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.

Instances For
The upper-unitriangular coordinate morphism sends each strict-upper coordinate generator 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.
