Base change of symmetric bialgebras #

For a commutative semiring extension k → K and a k-module M, scalar extension of the symmetric bialgebra on M is canonically the symmetric bialgebra on the scalar extension of M:

K ⊗[k] SymmetricAlgebra k M ≃ₐc[K] SymmetricAlgebra K (K ⊗[k] M).

The equivalence preserves the counit and comultiplication and is characterized in both directions on pure-tensor generators.

This supplies the coordinate-bialgebra calculation used by the additive-group worked example in the ReductiveGroups roadmap's Layer 0 base-change milestone.

The construction follows W. C. Waterhouse, Introduction to Affine Group Schemes, §1. It uses Mathlib's AlgHom.liftEquiv, _root_.SymmetricAlgebra.lift, and BialgEquiv.ofAlgEquiv, together with the bialgebra structures from Mathlib.RingTheory.Bialgebra.SymmetricAlgebra and Mathlib.RingTheory.Bialgebra.TensorProduct.

Symmetric bialgebras commute with scalar extension.

The equivalence sends s ⊗ ι(m) to the generator ι(s ⊗ m) of the symmetric algebra on the scalar-extended module.

    The scalar-extension equivalence sends s ⊗ ι(m) to ι(s ⊗ m).

    The inverse scalar-extension equivalence sends the generator indexed by s ⊗ m to s ⊗ ι(m).

    The scalar-extension equivalence identifies the scalar copy of K on both sides.
