Abstract

We explore the notion of representation of an affine extension of an abelian variety -- such an extension is a faithfully flat affine morphism of k\Bbbk-group schemes q:GAq:G\to A, where AA is an abelian variety. We characterize the categories that arise as the category of representations of an affine extension q:GAq:G\to A, generalizing the classical results of Tannaka Duality established for affine k\Bbbk-group schemes (that is, when A=Spec(k)A=\operatorname{Spec}(\Bbbk)). We also prove the existence of a contravariant equivalence between the category of affine extensions of a given AA and the category of faithful commutative Hopf sheaves on AA, generalizing in this manner the well-known op-equivalence between affine group schemes and commutative Hopf algebras. If Hq\mathcal H_q is the Hopf sheaf on AA associated to qq, the category of representations of qq is equivalent to the category of Hq\mathcal H_q-comodules.
