How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Hopf ideals and Hopf subalgebras

Definition

Let k be a field and let H=(H,m,u,Δ,ε,S) be a Hopf k-algebra as in Hopf algebras and antipodes, with S satisfying both convolution antipode equations. A subbialgebra of H is a k-subspace K⊆H equipped with a bialgebra structure as in Bialgebras and bialgebra maps for which the inclusion K↪H is a bialgebra map. A Hopf subalgebra is a subbialgebra K with S(K)⊆K. Under AC, meaning every family of nonempty sets has a choice function (The Axiom of Choice), the tensor-injection lemma Tensoring injections and the kernel of a tensor product of quotient maps over a field identifies K⊗K with its image in H⊗H; in that shorthand, the subbialgebra condition says exactly that K is a unital subalgebra, ΔH(K)⊆K⊗K, and the counit is restricted from H.

A Hopf ideal is a two-sided ideal in the sense of Left, right and two-sided ideals, I⊴H, satisfying εH(I)=0, S(I)⊆I, and the coideal condition from Subcoalgebras, coideals, and quotient coalgebras: ΔH(I)⊆im⁡(I⊗H→H⊗H)+im⁡(H⊗I→H⊗H). Under AC, the tensor-injection lemma identifies these tensor products with subspaces of H⊗H, giving the usual shorthand ΔH(I)⊆I⊗H+H⊗I. The two-sided ideal condition gives the unital quotient algebra H/I; εH(I)=0 makes its counit descend, and the remaining conditions are precisely those needed for the coproduct and antipode to descend. A subbialgebra is not called a Hopf subalgebra unless the antipode restricts to it.

Dependency tree · two levels

24 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
