Mar 8, 2012 at 5:43 comment added Vladimir Dotsenko Thanks, I knew that and should have remembered it. It's just one of those terms that always confuses me (algebras have more structures than rings, but Hopf rings have more structures than Hopf algebras). Did you trace through Macdonald's "Symmetric functions and Hall polynomials"? I think something of what you need must be contained in the relevant chapter there.
Mar 8, 2012 at 3:40 comment added Allen Knutson Reference for the first statement: the book "$\lambda$-rings and the representation theory of the symmetric group", by D. Knutson.
Mar 7, 2012 at 19:27 comment added Joe Johnson @VladimirDotsenko: Having a product and coproduct makes it a hopf algebra. A hopf ring has an additional product that satisfies some further axioms with the coproduct and original product.
Mar 7, 2012 at 18:59 comment added Vladimir Dotsenko I thought Hopf means having a product and a coproduct. You choose to dualise one of your products?
