Base change of monoid bialgebras #

For a commutative semiring extension k → K and a commutative monoid G, scalar extension of the monoid bialgebra k[G] is canonically the monoid bialgebra K[G]:

K ⊗[k] k[G] ≃ₐc[K] K[G].

Mathlib supplies the underlying algebra equivalence as MonoidAlgebra.scalarTensorEquiv. This file records that it preserves the counit and comultiplication, hence promotes it to a bialgebra equivalence. The equivalence is natural in G. When G is a group, both sides carry their standard Hopf structures, so this is the coordinate-ring base-change identification for the diagonalizable group D(G).

This is the base-change input for the ReductiveGroups roadmap's Layer 4 development of groups of multiplicative type and non-split tori: after extension of the base field, a diagonalizable coordinate Hopf algebra remains the group algebra of the same character group.

The underlying algebra equivalence is Mathlib's MonoidAlgebra.scalarTensorEquiv from Mathlib.RingTheory.TensorProduct.MonoidAlgebra; the bialgebra structures are from Mathlib.RingTheory.Bialgebra.MonoidAlgebra and Mathlib.RingTheory.Bialgebra.TensorProduct.

Monoid bialgebras commute with base change.

This is Mathlib's algebra equivalence MonoidAlgebra.scalarTensorEquiv, promoted using the standard tensor-product and monoid-algebra coalgebra structures. For a group G, the standard Hopf structures on source and target make this the coordinate-ring base-change equivalence K ⊗[k] k[G] ≃ K[G] for the diagonalizable group D(G).

    On a pure tensor, base change applies the scalar and maps the coefficients of the monoid algebra along k → K.

    @[simp]

    The inverse base-change equivalence sends a monomial over K to the corresponding pure tensor.

    Base change of monoid bialgebras is natural in the indexing monoid. Mapping the indices before base change gives the same bialgebra morphism as mapping them afterwards.
