Detecting subcomodules on geometric points #
Let C be a reduced commutative algebra of finite type over a field k, equipped with a
coalgebra structure, and let M be a right C-comodule. A k-submodule N of M is a
subcomodule if its scalar extension is
preserved by every point of C valued in an algebraically closed extension of k.
The substantive direction is descent from pointwise stability. For m ∈ N, apply the quotient
map M ⟶ M/N to coact m. Every coordinate of the resulting tensor vanishes at every
geometric point, because the corresponding point action preserves the scalar extension of N.
Reduced finite-type point separation makes every coordinate zero. Right exactness of tensor
product then identifies coact m with a tensor in N ⊗ C.

This supplies the point-separation step in Layer 6 of the ReductiveGroups roadmap: for a normal closed subgroup, pointwise normality makes its fixed subspace stable under the ambient group, and the result here promotes that stable subspace to an ambient-group subcomodule.
If every geometric point preserves the scalar extension of a submodule, the coaction of each element of that submodule belongs to its tensor product with the coefficient coalgebra.
It is enough to test the pure tensors 1 ⊗ m: the point action is linear over the value field,
so this is equivalent to preservation of the whole scalar-extended submodule.
Every algebra-valued point preserves the scalar extension of a subcomodule.
Every algebra-valued point maps the scalar extension of a subcomodule into itself.
Promote a submodule whose scalar extension is preserved by every geometric point to a subcomodule.
