The coordinate morphism of a finite free comodule #
A right comodule over a commutative Hopf algebra H with a basis indexed by Fin n has a
coefficient matrix over H, whose determinant is a unit
(TauCeti.Comodule.isUnit_det_coefficientMatrix). Evaluation on that matrix therefore extends
from the matrix monoid coordinate ring to the coordinate ring of GLₙ, and the coalgebra
identities satisfied by the coefficient matrix say exactly that the extension is a morphism of
bialgebras
O(GLₙ) ⟶ H.
This is the coordinate-ring morphism opposite to the representation of the affine group
represented by H on the chosen basis. Its surjectivity is the algebraic condition which the
faithful-representation criterion identifies with a closed immersion into GLₙ.

The coordinate Hopf-algebra morphism associated to a comodule with a basis indexed by
Fin n.
Contravariantly, this is the morphism from the affine group represented by H to GLₙ
defined by the corresponding representation.

The coordinate Hopf-algebra morphism sends a generic matrix entry to the corresponding coefficient-matrix entry.
Evaluating a representation's coordinate morphism through an algebra morphism gives its coefficient matrix mapped through that morphism.
The coordinate Hopf-algebra morphism sends an antipode generator of O(GLₙ) — an entry of
the inverse of the localized generic matrix — to the antipode of the corresponding
coefficient-matrix entry.
The coordinate morphism of a comodule corestricted along a bialgebra morphism is the composite of the original coordinate morphism with that bialgebra morphism.
If every vector has trivial coaction, the coordinate morphism of the representation factors
through the counit of O(GLₙ) and the unit of the coefficient Hopf algebra.
