Scheme-theoretic images of affine group morphisms #

For a morphism f : H ⟶ K of commutative Hopf algebras over a field, the represented affine group morphism runs from Spec K to Spec H. Its coordinate image is the quotient

H ⟶ H / ker(f) ⟶ K.

This file identifies Spec (H / ker(f)) with Mathlib's scheme-theoretic image of Spec K ⟶ Spec H. The isomorphism carries both maps in the Hopf image factorization to the canonical closed immersion and source factor of the scheme-theoretic image. Thus the existing coordinate construction can be used as an actual closed subgroup scheme, rather than merely as an analogous quotient.

This is the scheme-side image compatibility required by Layer 3, "Subgroups, quotients, components", of the ReductiveGroups roadmap. It is also the image infrastructure used when constructing generated normal subgroups such as the unipotent radical and derived subgroup.

After identifying the source and target Hopf spectra with ordinary spectra, the underlying scheme map of hopfSpec.map f.op is Spec.map f.

The ideal defining the scheme-theoretic image of a morphism of Hopf spectra is the kernel Hopf ideal's underlying ideal.

The coordinate ring of the scheme-theoretic image is canonically isomorphic to the Hopf image, the quotient by the kernel Hopf ideal.

    The coordinate-ring isomorphism sends the class of an element to the same class in the Hopf image quotient.

    The inverse coordinate-ring isomorphism also sends the class of an element to the same class, now regarded in the scheme-theoretic image quotient.
