Vertex coalgebras, comodules, cocommutativity and coassociativity

We introduce the notion of vertex coalgebra, a generalization of vertex operator coalgebras. Next we investigate forms of cocommutativity, coassociativity, skew-symmetry, and an endomorphism, D^∗, which hold on vertex coalgebras. The former two properties require grading. We then discuss comodule structure. We conclude by discussing instances where graded vertex coalgebras appear, particularly as related to Primc’s vertex Lie algebra and (universal) enveloping vertex algebras.     

Cancellation Problems and Dimension Theory

In this note, we study the global dimension of coalgebras and discuss the class of coalgebras of global dimension less or equal to 1. The coalgebras in this class, which contains all the cosemisimple coalgebras, are called hereditary coalgebras. If C is a finite dimensional coalgebra, then C is hereditary if and only if C (the convolution algebra of C) is a hereditary algebra. Any direct sum of hereditary coalgebras is hereditary too. This gives us many examples of infinite dimensional hereditary coalgebras. A coalgebra is left hereditary if and only if it is right hereditary. Moreover, there do not exist hereditary Hopf algebras of finite dimension which are not cosemisimple.     

Chain and distributive coalgebras

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. Infinite dimensional chain coalgebras are 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 is separable over the base field, every chain coalgebra of type D can be embedded in such a cotensor coalgebra. As a consequence, cotensor coalgebras arising in this way are the only infinite dimensional chain coalgebras over perfect fields. Finite duals of power series rings with coeficients in a finite dimensional division algebra D are further examples of chain coalgebras, which also can be seen as tensor products of D^∗, and the divided power coalgebra and can be realized as the generalized path coalgebra of a loop. If D is central, any chain coalgebra is a subcoalgebra of the finite dual of D[[x]].     

Cofree Compositions of Coalgebras

We develop the notion of the composition of two coalgebras, which arises naturally in higher category theory and in the theory of species. We prove that the composition of two cofree coalgebras is again cofree, and we give sufficient conditions that ensure the composition is a one-sided Hopf algebra. We show that these conditions are satisfied when one coalgebra is a graded Hopf operad ${\mathcal{D}}$ and the other is a connected graded coalgebra with coalgebra map to ${\mathcal{D}}$ . We conclude by computing the primitive elements for compositions of coalgebras built on the vertices of multiplihedra, composihedra, and hypercubes.

Valued Gabriel quiver of a wedge product and semiprime coalgebras

We describe the valued Gabriel quiver of a wedge product of coalgebras and study the category of comodules of a semiprime coalgebra. In particular, we prove that any monomial semiprime k-tame fc-tame coalgebra is string. We also prove a version of Eisenbud-Griffith theorem for coalgebras, namely, any hereditary semiprime strictly quasi-finite coalgebra is serial.     

Linearly compact algebraic Lie algebras and coalgebraic Lie coalgebras

It is proved that if the dual Lie algebra of a Lie coalgebra is algebraic, then it is algebraic of bounded degree. This result is an analog of the D.Radford's result for associative coalgebras.

     

On extensions of rational modules

Given a topological algebra A, we investigate when the categories of all rational A-modules and of finite-dimensional rational modules are closed under extensions inside the category of A-modules. We give a complete characterization of these two properties, in terms of a topological and a homological condition, for complete algebras. We also give connections to other important notions in coalgebra theory such as coreflexive coalgebras. In particular, we are able to generalize many previously known partial results and answer some questions in this direction, and obtain large classes of coalgebras for which rational modules are closed under extensions as well as various examples where this is not true.     

Conformal designs based on vertex operator algebras

We introduce the notion of a conformal design based on a vertex operator algebra. This notation is a natural analog of the notion of block designs or spherical designs when the elements of the design are based on self-orthogonal binary codes or integral lattices, respectively. It is shown that the subspaces of an extremal self-dual vertex operator algebra of fixed degree form conformal 11-, 7-, or 3-designs, generalizing similar results of Assmus and Mattson and Venkov for extremal doubly-even codes and extremal even lattices. Other examples are coming from group actions on vertex operator algebras, the case studied first by Matsuo. The classification of conformal 6- and 8-designs is investigated. Again, our results are analogous to similar results for codes and lattices.     

Flat Comodules and Perfect Coalgebras

Stenström introduced the notion of flat object in a locally finitely presented Grothendieck category 𝒜. In this article we investigate this notion in the particular case of the category 𝒜 = C-Comod of left C-comodules, where C is a coalgebra over a field K. Several characterizations of flat left C-comodules are given and coalgebras having enough flat left C-comodules are studied. It is shown how far these coalgebras are from being left semiperfect. As a consequence, we give new characterizations of a left semiperfect coalgebra in terms of flat comodules. Left perfect coalgebras are introduced and characterized in analogy with Bass's Theorem P. Coalgebras whose injective left C-comodules are flat are discussed and related to quasi-coFrobenius coalgebras.     

