Projective orbit morphisms of Hopf comodules #
For a unimodular vector m in a finite projective comodule M over a commutative Hopf
algebra H, construct the scheme morphism
Spec H ⟶ Proj(Sym(M∨))
with homogeneous coordinates φ ↦ c(φ, m). On points this sends g to the line through
g · m, using the original action on M, rather than its contragredient. The dual module
appears because its elements are the linear homogeneous coordinates of projective space.
Over a field, every nonzero vector is unimodular. Over a general ring, unimodularity
ensures that the vector generates a direct summand of rank one.
The matrix coefficients generate the unit ideal by
Comodule.span_matrixCoefficient_eq_top_iff_isUnimodular. The construction then uses
Mathlib's Proj.fromOfGlobalSections, including its chart and base-morphism formulas.
No smoothness, reducedness, or finite-type hypothesis on H is imposed.

At the identity point, orbit coordinates specialize to evaluation at the original vector.
