Pointwise Tannakian reconstruction for commutative Hopf algebras #

Let H be a commutative Hopf algebra over a field k, and let A be a commutative k-algebra. This file identifies the A-valued points of H with the tensor automorphisms of scalar extension on finite-dimensional H-comodules.

The identification here is for one fixed value algebra A; naturality in A, and hence the statement identifying the two functors of points, is in TauCeti.Algebra.AlgebraicGroup.Representation.Tannaka.GroupFunctor. Nothing in this file is stated in terms of affine group schemes: the reconstruction is at the level of the coordinate Hopf algebra, and passing to TauCeti.AffineGroupSchemeCat goes through the anti-equivalence in TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.AffineGroupScheme.Equivalence.

The remaining inverse direction in the reconstruction theorem is detected by matrix coefficients. For a finite comodule M, every coefficient map is a comodule morphism from M to a finite subcomodule of the regular comodule. Naturality compares an arbitrary tensor automorphism on these two objects. Applying the counit then reads the comparison as the global functional used to reconstruct the point, and the scalar-extended dual separates elements of A ⊗[k] M.

The tensor automorphism induced by a reconstructed point is the original tensor automorphism. Thus reconstruction is a right inverse to the tensor action of points.

@[simp]

The action of a point reconstructed from a tensor automorphism is that automorphism's component on every finite-dimensional comodule.

Algebra-valued points of a commutative Hopf algebra over a field are equivalent to tensor automorphisms of scalar extension on its finite-dimensional comodules.
