show/hide this revision's text 2 I specialized what I mean for $K^+$.

If $H$ is a Hopf algebra over a field and $K$ is a a right or left coideal of $H$ then $K^+$ K^+=K\cap\ker\epsilon$ is a coideal of $H$. Does this hold when $k$ is a commutative ring? If not what is a counter example.

Thanks!

Coideals of Hopf algebra coming from right (left) coideals K->K^+

If $H$ is a Hopf algebra over a field and $K$ is a a right or left coideal of $H$ then $K^+$ is a coideal of $H$. Does this hold when $k$ is a commutative ring? If not what is a counter example.

Thanks!
