Weight spaces of a comodule #
Let M be a comodule over a coalgebra C over a commutative semiring. For a group-like element
c of C, its weight space is the submodule of vectors whose coaction is m ↦ m ⊗ c. This
file packages that submodule and its elementary functorial API. Over a domain, when C is
projective and M is torsion-free, it proves that the weight spaces belonging to distinct
group-like elements are independent. Consequently a Noetherian comodule has only finitely many
nonzero weight spaces.
The independence proof reads a coaction through all linear functionals on C. The c-weight
space is the joint eigenspace of the component endomorphisms
Comodule.coactComponent φ, with eigenvalue function φ ↦ φ c. Linear functionals separate
points when C is projective, so distinct group-like elements give distinct joint eigenvalue
functions.
Unlike the weight decomposition for a monoid algebra, these weight spaces need not span an arbitrary comodule. Their finite nonzero support can be used to define permutation actions on weights in Lie--Kolchin arguments.
