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.

Finite Hopf algebras have one-dimensional integral spaces and bijective antipode

Statement

Let H be a nonzero finite-dimensional Hopf algebra over a field k. Each of ∫Hℓ, ∫Hr, ∫H∗ℓ, and ∫H∗r is one-dimensional. The antipodes of H and H∗ are bijective; each sends the left-integral space isomorphically onto the right-integral space.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A nonzero finite-dimensional Hopf algebra H over a field k, its linear dual Hopf algebra H∗, and the evaluation pairing H∗×H→k.

[F1]

Left and right integrals and integral functionals: a left integral in a Hopf algebra K satisfies at=εK(a)t for all a∈K; the corresponding right-integral equation is ta=εK(a)t.

[F2]

The finite dual is a right regular Hopf module: for every finite-dimensional Hopf algebra K, K∗ is a right-right Hopf module whose coinvariants are ∫K∗ℓ, and the action is (f↼a)(x)=f(xSK(a)).

[F3]

The fundamental theorem of right-right Hopf modules: for a right-right Hopf module M, the action map Mco⁡K⊗K→M, m⊗a↦ma, is a vector-space isomorphism.

[F4]

The dual of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra is a Hopf algebra: the full dual of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra is a Hopf algebra, with antipode the transpose of the original antipode.

[F5]

Finite-dimensional algebra-coalgebra duality: for finite-dimensional H, evaluation H→H∗∗ is an algebra and coalgebra isomorphism; it preserves multiplication and counit, so it transports the left-integral equations.

[F6]

Uniqueness and anti-multiplicativity and anti-comultiplicativity of the antipode: S(ab)=S(b)S(a) and εS=ε; the same identities hold for the dual Hopf algebra.

[F7]

Rank-nullity: dim⁡FV=nullity⁡T+rank⁡T: for a linear endomorphism of a finite-dimensional vector space, injectivity implies surjectivity.

[F8]

The dual family of a finite basis is a basis of the dual space, with the same dimension: the dual of a finite basis is a basis, so dim⁡kH∗=dim⁡kH.

Proof

1.1givenF2F3F8algebra

Apply [F2] and [F3] to K=H. The action map ∫H∗ℓ⊗H→H∗ is an isomorphism, so (dim⁡∫H∗ℓ)(dim⁡H)=dim⁡H∗. Since 0<dim⁡H=dim⁡H∗ by [F8], division by this positive integer gives dim⁡∫H∗ℓ=1; in particular this integral space contains a nonzero λ.

Apply [F2]–[F3] to K=H∗, which is a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra by [F4]. Its Hopf-module isomorphism gives (dim⁡∫H∗∗ℓ)(dim⁡H∗)=dim⁡H∗∗; applying [F8] to H and H∗ gives dim⁡H∗∗=dim⁡H∗, so dim⁡∫H∗∗ℓ=1. Choose a nonzero μ∈∫H∗∗ℓ. If SH∗(f)=0, the action formula [F2] gives μ↼f=0; injectivity of the Hopf-module isomorphism forces μ⊗f=0. Since μ is a basis of the one-dimensional space, its dual basis functional takes μ to 1 by [F8], and applying that functional to the first tensor factor gives f=0. Thus SH∗ is injective and hence bijective by [F7]. The evaluation algebra and coalgebra isomorphism [F5] carries the left-integral equations between H and H∗∗, so dim⁡∫Hℓ=1.

If SH(h)=0, then (λ↼h)(x)=λ(xSH(h))=0 for every x, so the isomorphism in step 1.1 sends λ⊗h to zero. Its injectivity gives λ⊗h=0. Since λ is a basis of the one-dimensional space ∫H∗ℓ, its dual basis functional q satisfies q(λ)=1 by [F8]; applying q⊗idH yields h=0. Thus SH is injective, and [F7] makes it bijective.

For either K=H or K=H∗, bijectivity of SK and anti-multiplicativity show that SK sends left integrals to right integrals: for t∈∫Kℓ and a∈K, apply SK to SK−1(a)t=εK(a)t and use εKSK−1=εK to obtain SK(t)a=εK(a)SK(t). Conversely, for r∈∫Kr, applying SK to rSK−1(a)=εK(a)r gives aSK(r)=εK(a)SK(r). The first inclusion makes the right-integral space nonzero and at least one-dimensional; the second inclusion and injectivity make its dimension at most the one-dimensional left-integral space. Hence it is one-dimensional and SK(∫Kℓ)=∫Kr.
