The projective special linear point functor #
For positive n, the represented center of SLₙ maps isomorphically onto the ordinary center
of its group of points. Consequently, its pointwise center quotient is Mathlib's projective
special linear group PSL(Fin n, A) over every commutative value algebra A. This file proves
that identification and packages it naturally in A.
Over an algebraically closed field, Mathlib's canonical inclusion from PSLₙ to PGLₙ is
bijective. Composing it with the pointwise quotient identification gives the expected
SLₙ / Z(SLₙ) ≅ PGLₙ on field-valued points.
These are identifications of pointwise quotients before fppf sheafification. They do not assert that the pointwise quotient is already an fppf sheaf, or construct a representing Hopf algebra.

Under the standard equivalence between SLₙ-points and determinant-one matrices, the
represented center maps onto the ordinary group-theoretic center.
The pointwise quotient of SLₙ by its represented center is the projective special linear
group over the same value algebra.
