In this note we study dual coalgebras of algebras over arbitrary (noetherian) commutative rings. We present and study a generalized notion of coreflexive comodules and use the results obtained for them to characterize the so called coreflexive coalgebras. Our approach in this note is an algebraically topological one.
We study non-counital coalgebras and their dual non-unital algebras, and introduce the finite dual of a non-unital algebra. We show that a theory that parallels in good part the duality in the unital case can be constructed. Using this, we introduce a new notion of left coreflexivity for counital coalgebras, namely, a coalgebra is left coreflexive if $C$ is isomorphic canonically to the finite dual of its left rational dual $Rat(_{C^*}C^*)$. We show that right semiperfectness for coalgebras is in fact essentially equivalent to this left reflexivity condition, and we give the connection to usua…
In this article we defined and studied quasi-finite comodules, the cohom functors for coalgebras over rings. linear functors between categories of comodules are also investigated and it is proved that good enough linear functors are nothing but a cotensor functor. Our main result of this work characterizes equivalences between comodule categories generalizing the Morita-Takeuchi theory to coalgebras over rings. Morita-Takeuchi contexts in our setting is defined and investigated, a correspondence between strict Morita-Takeuchi contexts and equivalences of comodule categories over the involved c…
We study the connection between two combinatorial notions associated to a quiver: the quiver algebra and the path coalgebra. We show that the quiver coalgebra can be recovered from the quiver algebra as a certain type of finite dual, and we show precisely when the path coalgebra is the classical finite dual of the quiver algebra, and when all finite dimensional quiver representations arise as comodules over the path coalgebra. We discuss when the quiver algebra can be recovered as the rational part of the dual of the path coalgebra. Similar results are obtained for incidence (co)algebras. We a…
We study the injective envelopes of the simple right $C$-comodules, and their duals, where $C$ is a coalgebra. This is used to give a short proof and to extend a result of Iovanov on the dimension of the space of integrals on coalgebras. We show that if $C$ is right co-Frobenius, then the dimension of the space of left $M$-integrals on $C$ is $\leq {\rm dim}M$ for any left $C$-comodule $M$ of finite support, and the dimension of the space of right $N$-integrals on $C$ is $\geq {\rm dim}N$ for any right $C$-comodule $N$ of finite support. If $C$ is a coalgebra, it is discussed how far is the du…
T. Shudo and H. Miyamito \cite{SM78} showed that $C$ can be decomposed into a direct sum of its indecomposable subcoalgebras of $C$. Y.H. Xu \cite {XF92} showed that the decomposition was unique. He also showed that $M$ can uniquely be decomposed into a direct sum of the weak-closed indecomposable subcomodules of $M$(we call the decomposition the weak-closed indecomposable decomposition) in \cite{XSF94}. In this paper, we give the relation between the two decomposition. We show that if $M$ is a full, $W$-relational hereditary $C$-comodule, then the following conclusions hold: (1) $M$ is indeco…
We show that the category of comodules over a coassociative coalgebra in a complete, cocomplete and well-powered category has limits and colimits under additional assumptions.
Localisation is an important technique in ring theory and yields the construction of various rings of quotients. Colocalisation in comodule categories has been investigated by some authors where the colocalised coalgebra turned out to be a suitable subcoalgebra. Rather then aiming at a subcoalgebra we look at possible coalgebra covers p:D->>C that could play the role of a dual quotient object. Codense covers will dualise dense (or rational) extensions; a maximal codense cover construction for coalgebras with projective covers is proposed. We also look at a dual non-singularity concept for modu…
We show that coalgebras whose lattice of right coideals is distributive are coproducts of coalgebras whose lattice of right coideals is a chain. Those chain coalgebras are characterized as finite duals of noetherian chain rings whose residue field is a finite dimensional division algebra over the base field. They also turn out to be coreflexive and infinite dimensional chain coalgebras turn out to be finite duals of left noetherian chain domains. Given any finite dimensional division algebra D and D-bimodule structure on D we construct a chain coalgebra as a cotensor coalgebra. Moreover if D i…
The injective right comodules appearing in the minimal injective resolution of a finite-dimensional comodule need not to be of finite dimension or even quasi-finite. The obstruction here is that factor comodules of quasi-finite comodules are not in general quasi-finite. This note is mainly devoted to the study of coalgebras for which the class of all quasi-finite right comodules is closed under factor comodules. A major tool here is the local study, in the sense of abstract localization, of the comodules which have all their factors quasi-finite.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of globalization for partial module coalgebra and for partial comodule coalgebra. We show that every partial module coalgebra is globalizable exhibiting a standard globalization. We also show the existence of globalization for a partial comodule coalgebra, provided a certain rationality condition. Moreover, we show a relationship between the globalization for the (co)module coalgebra and the usual globalization for the (co)module algebra.
