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 ...

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}, ...

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 ...

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

Group and Hopf Algebra Structures for Projective Varieties

Let $V$ be a projective (or affine) variety. Does there exist a bijective correspondence between group structures on $V$ and Hopf algebra structures on the coordinate ring of $V$?

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 ...
