Simply connected semisimple affine groups in Hopf coordinates #
A semisimple affine group over a field is simply connected when every central isogeny onto
it is an isomorphism. In coordinate Hopf algebras the arrows reverse: a central isogeny onto the
group represented by H is a finite faithfully flat morphism H ⟶ K, and simple connectivity
says that every such morphism to a semisimple coordinate algebra K is an isomorphism.
The source and target of the isogenies are required to be semisimple. Allowing arbitrary affine group schemes would make the definition test central isogenies from nonsmooth finite group schemes, which is not the standard notion for semisimple algebraic groups.
This coordinate-Hopf interface is adapted from the scheme-side formalization in
TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.AffineGroupScheme.SimplyConnected.
Because a faithfully flat coordinate morphism is injective, the only missing half of bijectivity
is surjectivity. Thus simplyConnectedSemisimpleCommHopfAlgProperty_iff_forall_surjective gives
the characteristic coordinate criterion: a semisimple group is simply connected exactly when
every central-isogeny coordinate map out of it is surjective.

The object property selecting simply connected semisimple affine groups in Hopf coordinates.
For a semisimple coordinate Hopf algebra H, arrows reverse under Spec, so the central
isogenies onto the represented group are precisely the coordinate morphisms H ⟶ K tested
here. Requiring K to be semisimple is part of the standard definition.

Membership in the simply connected property means that every coordinate central isogeny out of the Hopf algebra and into another semisimple coordinate Hopf algebra is an isomorphism.
Every coordinate central isogeny out of a simply connected semisimple group is an isomorphism.
Establish simple connectivity by proving that every coordinate central isogeny out of the group is an isomorphism.
The coordinate map of every central isogeny out of a simply connected semisimple group is surjective.
A semisimple affine group is simply connected exactly when every coordinate central isogeny out of its Hopf algebra is surjective.
Injectivity is automatic from faithful flatness, so surjectivity makes the coordinate morphism bijective and hence an isomorphism.
Simple connectivity in Hopf coordinates is invariant under isomorphism.
