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.
Commutative Hopf algebras over a field
Definition
Let be a field (Field). A commutative Hopf algebra over is a commutative unital -algebra (Algebras over a commutative ring, central structure maps, and algebra homomorphisms, Commutative ring) together with -algebra homomorphisms (Ring homomorphism: additive, multiplicative, and required to send to ) called the comultiplication, the counit and the antipode, such that, with the multiplication of , with the unit of , and with the canonical identifications , the following identities hold.
- (coassociativity).
- (counit identities).
- (antipode identities).
Here is the tensor product of with itself over (The tensor product from the additive group underlying the free -module on , elementary tensors, and finite tensor sums), whose elements are finite sums ; it carries the -algebra structure making it the coproduct of with itself among commutative -algebras, so that a -algebra homomorphism out of is exactly a pair of -algebra homomorphisms out of (Universal mapping property of the tensor product of commutative algebras).
A morphism of commutative Hopf algebras is a -algebra homomorphism with , and ; morphisms are required to preserve all three structure maps, not only the comultiplication.
The Hopf algebra is finitely generated if is a finitely generated -algebra (Subalgebra generated by a subset, algebras of finite type, and module-finite algebras). Neither reducedness, nor smoothness, nor finite generation is imposed by the definition, and is an arbitrary field.
