Topic: The category of commutative Hopf algebras


Michał Mrugała (Mar 15 2025 at 23:15):

It seems to me that something like Hopf_ <| Under <| CommRingCat.of R is the correct thing to do, but surprisingly CommRingCat doesn't have a MonoidalCategory instance!

Eric Wieser (Mar 15 2025 at 23:36):

You can get it through the corresponding structure on AlgebraCat Int

Michał Mrugała (Mar 15 2025 at 23:37):

I'm not sure how this deals with the non-commutativity, since AlgebraCat ℤ consists of non-commutative algebras as well

Eric Wieser (Mar 15 2025 at 23:55):

Whoops, I meant docs#CommAlg

Eric Wieser (Mar 15 2025 at 23:55):

Maybe I'm imagining all of this...

Eric Wieser (Mar 15 2025 at 23:59):

I'm not going totally mad, this just never made it to mathlib: https://leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/116395-maths/topic/Monoidal.20instance.20on.20R-algebras/near/396531046

Eric Wieser (Mar 15 2025 at 23:59):

There's another thread about CommAlg elsewhere too

Michał Mrugała (Mar 16 2025 at 00:00):

I made a thread asking if it exists too at some point

Christian Merten (Mar 16 2025 at 09:16):

Maybe we should make an abbrev CommAlgCat R := Under R, so that this question does not keep coming up.