We analyze the geometry of the Ext-quiver of a coalgebra $C$ in order to study the behavior of simple and injective $C$-comodules under the action of the functors associated to a localizing subcategory of the category of $C$-comodules.
In this paper we introduce modules over both left and right Hom-alternative algebras. We give some constructions of left and right Hom-alternative modules and give various properties of both, as well as examples. Then, we prove that morphisms of left alternative algebras extend to morphisms of left Hom-alternative algebras. Next, we introduce comodules over Hom-Poisson coalgebras and show that we may obtain a structure map of a comodule over a Hom-Poisson coalgebra from a given one.
The duality between partial actions (partial $H$-module algebras) and co-actions (partial $H$-comodule algebras) of a Hopf algebra $H$ is fully explored in this work. A connection between partial (co)actions and Hopf algebroids is established under certain commutativity conditions. Moreover, we continue this duality study, introducing also partial $H$-module coalgebras and their associated $C$-rings, partial $H$-comodule coalgebras and their associated cosmash coproducts, as well as the mutual interrelations between these structures.
While semisimple artinian rings and semisimple coalgebras over a field can be described in terms of matrices (either matrix ring over division rings or comatrix coalgebras over the ground field), semisimple corings seem to have a more intrincated structure in general. It turns out that some well-known properties of semisimple rings or coalgebras, which are immediately deduced from the aforementioned structure, are not evident over a (left) semi-simple coring. For instance, it is not evident that the notion of semi-simple coring is left-right symmetric. To be precise, if every left comodule dec…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity and $C$ be an $R$-coalgebra. The ring $R$ is clean if every $ r\in R $ is the sum of a unit and an idempotent element of $R$. An $R$-module $M$ is clean if the endomorphism ring of $M$ over $R$ is clean. Moreover, every continuous module is clean. We modify this idea to the comodule and coalgebra cases. A $C$-comodule $M$ is called a clean comodule if the $C$-comodule endomorphisms of $M$ are clean. We introduced continuous comodules and proved that every continuous comodules is a clean comodule.
We introduce the notion of a partial corepresentation of a given Hopf algebra $H$ over a coalgebra $C$ and the closely related concept of a partial $H$-comodule. We prove that there exists a universal coalgebra $H^{par}$, associated to the original Hopf algebra $H$, such that the category of regular partial $H$-comodules is isomorphic to the category of $H^{par}$-comodules. We introduce the notion of a Hopf coalgebroid and show that the universal coalgebra $H^{par}$ has the structure of a Hopf coalgebroid over a suitable coalgebra.
For any compact $p$-adic Lie group $G$, the Iwasawa algebra $Ω_G$ over finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ is a complete noetherian semilocal algebra. It is shown that $Ω_G$ is the dual algebra of an artinian coalgebra $C$. We induce a duality between the derived category $\mathcal{D}^b_{fg}(_{Ω_G}\mathcal{M})$ of bounded complexes of left $Ω_G$-modules with finitely generated cohomology modules and the derived category $\mathcal{D}^b_{qf}(^C\mathcal{M})$ of bounded complexes of left $C$-comodules with quasi-finite cohomology comodules.
We show that almost split sequences in the category of comodules over a coalgebra with finite-dimensional right-hand term are direct limits of almost split sequences over finite dimensional subcoalgebras. In previous work we showed that such almost split sequences exist if the right hand term has a quasifinitely copresented linear dual. Conversely, taking limits of almost split sequences over finte-dimensional comodule categories, we then show that, for countable-dimensional coalgebras, certain exact sequences exist which satisfy a condition weaker than being almost split, which we call ``fini…
We show that basic notions of locally analytic representation theory can be reformulated in the language of topological coalgebras (Hopf algebras) and comodules. We introduce the notion of admissible comodule and show that it corresponds to the notion of admissible representation in the case of topological Hopf algebra of locally analytic functions on a compact $p$-adic group.
