Base change of faithful comodules #

Let M be a finite free comodule over a commutative Hopf algebra H. After extending both the coefficient Hopf algebra and M along a morphism of commutative rings, the coordinate morphism of the extended comodule is the scalar extension of the original coordinate morphism, transported through the canonical base-change isomorphism for O(GLₙ).

Consequently, scalar extension preserves faithful comodules: surjectivity of the coordinate morphism survives base change.

This transports the faithful representation used to prove base-change invariance of geometric unipotence, the next scalar-extension step for the unipotent radical in Layer 5 of the ReductiveGroups roadmap.

The coordinate morphism of a base-changed comodule is the scalar extension of its original coordinate morphism, after identifying the scalar extension of O(GLₙ) with O(GLₙ) over the new base.
