Isogenies of affine group schemes #

A morphism f : H ⟶ K of commutative Hopf algebras represents, contravariantly, a morphism Spec K ⟶ Spec H of affine group schemes. We call this morphism an isogeny when its coordinate map is finite and faithfully flat. These two conditions respectively say that the group-scheme morphism is finite and faithfully flat (hence fpqc-surjective). A central isogeny is an isogeny whose scheme-theoretic kernel is central.

The definitions are stated over an arbitrary commutative base ring. Over a field, for affine algebraic groups of finite type, this is the coordinate-algebra form of the usual finite surjective group morphism. Keeping faithful flatness explicit avoids replacing scheme-theoretic surjectivity by a weaker statement about points over the base field.

The isogeny and central-kernel interfaces and their proof organization are adapted from the prior formalizations in TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.GroupScheme.CentralIsogeny.Basic and TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.GroupScheme.CentralIsogeny.Coordinate.

This supplies the central-isogeny interface requested in Layer 6, "Reductive and semisimple groups", of TauCetiRoadmap/ReductiveGroups/README.md. It builds on the existing scheme-theoretic kernel and central Hopf-ideal APIs.

A morphism of affine group schemes is an isogeny when its coordinate morphism is finite and faithfully flat.

For f : H ⟶ K, this predicate concerns the contravariant group-scheme morphism Spec K ⟶ Spec H. Finiteness is therefore finiteness of K as an H-module through f, while faithful flatness is the scheme-theoretic surjectivity condition.

    A central isogeny is an isogeny whose scheme-theoretic kernel is central. The kernel is represented by the quotient of K by kernelHopfIdeal f, so centrality is imposed on that Hopf ideal.

      Restatement of the coordinate-algebra conditions defining a central isogeny.

      The coordinate-algebra definition of an isogeny agrees with the group-scheme definition after applying the contravariant Hopf spectrum functor.

      A bijective coordinate morphism is an isogeny.

      A bijective coordinate morphism is a central isogeny. Its kernel Hopf ideal is the augmentation ideal, hence cuts out the trivial central subgroup.

      The structure morphism from a finite faithfully flat commutative affine group scheme to the trivial group is a central isogeny. Its kernel is the whole source group, so nontrivial choices of K give central isogenies with nontrivial kernel.

      Every categorical isomorphism of commutative Hopf algebras is an isogeny.
