Image factorizations of commutative Hopf-algebra morphisms over a field #
For a morphism f : H ⟶ K of commutative Hopf algebras over a field, this file packages the
canonical factorization through the quotient by its kernel Hopf ideal:
H ⟶ H / ker f ⟶ K
The first morphism is surjective and an epimorphism, while the second is injective and a monomorphism. Geometrically, this quotient-by-the-ring-kernel construction motivates the coordinate algebra of the scheme-theoretic image of the represented affine-group morphism; that geometric compatibility is not formalized here.

If the source affine group has finite-type coordinate algebra, its canonical morphism onto the scheme-theoretic image is of finite type.
Passing from a homomorphism to its scheme-theoretic image does not change its kernel closed subgroup, including the possibly nonreduced scheme structure.
