Base change of multiplicative-group points #
The multiplicative group 𝔾_m over k is represented here by the Laurent-polynomial Hopf
algebra k[T;T⁻¹]. This file records the base-changed functor-of-points calculation: for a
k-algebra K and a commutative K-algebra A, the convolution group of K-algebra maps
out of K ⊗[k] k[T;T⁻¹] is the unit group Aˣ.
The equivalence first restricts a base-changed point along f ↦ f (1 ⊗ T) using
AlgHom.baseChangePointsMulEquiv, then applies the Laurent-polynomial calculation
MultiplicativeGroup.pointsMulEquiv. The characteristic lemmas give the values on
1 ⊗ T and on the inverse map at pure tensors s ⊗ C r * T n.
This is the direct Laurent-polynomial 𝔾_m worked example for the ReductiveGroups roadmap,
Layer 0 ("R-points as a group" and "Base change. K ⊗[k] A as a Hopf algebra over K"),
alongside the more general diagonalizable and split-torus base-change APIs.
Main declarations #
TauCeti.MultiplicativeGroup.baseChangePointsMulEquiv: base-changed𝔾_mpoints are units of the value algebra.TauCeti.MultiplicativeGroup.baseChangePointsMulEquiv_apply: the equivalence reads a point on the base-changed coordinate1 ⊗ T.TauCeti.MultiplicativeGroup.baseChangePointsMulEquiv_symm_apply_tmul_C_mul_T: the inverse equivalence evaluates pure Laurent monomialss ⊗ C r * T n.

This reuses Tau Ceti's AlgHom.baseChangePointsMulEquiv and
MultiplicativeGroup.pointsMulEquiv, which in turn build on Mathlib's tensor-product
base-change adjunction and Laurent-polynomial Hopf algebra structure.
The A-points of the base change K ⊗[k] k[T;T⁻¹] of the multiplicative group are
the unit group Aˣ.
The source is the convolution group of K-algebra maps out of the base-changed Hopf algebra.
The target is the ordinary unit group of the value algebra.
