Base change of the upper-triangular Borel of SLₙ #
Scalar extension of the coordinate Hopf algebra of the upper-triangular subgroup of SLₙ
is canonically its coordinate Hopf algebra over the new base. The isomorphism commutes with
restriction of functions from SLₙ, and the induced point equivalence preserves the
upper-triangular determinant-one matrix over every value algebra. In particular, extending
the base of the standard Borel does not change its embedding in the special linear group.
No flatness or reducedness assumption on the base extension is needed. The construction
uses CommHopfAlgCat.quotientBaseChangeIsoOfMapEq and the existing equality
SpecialLinear.UpperTriangular.map_baseChangeHopfIdeal_definingHopfIdeal.
The coordinate construction generalizes the rank-two Borel base-change construction in
TauCeti.Algebra.AlgebraicGroup.SpecialLinear.Borel.Geometry.

Instances For
The Borel base-change isomorphism commutes with restriction of functions from SLₙ.
Contravariantly, this identifies the base change of the Borel inclusion with the inclusion
constructed over the new base.

On a pure tensor of a restricted ambient function, the Borel base-change isomorphism is the ambient special-linear base-change isomorphism followed by restriction.
The canonical Borel base-change point equivalence preserves the upper-triangular determinant-one matrix, over every commutative value algebra.
