A local finiteness theorem for corings over semihereditary rings

The fundamental theorem on coalgebras asserts that coalgebras are locally finite in the case where the ground ring is a field. We prove the local finiteness theorem of corings under the semihereditarity condition on the base algebra and the projectivity condition on a coring. This result generalizes not only the fundamental theorem on coalgebras but also Hazewinkel’s result on the local finiteness of coalgebras over a principal ideal domain and Bergman’s unpublished result on the local finiteness of corings over a semisimple Artinian ring.     

Quasi-Frobenius Functors. Applications

We investigate functors between abelian categories having a left adjoint and a right adjoint that are similar (these functors are called quasi-Frobenius functors). We introduce the notion of a quasi-Frobenius bimodule and give a characterization of these bimodules in terms of quasi-Frobenius functors. Some applications to corings and graded rings are presented. In particular, the concept of quasi-Frobenius homomorphism of corings is introduced. Finally, a version of the endomorphism ring Theorem for quasi-Frobenius extensions in terms of corings is obtained.     

Adjoint and Frobenius Pairs of Functors for Corings

We investigate adjoint and Frobenius pairs between categories of comodules over rather general corings. We particularize to the case of the adjoint pair of functors associated to a morphism of corings over different base rings, which leads to a reasonable notion of Frobenius coring extension. When applied to corings stemming from entwining structures, we obtain new results in this setting and in graded ring theory.     

Group Corings

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.

Constructing Infinite Comatrix Corings from Colimits

We propose a class of infinite comatrix corings, and describe them as colimits of systems of usual comatrix corings. The infinite comatrix corings of El Kaoutit and Gómez Torrecillas are special cases of our construction, which in turn can be considered as a special case of the comatrix corings introduced recently by Gómez Torrecillas and the third author.      

Comatrix Coring Generalized and Equivalences of Categories of Comodules

We extend the comatrix coring to the case of a quasi-finite bicomodule. We also generalize some of its interesting properties. We study equivalences between categories of comodules over rather general corings. We particularize to the case of the adjoint pair of functors associated to a morphism of corings over different base rings. We apply our results to corings coming from entwining structures and graded structures, and we obtain new results in the setting of entwining structures and in the graded ring theory.     

The bicategories of corings

To a B-coring and a (B,A)-bimodule that is finitely generated and projective as a right A-module an A-coring is associated. This new coring is termed a base ring extension of a coring by a module. We study how the properties of a bimodule such as separability and the Frobenius properties are reflected in the induced base ring extension coring. Any bimodule that is finitely generated and projective on one side, together with a map of corings over the same base ring, lead to the notion of a module-morphism, which extends the notion of a morphism of corings (over different base rings). A module-morphism of corings induces functors between the categories of comodules. These functors are termed pull-back and push-out functors, respectively, and thus relate categories of comodules of different corings. We study when the pull-back functor is fully faithful and when it is an equivalence. A generalised descent associated to a morphism of corings is introduced. We define a category of module-morphisms, and show that push-out functors are naturally isomorphic to each other if and only if the corresponding module-morphisms are mutually isomorphic. All these topics are studied within a unifying language of bicategories and the extensive use is made of interpretation of corings as comonads in the bicategory Bim of bimodules and module-morphisms as 1-cells in the associated bicategories of comonads in Bim.     

The Picard Group of Corings

We introduce and study the Picard group of a coring. We give an exact sequence relating the Picard group of a coring and its automorphisms generalizing the known exact sequences associated to an algebra and a coalgebra over a field. We also extend to corings the Aut–Pic property and we give some new corings satisfying this property.     

Corings over rings with local units

We show that the bicategory whose 0‐cells are corings over rings with local units is bi‐equivalent to the bicategory of comonads in (right) unital modules whose underlying functors are right exact and preserve direct sums. A base ring extension of a coring by an adjunction is introduced as well (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Galois theory for comatrix corings: Descent theory, Morita theory, Frobenius and separability properties

El Kaoutit and Gómez-Torrecillas introduced comatrix corings, generalizing Sweedler's canonical coring, and proved a new version of the Faithfully Flat Descent Theorem. They also introduced Galois corings as corings isomorphic to a comatrix coring. In this paper, we further investigate this theory. We prove a new version of the Joyal-Tierney Descent Theorem, and generalize the Galois Coring Structure Theorem. We associate a Morita context to a coring with a fixed comodule, and relate it to Galois-type properties of the coring. An affineness criterion is proved in the situation where the coring is coseparable. Further properties of the Morita context are studied in the situation where the coring is (co)Frobenius.

     

Morita contexts and Galois theory for weak Hopf comodulelike algebras

We investigate the Morita context and graded cases for weak group corings and derive some equivalent conditions for μ to be surjective. Furthermore, we develop Galois theory for weak group corings. As an application, we give Galois theory for comodulelike algebras over a weak Hopf group coalgebra.     

Co-Frobenius corings and adjoint functors

We study co-Frobenius and more generally quasi-co-Frobenius corings over arbitrary base rings and over PF base rings in particular. We generalize some results about co-Frobenius and quasi-co-Frobenius coalgebras to the case of non-commutative base rings and give several new characterizations for co-Frobenius and more generally quasi-co-Frobenius corings, some of them are new even in the coalgebra situation. We construct Morita contexts to study Frobenius properties of corings and a second kind of Morita contexts to study adjoint pairs. Comparing both Morita contexts, we obtain our main result that characterizes quasi-co-Frobenius corings in terms of a pair of adjoint functors (F,G) such that (G,F) is locally quasi-adjoint in a sense defined in this note.     

Corings with Decomposition and Semiperfect Corings

We give a characterization, in terms of Galois infinite comatrix corings, of the corings that decompose as a direct sum of left comodules which are finitely generated as left modules. Then we show that the associated rational functor is exact. This is the case of a right semiperfect coring which is locally projective and whose Galois comodule is a projective left unital module with superfluous radical.     

Comonads and Galois Corings

We investigate which aspects of recent developments on Galois corings and comodules admit a formulation in terms of comonads. The general theory is applied to the study of Galois comodules over corings over firm rings. Supported by the research project “Algebraic Methods in Non Commutative Geometry,” with financial support of the grant MTM2004-01406 from the DGICYT and FEDER.     

Comatrix Corings and Galois Comodules over Firm Rings

We construct comatrix corings on bimodules without finiteness conditions by using firm rings. This leads to the formulion of a notion of Galois coring which plays a key role in the statement of a Noncommutative Faithfully Flat Descent for comodules which generalizes previous versions. In particular, infinite comatrix corings fit in our general theory. Presented by A. Verschoren.     

Fundamental Constructions for Coalgebras, Corings, and Comodules

We study the various categories of corings, coalgebras, and comodules from a categorical perspective. Emphasis is given to the question which properties of these categories can be seen as instances of general categorical resp. algebraic results. However, we also obtain new results concerning the existence of limits and of factorizations of morphisms.
