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