Hopf algebras #
In this file we define HopfAlgebra, and provide instances for:
- Commutative semirings:
CommSemiring.toHopfAlgebra
Main definitions #
HopfAlgebra R A: the Hopf algebra structure on anR-bialgebraA.HopfAlgebra.antipode: theR-linear mapA →ₗ[R] A.
Main results #
HopfAlgebra.antipode_one: the antipode of the unit is the unit.HopfAlgebra.antipode_mul: the antipode is an antihomomorphism:S(ab) = S(b)S(a).
TODO #
Uniqueness of Hopf algebra structure on a bialgebra (i.e. if the algebra and coalgebra structures agree then the antipodes must also agree).
If
Ais commutative thenantipodeis an algebra homomorphism.If
Ais commutative thenantipodeis necessarily a bijection and its square is the identity.
(Note that all three facts have been proved for Hopf bimonoids in an arbitrary braided category,
so we could deduce the facts here from an equivalence HopfAlgCat R ≌ Hopf (ModuleCat R).)
References #
Isolates the antipode of a Hopf algebra, to allow API to be constructed before proving the
Hopf algebra axioms. See HopfAlgebra for documentation.

The antipode of the Hopf algebra.
Instances
A Hopf algebra over a commutative (semi)ring R is a bialgebra over R equipped with an
R-linear endomorphism antipode satisfying the antipode axioms.

One of the antipode axioms for a Hopf algebra.
- mul_antipode_lTensor_comul : LinearMap.mul' R A ∘ₗ LinearMap.lTensor A (antipode R) ∘ₗ CoalgebraStruct.comul = Algebra.linearMap R A ∘ₗ CoalgebraStruct.counit
One of the antipode axioms for a Hopf algebra.
Instances
The antipode is an antihomomorphism #
We prove that antipode (a * b) = antipode b * antipode a. The proof uses the "left inverse
equals right inverse" trick in the convolution algebra (A ⊗ A) →ₗ[R] A.
The antipode reverses multiplication: S(ab) = S(b)S(a).
Every commutative (semi)ring is a Hopf algebra over itself
