The Balmer spectrum and the thick tensor ideals of the derived category of a Hopf algebra

Given a Hopf algebra $H$ over a field $\mathbb{k}$, the category of finite-dimensional left-$H$-modules naturally becomes a rigid monoidal category with exact monoidal product. Thus clearly the ...

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 ...

$\mathbb{Z}$-graded algebras and tensor products

Let $A = \bigoplus_{k \in \mathbb{Z}} A_k$ be a not necessarily commutative $\mathbb{Z}$-graded unital algebra over a field $\mathbb{K}$, and assume that it is strongly graded: $$ A_kA_l = A_{k+l}. $$ ...

A weaker version of strongly graded algebras

Let $A = \oplus_{i \in \mathbb{Z}} A_i$ be a graded algebra. We say that it is strongly graded if $A_i.A_j = A_{i+j}$, for all $i,j \in \mathbb{Z}$. Can there be existing a graded algebra such that $$...

Is there a ''simple'' formula for the inverse of the Drinfeld associator?

The Drinfeld associator $\Phi(x_0, x_1)$ encodes the parallel transport of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) connection $\nabla$ on the bundle $\mathbb{C}\langle\langle x_0, x_1\rangle\rangle$ of formal ...

What kind of algebraic object is $\mathcal{D}_X$? (algebra of diifferential operators). What's special about modules over it?

Let $R$ be a regular ring over a field of char 0. Let $X=Spec R$ and $D=\mathcal{D}_X$ the algebra of differential operators over it. The overall vague question is what kind of algebraic object is $...

Lazard's theorem and Hopf structures on the polynomial algebra

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. A well-known result of Lazard's states that an algebraic group which is isomorphic as a variety to an affine space is unipotent (M. ...

Finitely Generated Commutative Hopf $*$-Algebras

As is well known, using the Hilbert Nullstellensatz (and a more recent result of Cartier) one can show that commutative finitely generated Hopf algebras over $\mathbb{C}$ are equivalent to algebraic ...

Algebraic Groups, Modules, and Comodules

Background: Let $H$ be a finitely generated commutative Hopf $k$-algebra, where $k$ is a field of non-zero characteristic. For $$ \widehat{H} := \text{Alg}_k\{H; k\}, $$ we recall (see Abe Chapter 4 ...

Action of Landweber-Novikov algebra on infinite polynomial ring

Denote $\text{Aut}(\hat{{\mathbb A}}^1)$ be the affine group over ${\mathbb Z}$ that sends some ring $R$ to the strict automorphisms of $R[[t]]$, i.e. those of the form $X\mapsto X + r_1 X^2 + r_2 X^3 ...

Geometric interpretation of integrals of coordinate rings

If $X$ is an affine scheme over the field $k$ than algebraic invariants of the coordinate ring $k[X]$ usually have a geometric interpretation in terms of $X$ (and vice versa). As an example, the ...

On local parameters at the origin in an algebraic group

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and $G$ an algebraic group over $k$ which is also a $k$-variety (so $G$ is integral, etc). Let $I$ be the ideal defining the identity $e \in G$ and let $\{ t_1,...

Finite connected groups over a perfect field of characteristic p

In 14.4 of "Introduction to Affine Group Schemes" it is proved (!) that if $A$ represents a finite connected group scheme over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p$ then $A$ has the form $k[X_{1}, ...

Ring objects in the category of cocommutative coalgebras (aka Hopf rings).

I have recently been doing some calculations in topology which are naturally expressed in terms commutative ring objects in the category of cocommutative coalgebras. These have been studied for quite ...

Are groups in (Var/k, rational maps) necessarily algebraic groups?

Let $RVar$ be the category which has complex algebraic verieties as objects and rational maps as morphisms [Edit: for $RVar$ to be a category, the rational maps have to be dominant]. Let's consider a ...
