The abelian category of finite comodules #
Finitely generated comodules over a flat coalgebra over a Noetherian commutative ring form an abelian category. Their kernels and cokernels are computed in the category of all comodules. In particular, finite-dimensional comodules over a field form an abelian category, with an exact forgetful functor to vector spaces. For coordinate Hopf algebras this supplies the abelian and exact structures of the Tannakian representation category.
The full-subcategory argument uses Mathlib's ObjectProperty kernel and cokernel closure API.
