The tangent Lie algebra of the multiplicative group #

The tangent space at the identity of the multiplicative group is one-dimensional. A tangent derivation of the Laurent polynomial Hopf algebra R[T;T⁻¹] is determined by its value on T, and every value occurs. The resulting linear equivalence with the coefficient algebra B identifies the tangent Lie bracket with the zero bracket.

The construction follows the formal pattern of TauCeti.Algebra.AlgebraicGroup.AdditiveGroup.Tangent. Laurent-polynomial induction and the formulas for the counit and comultiplication of T come from Mathlib's Mathlib.Algebra.Polynomial.Laurent and Mathlib.RingTheory.Bialgebra.MonoidAlgebra.

This realizes the 𝔾ₘ item in the ReductiveGroups roadmap's "Worked examples" section using its Layer 2 tangent/Lie algebra infrastructure.

Two tangent derivations of the Laurent polynomial algebra are equal if they agree on T.

The tangent space at the identity of 𝔾ₘ is one-dimensional. The equivalence sends a counit-valued derivation to its value on the Laurent generator T.
