Kernels of group schemes #

This file constructs the scheme-theoretic kernel of an arbitrary homomorphism of group schemes over an arbitrary base. It is the categorical kernel in Grp (Over S), equivalently the fibre of the homomorphism over the identity section. No affineness, finiteness, or flatness hypothesis is imposed.

Formation of this kernel commutes with arbitrary base change. Categorically, this follows because pullback of schemes over a base preserves limits, limits of group objects are created by the forgetful functor, and that functor reflects limits. The comparison isomorphism is Mathlib's canonical PreservesKernel.iso; its compatibility with inclusions and maps between kernels is recorded explicitly for downstream use.

Main declarations #

The categorical kernel and comparison constructions are provided by Mathlib.CategoryTheory.Limits.Shapes.Kernels and Mathlib.CategoryTheory.Limits.Preserves.Shapes.Kernels.

Pullback of group schemes along an arbitrary base morphism preserves parallel-pair limits. In particular, it preserves kernels.

The canonical isomorphism from the base change of a scheme-theoretic kernel to the kernel of the base-changed homomorphism.

    The categorical kernel of a group-scheme homomorphism is its fibre over the identity section. The horizontal maps are the kernel inclusion and the identity section; the other map from the kernel is the unique morphism to the trivial group scheme.

    The underlying-scheme isomorphism from the base change of a scheme-theoretic kernel to the kernel of the base-changed homomorphism.
