The kernel Hopf ideal of a morphism of commutative Hopf algebras #
For a morphism f : H ⟶ K of commutative Hopf algebras, the kernel Hopf ideal is the
extension of the augmentation ideal of H along f — the ideal K·f(H⁺) of the
codomain, which is the coordinate ring of the source of the induced morphism of affine
group schemes. Quotienting by it cuts out the kernel closed subgroup scheme
(TauCeti.CommHopfAlgCat.kernelSpec, in
TauCeti.Algebra.AlgebraicGroup.HopfIdeal.Scheme.Kernel).
The kernel semantics live at this coordinate level: the trivialization criterion says a
map out of K kills the kernel Hopf ideal exactly when its composite with f is the
trivial (counit-unit) morphism, for an arbitrary ring-valued algebra target, for
Hopf-algebra morphisms, and for Hopf-ideal quotients; the coordinate-ring triangle is the
mkQuotient special case. The coordinate-level factorization and its uniqueness are
TauCeti.CommHopfAlgCat.liftQuotient and TauCeti.CommHopfAlgCat.liftQuotient_unique.

The kernel Hopf ideal of a morphism of commutative Hopf algebras: the image of the
augmentation ideal of the source. It is an ideal of the codomain K, the coordinate
ring of the source of the induced group-scheme morphism Spec K ⟶ Spec H; its quotient
represents the kernel of that morphism.

kernelHopfIdeal is the extension of the augmentation ideal along the morphism.
The scheme-theoretic kernel of a morphism of affine groups is normal.
The underlying ideal of the kernel Hopf ideal is the extension of the augmentation ideal.
The kernel Hopf ideal contains the image of every counit-vanishing element.
The kernel Hopf ideal of a surjective coordinate morphism is the augmentation ideal. This applies in particular to isomorphisms and identifies their group-scheme kernel with the trivial subgroup.
The kernel Hopf ideal of a composite is the extension of the first morphism's kernel Hopf ideal along the second morphism.
The kernel of Spec L → Spec K is contained in the kernel of Spec L → Spec H.
Hopf ideals reverse the inclusion of closed subgroups.
Precomposing a coordinate morphism with a surjective morphism does not change its kernel closed subgroup scheme.
Algebra-level trivialization criterion: an algebra map out of the coordinate ring of
the source group scheme kills the kernel Hopf ideal exactly when its composite with f
is the counit-unit composite. This is the kernel property tested against an arbitrary
commutative R-algebra; TauCeti.CommHopfAlgCat.mapPointsFunctor_app_eq_one_iff (in
TauCeti.Algebra.AlgebraicGroup.HopfIdeal.Points.Kernel) packages it on the functors of
points.

the kernel Hopf ideal of f exactly when its composite with f is the trivial
(counit-unit) morphism.
The coordinate-ring triangle: composing f with the quotient by its kernel Hopf
ideal is the counit-unit composite, i.e. the coordinate map of the trivial group-scheme
morphism.
The Hopf-ideal-quotient form of the trivialization criterion: f trivializes on the
closed subgroup scheme cut out by J exactly when J contains the kernel Hopf ideal.
Combined with TauCeti.CommHopfAlgCat.quotientSpecMapOfLe and
TauCeti.CommHopfAlgCat.quotientSpecMapOfLe_comp_quotientSpecι, such a quotient closed
subgroup scheme includes into the kernel compatibly with the inclusions.
