The Lie algebra of a closed affine subgroup #
A Hopf ideal I in a commutative Hopf algebra H presents the closed affine subgroup
Spec (H ⧸ I) ↪ Spec H. The differential of this inclusion is contravariantly induced by the
quotient bialgebra morphism H → H ⧸ I. This file identifies that differential as an injective
Lie algebra morphism and characterizes its image: it consists exactly of the counit-valued
derivations of H which vanish on I.
Thus the Lie algebra of the closed subgroup is canonically a Lie subalgebra of the Lie algebra of the ambient group. This is the coordinate-Hopf-algebra form of the ReductiveGroups roadmap's Layer 2 target "the Lie algebra of a closed subgroup".

On coordinate rings the inclusion is represented by the quotient bialgebra morphism
H → H ⧸ I; the differential therefore sends a derivation of the quotient to its
precomposition with the quotient map.
Instances For
The differential of a closed-subgroup inclusion is precomposition with the quotient map.
The differential of a closed-subgroup inclusion intertwines the adjoint actions.
The closed-subgroup differential acts by precomposition with the quotient map.
The closed-subgroup differential commutes with extension of the coefficient algebra.
The differential of a closed-subgroup inclusion is injective.
The Lie subalgebra of the ambient tangent Lie algebra cut out by a Hopf ideal.
It is defined intrinsically as the range of the closed-subgroup differential; membership is
characterized without reference to this range by mem_lieSubalgebra_iff.

Instances For
A tangent derivation belongs to the Lie algebra of the closed subgroup defined by I
exactly when it vanishes on the defining Hopf ideal.
When a Hopf ideal is generated by S, membership in its tangent Lie subalgebra is equivalent
to vanishing of the derivation on the generators in S.
Taking the inverse image of a closed subgroup commutes with taking its tangent Lie algebra. On coordinate rings the inverse image is presented by the image Hopf ideal. No surjectivity assumption on the coordinate morphism is needed.
The Lie algebra of the quotient Hopf algebra is canonically Lie-equivalent to its image in the ambient tangent Lie algebra.

Instances For
The canonical Lie equivalence sends a quotient derivation to its precomposition with the quotient map.
The inverse of the canonical Lie equivalence descends an ambient derivation by evaluating on representatives of the quotient.
