine group G over a field, the algebra of coinvariants is a Hopf algebra. Its scalar extension is canonically isomorphic, as a Hopf algebra, to the coinvariants of the scalar-extended subgroup. The comparison commutes with the coordinate inclusions defining the quotient projections.

Consequently, the assertion that the quotient projection has kernel exactly N is preserved and reflected by every field extension. This allows the exact-kernel theorem for a normal quotient to be proved over an algebraic closure and then descended, without assuming smoothness, reducedness, or finite type.

The construction upgrades coinvariantsBaseChangeEquiv using the corestriction of the scalar-extended Hopf inclusion; it does not construct a second coinvariant algebra.

Scalar extension of the normal affine quotient, as an isomorphism of coordinate Hopf algebras. Contravariantly, this identifies (G/N)_K with the quotient by N_K.

    The Hopf comparison is the canonical flat-base-change comparison of invariant algebras.

    The inverse Hopf comparison is the inverse comparison of invariant algebras.

    The quotient projection after scalar extension agrees with the projection for the scalar-extended subgroup under the canonical comparison.

    The quotient projection after scalar extension agrees with the projection for the scalar-extended subgroup under the canonical comparison.

    The inverse comparison also commutes with the quotient coordinate inclusion.

    The scheme-theoretic kernel of the normal quotient projection commutes with every field extension. This equality retains the full Hopf ideal, including infinitesimal structure.

    Exactness of the kernel of a normal quotient can be checked after any field extension. In particular, an exact-kernel theorem over an algebraic closure descends to the base field.