We consider the category of comodules over a smash coproduct coalgebra $C\smashco H$. We show that there is a Grothendieck spectral sequence connecting the derived functors of the Hom functors coming from $C\smashco H$-colinear, $H$-colinear and rational $C$-colinear morphisms. We give several applications and connect our results to existing spectral sequences in the literature.
We introduce the notion of Rota-Baxter coalgebra which can be viewed as the dual notion of Rota-Baxter algebra. We provide some concrete examples and establish various properties of this new object. We also consider comodules over Rota-Baxter coalgebras.
For a ring $R$, the properties of being (left) selfinjective or being cogenerator for the left $R$-modules do not imply one another, and the two combined give rise to the important notion of PF-rings. For a coalgebra $C$, (left) self-projectivity implies that $C$ is generator for right comodules and the coalgebras with this property were called right quasi-co-Frobenius; however, whether the converse implication is true is an open question. We provide an extensive study of this problem. We show that this implication does not hold, by giving a large class of examples of coalgebras having the "ge…
An algebraic deformation theory of module-algebras over a bialgebra is constructed. The cases of module-coalgebras, comodule-algebras, and comodule-coalgebras are also considered.
In this note we consider different versions of coinduction functors between categories of comodules for corings induced by a morphism of corings. In particular we introduce a new version of the coinduction functor in the case of locally projective corings as a composition of suitable ``Trace'' and ``Hom'' functors and show how to derive it from a more general coinduction functor between categories of type $σ\lbrack M].$ In special cases (e.g. the corings morphism is part of a morphism of measuring $α$-pairings or the corings have the same base ring), a version of our functor is shown to be iso…
We study comodule functors for comonads arising from mixed distributive laws. Their Galois property is reformulated in terms of a (so-called) regular arrow in Street's bicategory of comonads. Between categories possessing equalizers, we introduce the notion of a regular adjunction. An equivalence is proven between the category of pre-torsors over two regular adjunctions $(N_A,R_A)$ and $(N_B,R_B)$ on one hand, and the category of regular comonad arrows $(R_A,ξ)$ from some equalizer preserving comonad ${\mathbb C}$ to $N_BR_B$ on the other. This generalizes a known relationship between pre-tors…
We investigate left and right co-Frobenius coalgebras and give equivalent characterizations which prove statements dual to the characterizations of Frobenius algebras. We prove that a coalgebra is left and right co-Frobenius if and only if C is isomorphic to Rat(C*) as right C*-modules and also that this is eqhivalent to the fact that the functors Hom_K(-,K) and Hom_{C*}(-,C*) from the category of right C-comodules to the category of all left C*-modules are isomorphic. This allows a definition of a left-right symmetric concept of co-Frobenius coalgebras that is perfectly dual to the one of Fro…
For a bialgebra $L$ coacting on a $\Bbbk$-algebra $A$, a classical result states that $A$ is a right $L$-comodule algebra if and only if $A$ is an algebra in the monoidal category $\mathcal{M}^{L}$ of right $L$-comodules; the former notion is formulaic while the latter is categorical. We generalize this result to the setting of weak bialgebras $H$. The category $\mathcal{M}^H$ admits a monoidal structure by work of Nill and Böhm-Caenepeel-Janssen, but the algebras in $\mathcal{M}^H$ are not canonically $\Bbbk$-algebras. Nevertheless, we prove that there is an isomorphism between the category o…
We introduce group corings, and study functors between categories of comodules over group corings, and the relationship to graded modules over graded rings. Galois group corings are defined, and a Structure Theorem for the $G$-comodules over a Galois group coring is given. We study (graded) Morita contexts associated to a group coring. Our theory is applied to group corings associated to a comodule algebra over a Hopf group coalgebra.
A duality theorem of the bounded derived category of quasi-finite comodules over an artinian coalgebra is established. Let $A$ be a noetherian complete basic semiperfect algebra over an algebraically closed field, and $C$ be its dual coalgebra. If $A$ is Artin-Schelter regular, then the local cohomology of $A$ is isomorphic to a shift of twisted bimodule ${}_1C_{σ^*}$ with $σ$ a coalgebra automorphism. This yields that the balanced dualinzing complex of $A$ is a shift of the twisted bimodule ${}_{σ^*}A_1$. If $σ$ is an inner automorphism, then $A$ is Calabi-Yau.
