Linearly reductive commutative Hopf algebras #

An affine group over a field is linearly reductive when its finite-dimensional rational representations are completely reducible. This file packages the existing comodule formulation as an isomorphism-invariant object property on commutative Hopf algebras. The property tests comodule carriers in the base field's universe; transport to a finite standard basis then shows that this covers carriers in every universe.

The property is deliberately separate from smoothness, connectedness, and finite type. In positive characteristic a torus is linearly reductive, while a general reductive group need not be. The comparison with reductivity defined by a trivial geometric unipotent radical belongs later in the theory: for smooth connected affine groups, reductive and linearly reductive are equivalent in characteristic zero.

The object property selecting commutative Hopf algebras for which every finite-dimensional comodule is completely reducible. It tests carriers in the base field's universe, which suffices for carriers in every universe by finite-dimensional transport.

    Membership in the linearly reductive commutative-Hopf-algebra property means that every finite-dimensional comodule with carrier in the base field's universe is completely reducible.

    Linear reductivity is invariant under isomorphism of commutative Hopf algebras.

    The monoid algebra of a commutative group is a linearly reductive commutative Hopf algebra.

    Linear reductivity descends along field extensions. A commutative Hopf algebra over k is linearly reductive as soon as its scalar extension to some extension field K is.

    An injective coordinate morphism of commutative Hopf algebras preserves linear reductivity from its codomain to its domain. In particular, it applies to a quotient affine-group projection with an injective coordinate morphism.
