TauCeti.RepresentationTheory.InvariantForm.BaseChange

Base change of an invariant bilinear form #

Extending the scalars of a representation along an algebra R → A extends the scalars of its invariant forms: the base change LinearMap.BilinForm.baseChange of an invariant form is invariant for the base-changed representation Representation.baseChange. Invariance is elementwise the statement that each ρ g is an isometry of the form, so this is TauCeti.BilinForm.IsIsometry.baseChange applied one group element at a time.

Main results #

The base change of an invariant form is invariant for the base-changed representation: each base-changed action (σ g).baseChange A is an isometry of the base-changed form, by TauCeti.BilinForm.IsIsometry.baseChange.
