Linear Hom comodules #
For comodules M and N over a Hopf algebra, with M finite projective,
Hom_R(M,N) is a comodule by transport from the diagonal tensor comodule M* ⊗ N.
On algebra-valued points its action is f ↦ g_N ∘ f ∘ g_M⁻¹. In particular, taking
N = M gives the conjugation representation on endomorphisms, used to construct
representations with prescribed normal kernels. For a commutative Hopf algebra, the fixed
vectors are exactly the comodule morphisms.
The order M* ⊗ N is part of this construction. Over a noncommutative Hopf algebra,
swapping it to N ⊗ M* need not be colinear, and the identity endomorphism need not be
fixed in the former. The fixed-morphism characterization below therefore retains
commutative coefficients.
The construction uses Comodule.dual, Comodule.tensor, Comodule.Transport and Mathlib's
dualTensorHomEquiv; the point formula uses the existing inverse-point evaluation identity.

The comodule of linear maps from a finite projective comodule to an arbitrary comodule, with the contragredient action on the source. This is an explicit structure, not a global instance, so different coactions on the same linear Hom space can coexist.
Equations
Instances For
The Hom coaction is transported from the tensor product of the dual and the target.
Under scalar extension of linear Hom, an algebra-valued point acts by conjugating with its actions on the target and source.
A scalar-extended linear map is fixed by a point in the Hom comodule exactly when it intertwines the point actions on its source and target.
The fixed vectors in the linear Hom comodule are exactly the colinear linear maps. This criterion includes nonreduced Hopf algebras and needs no hypothesis on geometric points.
Comodule morphisms are the fixed vectors of the linear Hom comodule.