Firm Frobenius algebras are firm algebras and counital coalgebras such that the comultiplication is a bimodule map. They are investigated by categorical methods based on a study of adjunctions and lifted functors. Their categories of comodules and of firm modules are shown to be isomorphic if and only if a canonical comparison functor from the category of comodules to the category of non-unital modules factorizes through the category of firm modules. This happens for example if the underlying algebra possesses local units, e.g. the firm Frobenius algebra arises from a co-Frobenius coalgebra ov…
We study the universal measuring coalgebras P(A,B) of Sweedler and the universal measuring comodules Q(M,N) of Batchelor. We show that these universal objects exist in a very general context. We provide a detailed proof of an observation of Wraith, that the P(A,B) are the hom-objects of an enrichment of algebras in coalgebras. We show also that the Q(M,N) provide an enrichment of the global category of modules in the global category of comodules.
Galois comodules of a coring are studied. The conditions for a simple comodule to be a Galois comodule are found. A special class of Galois comodules termed principal comodules is introduced. These are defined as Galois comodules that are projective over their comodule endomorphism rings. A complete description of principal comodules in the case a background ring is a field is found. In particular it is shown that a (finitely generated and projective) right comodule of an $A$-coring $\mathcal C$ is principal provided a lifting of the canonical map is a split epimorphism in the category of left…
Let K be a comonad on a model category M. We provide conditions under which the associated category of K-coalgebras admits a model category structure such that the forgetful functor to M creates both cofibrations and weak equivalences. We provide concrete examples that satisfy our conditions and are relevant in descent theory and in the theory of Hopf-Galois extensions. These examples are specific instances of the following categories of comodules over a coring. For any semihereditary commutative ring R, let A be a dg R-algebra that is homologically simply connected. Let V be an A-coring that …
For a quasi-Hopf algebra $H$, a left $H$-comodule algebra $\mf{B}$ and a right $H$-module coalgebra $C$ we will characterize the category of Doi-Hopf modules ${}^C{\cal M}(H)_{\mf{B}}$ in terms of modules. We will also show that for an $H$-bicomodule algebra $\mb{A}$ and an $H$-bimodule coalgebra $C$ the category of generalized Yetter-Drinfeld modules ${}_{\mb{A}}{\cal YD}(H)^C$ is isomorphic to a certain category of Doi-Hopf modules. Using this isomorphism we will transport the properties from the category of Doi-Hopf modules to the category of generalized Yetter-Drinfeld modules.
Let $H$ be a bialgebra. Let $σ: H\otimes H\to A$ be a linear map, where $A$ is a left $H$-comodule coalgebra, and an algebra with a left $H$-weak action $\triangleright$. Let $τ: H\otimes H\to B$ be a linear map, where $B$ is a right $H$-comodule coalgebra, and an algebra with a right $H$-weak action $\triangleleft$. In this paper, we improve the necessary conditions for the two-sided crossed product algebra $A\#^σ H~{^τ\#} B$ and the two-sided smash coproduct coalgebra $A\times H\times B$ to form a bialgebra (called double crossed biproduct) such that the condition $b_{[1]}\triangleright a_0\…
In this paper we introduce and investigate top (bi)comodules} of corings, that can be considered as dual to top (bi)modules of rings. The fully coprime spectra of such (bi)comodules attains a Zariski topology, defined in a way dual to that of defining the Zariski topology on the prime spectra of (commutative rings. We restrict our attention in this paper to duo (bi)comodules (satisfying suitable conditions) and study the interplay between the coalgebraic properties of such (bi)comodules and the introduced Zariski topology. In particular, we apply our results to introduce a Zariski topology on …
Let C be a coalgebra over a field k and A its dual algebra. The category of C-comodules is equivalent to a category of A-modules. We use this to interpret the cotensor product M \square N of two comodules in terms of the appropriate Hochschild cohomology of the A-bimodule M \otimes N, when A is finite-dimensional, profinite, graded or differential-graded. The main applications are to Galois cohomology, comodules over the Steenrod algebra, and the homology of induced fibrations.
