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.
The finite dual is a right regular Hopf module
Statement
Let be a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra over a field . For and , define
For , define by the requirement
This requirement determines a unique tensor. With this right action and right coaction, is a right-right Hopf module. Its coinvariants are exactly the left integral functionals: .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A finite-dimensional Hopf algebra over ; its dual Hopf algebra ; ; and , .
Left and right integrals and integral functionals: left integral functionals satisfy for every , with convolution dual to .
Right-right Hopf modules and coinvariants: a right-right Hopf module has a right -action and right -coaction satisfying ; its coinvariants satisfy .
Finite tensor duality and basis-independent coevaluation: for finite-dimensional spaces, tensor duality identifies bilinear pairings with unique tensors, and the finite dual basis separates tensors.
Uniqueness and anti-multiplicativity and anti-comultiplicativity of the antipode: the antipode satisfies , , and . The antipode equations in Hopf algebras and antipodes give .
The dual of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra is a Hopf algebra: since is finite-dimensional, its full linear dual has the transposed Hopf structure, with convolution product and counit .
Proof
Fix a basis of with dual basis . The tensor has the required pairing, since . Uniqueness follows from finite tensor separation [F3]. The assignment is linear because its defining pairing is linear in and the representing tensor is unique.
The formula defines a right action: by anti-multiplicativity [F4], and . Pair each side of with . The left side gives . The right side gives , because is dual to multiplication, by anti-comultiplicativity [F4], and . The pairings agree; finite tensor separation [F3] proves compatibility.
The counit identity follows by evaluating against : . For coassociativity, pair both and with . The first pairing is by the defining equation twice; the second is . Convolution is associative because is coassociative, so the pairings agree for all , and finite tensor separation [F3] gives equality of the tensors.
The coaction coinvariant condition is equivalent, after pairing with every , to . Since , this is exactly the definition of a left integral functional in [F1]; hence .
