Affine group schemes

I am trying to clarify the definition of affine group schemes. It can be seen as a representable functor from the category of algebras to the category of groups. My question Let $k$ be an ...

Group isomorphism $\operatorname{Tgt}_e(G) \cong \operatorname{Hom}_{k-\text{linear}}(\ker(\epsilon)/\ker(\epsilon)^2, k)$ for algebraic groups.

I'm reading from Milne's text https://www.jmilne.org/math/CourseNotes/RG.pdf, in chapter 8 on Lie algebras of (affine) algebraic groups $G$ over $k$. In it, he claims in 8.6 that there is an ...

Which algebraic subvarieties of a group variety have a group structure?

Let $G$ be an algebraic group. Given an algebraic subvariety $X\subseteq G$, is there any way simple criterion to determine whether $X$ has a group structure or not? For example, when $X$ and $G$ are ...

Are there exotic group laws on affine space in characteristic zero?

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, and let $X = \mathbb{A}^n_k$ be affine $n$-space. Up to $k$-rational translation, we may assume that a map $e : \operatorname{Spec} k \to X$ is the inclusion ...

Regular functions on torsors

Let $X \rightarrow Y$ be a torsor for a linear algebraic group $G$ (i.e. $X$ is a principal $G$-bundle over $Y$). Assume also that both $X$, and $Y$ are affine. What can be said about $\mathbb{C}[X]$ ...

When is an image of a Hopf algebra a Hopf algebra?

Suppose $R\subseteq S$ is a flat extension of rings and $A/R$, $B/S$ are flat Hopf algebras. Let $\varphi:A\otimes_R S\to B$ be a surjective $S$-Hopf algebra homomorphism. When is it the case that $\...

Coordinate algebra of image of homomorphism between linear algebraic groups

Let $f: G\to H$ be a homomorphism of linear algebraic groups. Let $f^*: k[H]\to k[G]$ be the corresponding Hopf algebra morphism. Then $f^*$ factors as $k[H] \twoheadrightarrow k[H]/I\hookrightarrow ...

For an algebraic group $G$, a $G$-module induces a $Dist(G)$-module

I'm reading Representation of Algebraic Groups of Jantzen about Distribution of Algebra. In chapter 7, page 103, 7.11, the author is stating that if $G$ is a group scheme over $k$, then any $G$-module ...

Character group of diagonalizable group scheme

Suppose $k$ is an integral domain, $\Lambda$ is a commutative group, $k[\Lambda]$ is the corresponding group ring and $\text{Diag}(\Lambda) = \text{Spec}(k[\Lambda])$ is the diagonalizable group ...

Lie operator is left exact

In page 190, part (c) of the book "Algebraic groups, the theory of group schemes of finite type over a field" of Milne, there's a part stating that: An exact sequence of algebraic groups $e ...

Counterexample to "kernel determines image"

Working over a base field, there is a typical homomorphism theorem for affine algebraic groups ensuring that any two homomporphisms $G \to H_1$, $G \to H_2$ with the same kernel in $G$ have isomorphic ...

Distributions of a group scheme as differential operators.

I'm trying to understand the distributions on an affine group scheme act as differential operators. Let $X$ be a scheme and $G$ a group scheme both affine over some commutative ring $k$. Suppose $\...

Prove that $\Delta(x) = x \otimes1 + 1 \otimes x$ mod $I \otimes I $ for all $x \in I$.

I got stuck on this problem, so if anyone can give me a hint on this, I really appreciate. Let $I$ be the augmentation ideal in Hopf algebra $A$. Prove that $\Delta(x) = x \otimes1 + 1 \otimes x$ mod $...

Question about the equivalence between the categories of affine group schemes and Hopf algebras over $k$.

There is a proof given here (Theorem 1.3.4) of the equivalence between the categories $\mathbf{AffGrpSch}/k$ and $\mathbf{HopfAlg}^{opp}_k$. The author writes in the line before the theorem that ...

Book recommendation for Hopf algebras [duplicate]

My motivation for studying Hopf algebras is twofold: I'm interested in representation theory and the algebraic structure of group rings. I will also take a course on algebraic groups soon and I ...
