Point automorphisms of scalar extension #

Let H be a Hopf algebra over a commutative semiring R, and let A be a commutative R-algebra. Scalar extension of the underlying-module functor is constructed for all comodules in TauCeti.Algebra.Coalgebra.Comodule.ScalarExtension and restricted to finitely generated comodules in TauCeti.Algebra.Coalgebra.Comodule.Finite.ScalarExtension.Basic:

FGComoduleCat R H ⥤ SemimoduleCat A,    M ↦ A ⊗[R] M.

Every A-valued point of H acts naturally and invertibly on the all-comodule functor: its component at M is the usual point action on A ⊗[R] M. These automorphisms form a group homomorphism, which restricts by precomposition to the finite-comodule functor.

This is the base change of the neutral underlying-module functor, without a faithfulness claim: scalar extension along an arbitrary R → A need not be faithful. Equipping this functor and these natural automorphisms with their tensor compatibilities is a separate step; together, the constructions supply categorical infrastructure for Tannakian reconstruction in Layer 1 of the reductive-groups roadmap.

This is the scalar-extended underlying-module functor and point action used in Tannakian reconstruction; see J. S. Milne, Algebraic Groups (2017), §§4.5 and 9.4. The construction reuses Mathlib's linear-map base change and Tau Ceti's finite-comodule category and point action.

Every algebra-valued point acts as a natural automorphism of the scalar-extension functor. Naturality is precisely the fact that scalar extension of a comodule morphism intertwines point actions.

      Evaluating the points action homomorphism gives the corresponding natural automorphism.

      Restricting the point action to finitely generated comodules gives automorphisms of the finite scalar-extension functor used in Tannakian reconstruction.