Quantum algebras,quantum coalgebras,invariants of 1-1 tangles and knots

Quantum coalgebras are defined and studied. A theory of asso­ciated invariants of 1-1 tangles, knots and links is developed. The notion of quantum coalgebra is more general than dual of quantum algebra. Examples of quantum algebras include quasitriangular Hopf algebras and examples of quantum coalgebras include coquasi triangu­lar Hopf algebras.     

The duality between algebras and coalgebras

In this paper we introduce the category of Yang-Baxter structures. We give examples of objects in this category. We construct full and faithful embbedings from the categories of algebra and coalgebra structures to the category of Yang-Baxter structures. Then we give a new duality theorem which extends the duality between finite dimensional algebras and coalgebras.

The varieties of Heisenberg vertex operator algebras

For a vertex operator algebra V with conformal vector ω,we consider a class of vertex operator subalgebras and their conformal vectors.They are called semi-conformal vertex operator subalgebras and semiconformal vectors of(V,ω),respectively,and were used to study duality theory of vertex operator algebras via coset constructions.Using these objects attached to(V,ω),we shall understand the structure of the vertex operator algebra(V,ω).At first,we define the set Sc(V,ω)of semi-conformal vectors of V, then we prove that Sc(V,ω)is an affine algebraic variety with a partial ordering and an involution map.Corresponding to each semi-conformal vector,there is a unique maximal semi-conformal vertex operator subalgebra containing it.The properties of these subalgebras are invariants of vertex operator algebras.As an example,we describe the corresponding varieties of semi-conformal vectors for Heisenberg vertex operator algebras.As an application,we give two characterizations of Heisenberg vertex operator algebras using the properties of these varieties.     

Covering Coalgebras and Dual Non-singularity

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 (see Jara et al., Commun. Algebra, 34(8):2843–2856, 2006 and Nastasescu and Torrecillas, J. Algebra, 185:203–220, 1994). Here we look at possible coalgebra covers π : D → C that could play the rôle of a coalgebra colocalisation. 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 modules which turns out to be the comodule-theoretic property that turns the dual algebra of a coalgebra into a non-singular ring. As a corollary we deduce that hereditary coalgebras and hence path coalgebras are non-singular in the above sense. We also look at coprime coalgebras and Hopf algebras which are non-singular as coalgebras.

On Gorenstein coalgebras

We investigate the comodule representation category over the Morita-Takeuchi context coalgebra Γ and study the Gorensteinness of Γ. Moreover, we determine explicitly all Gorenstein injective comodules over the Morita-Takeuchi context coalgebra Γ and discuss the localization in Gorenstein coalgebras. In particular, we describe its Gabriel quiver and carry out some examples when the Morita-Takeuchi context coalgebra is basic.     

Weighted infinitesimal unitary bialgebras,pre-Lie,matrix algebras,and polynomial algebras

Motivated by comatrix coalgebras, we introduce the concept of a Newtonian comatrix coalgebra. We construct an infinitesimal unitary bialgebra on matrix algebras, via the construction of a suitable coproduct. As a consequence, a Newtonian comatrix coalgebra is established. Furthermore, an infinitesimal unitary Hopf algebra, under the view of Aguiar, is constructed on matrix algebras. By the close relationship between pre-Lie algebras and infinitesimal unitary bialgebras, we erect a pre-Lie algebra and a new Lie algebra on matrix algebras. Finally, a weighted infinitesimal unitary bialgebra on non-commutative polynomial algebras is also given.     

A theory of tensor products for module categories for a vertex operator algebra, III

This is the third part in a series of papers developing a tensor product theory for modules for a vertex operator algebra. The goal of this theory is to construct a “vertex tensor category” structure on the category of modules for a suitable vertex operator algebra. The notion of vertex tensor category is essentially a “complex analogue” of the notion of symmetric tensor category, and in fact a vertex tensor category produces a braided tensor category in a natural way. In this paper, we focus on a particular element P(z) of a certain moduli space of three-punctured Riemann spheres; in general, every element of this moduli space will give rise to a notion of tensor product, and one must consider all these notions in order to construct a vertex tensor category. Here we present the fundamental properties of the P(z)-tensor product of two modules for a vertex operator algebra. We give two constructions of a P(z)-tensor product, using the results, established in Parts I and II of this series, for a certain other element of the moduli space. The definitions and results in Parts I and II are recalled.     

Antipodes and incidence coalgebras

We introduce the notion of a reduced incidence coalgebra of a family of locally finite partially ordered sets and describe how bialgebras and Hopf algebras arise as such coalgebras. In the case when a reduced incidence coalgebra is a Hopf algebra, we give explicit recursive and closed formulas for the antipode, each of which generalizes a corresponding formula from the theory of Möbius functions. We give applications to the inversion of ordinary formal power series and inversion of Dirichlet series. We also formulate the classical Lagrange inversion formula as a combinatorial formula for the antipode of a Hopf algebra arising from the family of finite partition lattices.
