The cotangent space at the identity #
For a commutative bialgebra A over R, the cotangent space at the identity is
the augmentation ideal modulo its square. Its R-linear dual represents
counit-valued derivations, hence the tangent space at the identity.
When this cotangent space is finite projective, the usual tensor--Hom
comparison identifies B ⊗[R] Lie(G)(R) with the B-valued tangent space.
On pure tensors the comparison sends b ⊗ d to the derivation
a ↦ b * algebraMap R B (d a). This is the scalar-extension comparison needed
to turn the coefficient-natural adjoint action into an action on one fixed
finite module (ReductiveGroups roadmap, Layer 2).

The cotangent map is the class of the displacement from the counit.
On the augmentation ideal, the cotangent map is the quotient map.
The cotangent displacement of a product satisfies the Leibniz rule for the action through the counit.
Linear functionals on the cotangent space are naturally equivalent to counit-valued derivations, i.e. tangent vectors at the identity. The equivalence is linear over the coefficient ring.

Instances For
The cotangent-duality equivalence sends a functional to its value on the first-order displacement.
The inverse cotangent-duality equivalence evaluates a derivation on a representative in the augmentation ideal.
Scalar extension of tangent vectors. If the cotangent space is finite
projective, B tensored with its dual is naturally the space of B-valued
tangent vectors. The dual is identified with Lie(G)(R) by
cotangentLinearEquiv.

On pure tensors, scalar extension evaluates the cotangent functional and
multiplies it by the coefficient. The bundled pure-tensor simp rule is

On pure tensors, scalar extension is coefficient change of the cotangent-dual tangent vector, followed by multiplication by the tensor coefficient.
