Central isogenies of group schemes #

For group schemes over the spectrum of a commutative ring, an isogeny is a homomorphism whose underlying scheme morphism is finite, flat, and surjective. It is central when its scheme-theoretic kernel is central. We express the latter condition intrinsically through the functor of points: for every test scheme over the base, every point killed by the homomorphism commutes with every other point of the source.

Quantifying over all test schemes is essential. Centrality only on base-ring-valued points would miss infinitesimal points and need not describe a central subgroup scheme. The functorial definition below is equivalent, by Yoneda, to factorization of the kernel through the scheme-theoretic centre once that closed subgroup has been constructed.

The API records the equivalent pointwise statement that the kernel of every induced group homomorphism is contained in the ordinary group centre. It also shows that isomorphisms have central kernel and that every isogeny out of a commutative group scheme is central.
