Coradical filtration for comodules is exhaustive

It is a standard fact in the theory of coalgebras and comodules that, given a coalgebra $C$ and a comodule $M$ over $C$, the coradical filtration $$M_n := \Delta^{-1}(M\otimes C_0 + M_{n-1}\otimes C)$$...

What is known about vector subspaces of polynomial rings closed under factors?

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. Call a nonempty subset $F$ of $R$ a factroid if it is closed under sums and factors. That is: If $a,b \in F$, then $a+b \in F$, and If $a,b \in R$ with $a\in R$ ...

$C^\infty$-coring

We know that there the so called smooth algebras also known as $C^\infty$-rings. They can play an important role in modern treatment of differential geometry. Is there a coring analogue?

Hopf algebras actions

Can you write down a general type of Hopf algebra action? How do you justify the name "action", when it is already used for group actions? There must be a common core, if the same term is ...

Reference for cocommutative coalgebras

I'm looking for references on cocommutative coalgebras where I can see them as kind of infinitesimal spaces. I'm trying to understand this post Why do Lie algebras pop up, from a categorical point of ...

Is there a way in which "space" of random variables on $\mathbb{R}$ is canonically a coaugmented coalgebra?

Consider the "space" of random variables with finite expectation on $\mathbb{R}$ in the following sense: we fix the Borel $\sigma$-algebra on $\mathbb{R}$, and put random variables in ...

When are topoi of coalgebras atomic?

A geometric morphism is atomic if its inverse image is logical. Now consider a Grothendieck topos $\varepsilon$ and its terminal geometric morphism $\Gamma : \varepsilon \rightarrow Set$, topos is ...

Has anyone studied factoring as a CO-product?

In factorization, like integer factorization, you start with an integer and end up with a kind-of list of pairs of other elements, namely the factors. I want to explore the "Co-ness" of this....
