Definition of subcoalgebra over a commutative ring

Let $k$ be commutative ring and $(C, \Delta)$ be a coalgebra over $k$. Let $D$ be a $k$-submodule of $C$. Notes I'm reading give the following definition: $D$ is called subcoalgebra of $C$ if the ...

Is $Tor_A(k,k)$ a bicommutative Hopf algebra?

Let $A$ be a commutative (or graded commutative) algebra over a field $k.$ In some sources, such as Mcleary's book on spectral sequences, Corollary 7.12, pg. 248, it is claimed that $\text{Tor}_A(k,k)$...

Problem with Eisenbud's Lemma "Symmetry of Diagonalization"?

This question was first asked on MathSE but nobody answered. In his proof of Lemma A2.5 in his book Commutative Algebra with a View towards Algebraic Geometry, Prof. Eisenbud writes something like ...

Group-like elements in quotients of group rings

$\DeclareMathOperator\Gr{Gr}$Let $R$ be a local ring, let $A$ be a finite abelian group, and let $I$ be a Hopf ideal of the ring $R[A]$. The quotient $R[A]\twoheadrightarrow R[A]/I$ induces a map on ...

Tannaka–Krein duality

First I would like to stress that maybe I don't have a necessary background from the theory of Lie groups. I met the topic of Tannaka–Krein duality while reading the book of Gracia–Bondia, Varilly and ...

Classification of one dimensional (non-commutative) formal group laws over $k[\epsilon]/(\epsilon^n)$

It's well-known that any one dimensional formal group law over a $\mathbb Q$-algebra or a reduced ring is commutative, but there are one dimensioal non-commutative formal group laws over rings like $k[...

Update on "Hopf algebras: their status and pervasiveness" by Hazewinkel

Hazewinkel wrote this article in 2005. Perhaps it's time for an update. For example, updating item 34: Ordinary differential equations much work has been done on the underlying Hopf algebra (HA) of ...

Sub-Hopf algebras of group algebras

Let $k$ be a field and $G$ a finite group. Is every sub-Hopf algebra over $k$ of the group algebra $k[G]$ of the form $k[U]$ for a subgroup $U$ of $G$ ?

Further developments of Cartier–Gabriel–Kostant–Milnor–Moore Structure Theorem for cocommutative Hopf algebras

A very well-known theorem in Hopf algebra theory (see, for example, Lorenz - A tour of representation theory or the EGNO book (Etingof, Gelaki, Nikshych, and Ostrik - Tensor categories)) states that ...

'Noether normalization' for finite group schemes

Throughout let $p$ be a prime, and let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p$. Let $G$ be a compact Lie group. Such a $G$ can always be embedded as a closed subgroup of $SU(n)$ for some $n$. This ...

Generalized wreath products of commutative algebras with Hopf algebras

Fix $k$ a commutative ring (or, if more convenient, assume it’s a field or even an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, which is the case I’m mainly interested in). Let $A$ be a unital ...

Intuitive, elementary intros to Hopf algebras/monoids

Motivation: I'm interested in understanding the role that noncrossing partitions play in Hopf algebras/monoids (HAs) as the components of the power series of the compositional inverse of formal ...

Noncrossing partitions in Hopf algebras/monoids via compositional inversion

Partition polynomials constructed from the face structures of the associahedra (OEIS A133437) and permutahedra (A133314) comprise the antipodes/compositional inverses in a Faa-di-Bruno-type Hopf ...

Exotic Hopf algebra structures on the $p$-fold direct product in characteristic $p > 0$

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0 $ and let $A$ be an algebra over $k$, which is a local ring. There is an isomorphism of algebras $\prod_{i=1}^p A \cong A \otimes k[...
