Representations with upper-unitriangular coefficient matrices #

Let M be a finite free comodule over a commutative Hopf algebra H. If the coefficient matrix of M in a basis b is upper unitriangular, evaluation at its strict-upper entries defines a coordinate Hopf-algebra morphism

O(U_n) ⟶ H.

This morphism factors the usual coordinate morphism O(GL_n) ⟶ H through the quotient O(GL_n) ⟶ O(U_n). Consequently, if M is faithful, the represented affine group embeds as a closed subgroup of U_n.

This is the coordinate-algebra bridge needed for the upper-unitriangular embedding characterization in Layer 5, "Unipotent groups", of the ReductiveGroups roadmap. The remaining Kolchin step must produce a basis with upper-unitriangular coefficient matrix for a faithful representation of a unipotent group.

The coordinate Hopf-algebra morphism of a comodule whose coefficient matrix is upper unitriangular in the chosen basis. It sends each strict-upper coordinate of U_n to the corresponding matrix coefficient.

    The upper-unitriangular coordinate morphism sends each strict-upper coordinate generator to the corresponding coefficient-matrix entry.

    @[simp]

    The upper-unitriangular coordinate morphism sends every entry of the generic matrix to the corresponding coefficient-matrix entry.

    The coordinate morphism of an upper-unitriangular representation factors the ordinary general-linear coordinate morphism through O(U_n).

    If the ordinary coordinate morphism of an upper-unitriangular representation is surjective, then its factored coordinate morphism O(U_n) ⟶ H is surjective.

    The upper-unitriangular coordinate morphism is surjective exactly when the comodule is faithful.

    The morphism from the affine group represented by H to the upper-unitriangular group associated to a basis in which the coefficient matrix is upper unitriangular.

      The upper-unitriangular representation morphism is relative spectrum applied to its coordinate morphism, followed by the defining identification of the upper-unitriangular group.

      Composing the upper-unitriangular representation with U_n ⟶ GL_n recovers the usual general-linear representation.

      The upper-unitriangular representation morphism is a closed immersion exactly when its coordinate Hopf-algebra morphism is surjective.

      The morphism into U_n defined by an upper-unitriangular coefficient matrix is a closed immersion exactly when the comodule is faithful.
