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.

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.
