Base change of the special-linear tangent Lie algebra #

The coefficient-valued Lie algebra of SLₙ over R identifies with the Lie algebra of SLₙ over an R-algebra K. Both are the trace-zero matrices over K. tangentCoefficientLieEquiv implements this identification, and tangentBaseChangeLieEquiv_symm_derivationComp proves that it agrees with the canonical coordinate Hopf-algebra base-change isomorphism. Thus it can transport root vectors using their matrix normalization without replacing geometric base change by an unrelated abstract isomorphism. cotangentDualBaseChangeEquiv gives the corresponding scalar-extension comparison of the cotangent dual. No flatness or characteristic assumption is needed.

References #

Coefficient-valued tangent vectors to SLₙ identify with tangent vectors to SLₙ over the coefficient ring, preserving their trace-zero matrices and Lie bracket.

    The inverse tangent comparison also leaves the trace-zero matrix unchanged.

      Cotangent duality turns the cotangent-dual base-change comparison into the coefficient comparison of tangent derivations.

      Restricting a tangent vector along the canonical coordinate base-change isomorphism recovers the coefficient tangent comparison. This certifies its geometric meaning.

      The forward tangent comparison intertwines extension of derivations with the canonical coordinate base-change isomorphism.