We generalize the results on existence and uniqueness of integrals from compact groups and Hopf algebras in a pure (co)algebraic setting, and find a series of new results on (quasi)-co-Frobenius and semiperfect coalgebras. For a coalgebra $C$, we introduce the generalized space of integrals $\int_M=\Hom^C(C,M)$ associated to a right $C$-comodule $M$ and study connections between "uniqueness of integrals" $\dim(\int_M)\leq \dim(M)$ and "existence of integrals" $\dim(\int_M)\geq \dim(M)$ for all $M$ and representation theoretic properties of $C$: (quasi)-co-Frobenius, semiperfect. We show that a…
We study and relate categories of modules, comodules and contramodules over a representation of a small category taking values in (co)algebras, in a manner similar to modules over a ringed space. As a result, we obtain a categorical framework which incorporates all the adjoint functors between these categories in a natural manner. Various classical properties of coalgebras and their morphisms arise naturally within this theory. We also consider cartesian objects in each of these categories, which may be viewed as counterparts of quasi-coherent sheaves over a scheme. We study their categorical …
We introduce "geometric" partial comodules over coalgebras in monoidal categories, as an alternative notion to the notion of partial action and coaction of a Hopf algebra introduced by Caenepeel and Janssen. The name is motivated by the fact that our new notion suits better if one wants to describe phenomena of partial actions in algebraic geometry. Under mild conditions, the category of geometric partial comodules is shown to be complete and cocomplete and the category of partial comodules over a Hopf algebra is lax monoidal. We develop a Hopf-Galois theory for geometric partial coactions to …
It will be seen that if $H$ is a weak Hopf algebra in the definition of coaction of weak bialgebras on coalgebras \cite{Wang}, then a definition property is suppressed giving rise to the (global) coactions of weak Hopf algebras on coalgebras. The next step will be introduce the more general notion of partial coactions of weak Hopf algebras on coalgebras as well as a family of examples via a fixed element on the weak Hopf algebra, illustrating both definitions: global and partial. Moreover, it will also be presented how to obtain a partial comodule coalgebra from a global one via projections, g…
For coalgebras $C$ over a field, we study when the categories ${}^C\Mm$ of left $C$-comodules and $\Mm^C$ of right $C$-comodules are symmetric categories, in the sense that there is a duality between the categories of finitely presented unitary left $R$-modules and finitely presented unitary left $L$-modules, where $R$ and $L$ are the functor rings associated to the finitely accessible categories ${}^C\Mm$ and $\Mm^C$.
We determine the Grothendieck ring of finite-dimensional comodules for the free Hopf algebra on a matrix coalgebra, and similarly for the free Hopf algebra with bijective antipode and other related universal quantum groups. The results turn out to be parallel to those for Wang and Van Daele's deformed universal compact quantum groups and Bichon's generalization of those results to universal cosovereign Hopf algebras: in all cases the rings are isomorphic to those of non-commutative polynomials over certain sets, these sets varying from case to case. In most cases we are able to give more preci…
This paper is based on the material of Section 4 and Appendix C in arXiv:1503.05523v6, which was excluded from the subsequent versions of arXiv:1503.05523. We present the definition of a dedualizing complex of bicomodules over a pair of cocoherent coassociative coalgebras $\mathcal C$ and $\mathcal D$. Given such a complex $\mathcal B^\bullet$, we construct an equivalence between the (bounded or unbounded) conventional, as well as absolute, derived categories of the abelian categories of left comodules over $\mathcal C$ and left contramodules over $\mathcal D$. Furthermore, we spell out the de…
The deformation bicomplex of a module-algebra over a bialgebra is constructed. It is then applied to study algebraic deformations in which both the module structure and the algebra structure are deformed. The cases of module-coalgebras, comodule-(co)algebras, and (co)module-bialgebras are also considered.
Let F denote the homotopy fiber of a map f:K-->L of 2-reduced simplicial sets. Using as input data the strongly homotopy coalgebra structure of the chain complexes of K and L, we construct a small, explicit chain algebra, the homology of which is isomorphic as a graded algebra to the homology of GF, the simplicial (Kan) loop group on F. To construct this model, we develop machinery for modeling the homotopy fiber of a morphism of chain Hopf algebras. Essential to our construction is a generalization of the operadic description of the category DCSH of chain coalgebras and of strongly homotopy c…
Following the idea of an invariant differential complex, we construct general-type cyclic modules that provide the common denominator of known cyclic theories. The cyclicity of these modules is governed by Hopf-algebraic structures. We prove that the existence of a cyclic operator forces a modification of the Yetter-Drinfeld compatibility condition leading to the concept of a stable anti-Yetter-Drinfeld module. This module plays the role of the space of coefficients in the thus obtained cyclic cohomology of module algebras and coalgebras, and the cyclic homology and cohomology of comodule alge…
