Name for the action of a bialgebra on an algebra

Give an algebra $A$, a bialgebra $B$, and an action, that is, a bilinear map $\triangleright: B \times A \to A$ such that $$ (b_1b_2) \triangleright a = b_1\triangleright(b_2 \triangleright a). $$ ...

Name for a Hopf algebra whose only grouplike element is the identity?

For a $k$-Hopf algebra $H$ and element $h \in H$ is called grouplike is $\Delta(h) = h \otimes h$ and $\epsilon(h)=1_k$ ($\epsilon$ is the counit). The identity $1_H$ is clearly grouplike, but in ...
