A Basic Introduction to Hopf Algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper offers an introduction to Hopf algebras. It is not a paper describing basic properties and applications of Hopf algebras. Rather, it is a paper providing the necessary structures in order to construct a Hopf algebra. It examines tensor products, algebras, coalgebras, bialgebras, and homology groups. After reading this paper, the reader will not be sufficiently experienced in Hopf algebras to pursue complex applications. However, the reader will be well-versed in the underlying structure of Hopf algebras, which will help any future applications.

متن کاملA 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...
