Subcoalgebras of symmetric algebra
Consider the symmetric algebra $S(V)$, with its coalgebra structure: $\Delta(x)=1\otimes x+x\otimes1$ on $V$, extended multiplicatively. What are its subcoalgebras?
In some vague sense, they seem to ...

Is there a coalgebraic definition of filtered algebras?
If $M$ is a monoid, then an $M$-graded algebra over $k$ is the same thing as a $k[M]$ comodule algebra. To see this, if $\delta$ is a coaction of $k[M]$ on an algebra $A$, for each $m \in M$ define

What is a coalgebra?
A coalgebra is a triple $(A,\Delta,\epsilon)$ consisting of a vector space, a coproduct, and a counit. Now as we all know, just like the unit in an algebra, the counit of a coalgebra is unique, i.e. ...
