Is there a classical version of Yetter-Drinfeld modules?

One motivation for the notion of the Drinfeld double $D(H)$ of an Hopf algebra $H$ is that it is defined exactly so that modules over $D(H)$ correspond to Yetter-Drinfeld modules over $H$. If we think ...

What is a coalgebra?

A coalgebra is a triple $(A,\Delta,\epsilon)$ consisting of a vector space, a coproduct, and a counit. Now as we all know, just like the unit in an algebra, the counit of a coalgebra is unique, i.e. ...

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 $$ (b_1b_2) \triangleright a = b_1\triangleright(b_2 \triangleright a). $$ ...
