Milnor and Moore paper "On the structure of Hopf algebra" proposition 1.7 , filteration and grading

In the Milnor and Moore paper, "On the structure of Hopf algebra" proposition 1.7. Said the following:

Blockquote

  1. $A$ connected $K$-algebra
  2. $N$ a left $A$ module and it is connected $K$-graded module i.e. there is an isomoprhism $\eta_N:K\to N_0$ which result in augementation $\varepsilon_N:N\to K$
  3. $C=K\otimes_A N$, here $K$ is considered as $A$-rightmodule by the action $K\otimes A \to_\cong A \to_{\varepsilon_A} K$
  4. $\Delta :N \to N\otimes C$ morphism of left $A$ modules.
  5. $\pi:N\to C$ canonical epimorphism, let $f:C\to N$ such that $\pi f = id_C$ in this paper they used $C$ the object letter to indicate the identity morphism
  6. $(\varepsilon_N\otimes C)\circ \Delta =f$
  7. $(N\otimes \varepsilon_C)\circ \Delta = N$
  8. $A\otimes C \to_{i\otimes C} N\otimes C $ is monomorphism.

If $\tilde{f}$ to be the composition $$A\otimes C > \to_{A\otimes f} A \otimes N \to_{\varphi_N} N$$ then it is an isomorophism

The map $i$ is defined as the composition $$A\to_{\cong} A\otimes K \to_{A\otimes \eta_N} A\otimes N \to_{\varphi_N} N$$ and $\varphi_N$ the left action of $A$ on $N$

My question: in the process to show that $\tilde{f}$ is monomorphism, they showed $\Delta \tilde{f}$ is monomorphism.

They define a filteration on $$F_p(A\otimes C) = \sum_{q\geq p} A\otimes C_q \text{ and } F_p(N\otimes C) = \sum_{q\geq p} N\otimes C_q$$ Then they said: "let $E^0 (A\otimes C)$ the associated bigraded module" is this the grading associated with the filteration i.e. $gr_p(A\otimes C) = F_p/F_{p-1}$ ? or it is just the grading on $A$ and $C$ as $K$-modules? I guess it is the second since they said $E^0_{p,q} (A\otimes C) = A_p \otimes C_q$ After that they said we identify $E^0(A\otimes C)$ with $A\otimes C$ ? then why did they introduce the $E^0$?
