A Basic Introduction to Hopf Algebras

NOTES ON REGULAR MULTIPLIER HOPF ALGEBRAS

In this paper, we associate canonically a precyclic mod- ule to a regular multiplier Hopf algebra endowed with a group-like projection and a modular pair in involution satisfying certain con- dition

Hopf algebra structures in particle physics

In the recent years, Hopf algebras have been introduced to describe certain combinatorial properties of quantum field theories. I will give a basic introduction to these algebras and review some occurrences in particle physics. PACS. 11.10.-z Field theory

Coalgebras, Hopf Algebras and Combinatorics

In loving memory of my mother " A mathematician is a machine for converting coffee into theorems. " —Alfréd Rényi " A comathematician, by categorical duality, is a machine for converting cotheorems into ffee. " —anonymous Preface Hopf algebras are a relatively new concept in algebra, first encountered by their namesake Heinz Hopf in 1941 in the field of algebraic topology. In the 1960s, study o...

On the Coderivations of Some Hopf Algebras

A primer of Hopf algebras

In this paper, we review a number of basic results about so-called Hopf algebras. We begin by giving a historical account of the results obtained in the 1930's and 1940's about the topology of Lie groups and compact symmetric spaces. The climax is provided by the structure theorems due to Hopf, Samelson, Leray and Borel. The main part of this paper is a thorough analysis of the relations betwee...
