Understanding homomorphism from coalgebra to algebra












0












$begingroup$


Could someone please explain what exactly a homomorphism from coalgebra to algebra (from this paper: 1, page 10, definition 5.1). I understand a homomorphism as a map between two structures which preserves operations and their neutral elements, but which operations would it preserve between coalgebra and algebra? Thank you.

    Usually this is done if the domain and range are bialgebras, so they have both a product and a coproduct.

    Maybe linear map from coalgebra to algebra makes more sense, but I still don't understand how it can be defined. Found it there: maths.qmul.ac.uk/~whitty/LSBU/MathsStudyGroup/SeligHopf.pdf , on page 5, section 4 (in the beginning).

    Well it defines it explicitly with a formula. And it's exactly as I said: it's a map between bialgebras (specifically here a bialgebra with itself). In terms of linear maps, you can define a nontrivial linear map between any two nontrivial vector spaces over the same field. It's not a homomorphism, it's just a composition of particular important functions here, including the product and the coproduct.

    Thank you for explaining. So a linear map from coalgebra ($A$, $mu$, $nu$) to algebra ($A$, $Delta$, $epsilon$) is just a linear map $Ato A$?

Maybe an answer is not needed anymore, because the OP question has already been solved, but I think a clarification is needed for those who are not familiar with the subject.



If we have two vector spaces $V,W$ over a field $Bbbk$ then we can consider the set $mathsf{Hom}_{Bbbk}(V,W)$ of all $Bbbk$-linear maps from $V$ to $W$.



In the particular case in which $V$ has additionally a $Bbbk$-coalgebra structure $(V,Delta,varepsilon)$ and $W$ has an algebra structure $(W,m,u)$, then $mathsf{Hom}_{Bbbk}(V,W)$ can be endowed with a product $*$ (called the convolution product) and a unit element $1$ that makes of it a monoid, namely
$$f*g:=mcirc (fotimes g)circ Delta qquad text{and} qquad 1:=ucircvarepsilon,$$
which are still $Bbbk$-linear maps from $V$ to $W$.



If $V=W=(B,m,u,Delta,varepsilon)$ bialgebra, then $mathsf{Hom}_{Bbbk}(B,B)=mathsf{End}_{Bbbk}(B)$ is a monoid as above and an inverse of the identity $mathsf{Id}_B$ with respect to the convolution product (when it exists) is called and antipode. A bialgebra with an antipode is nowadays called a Hopf algebra.
