Hopf algebras#

class sage.categories.hopf_algebras.HopfAlgebras(base, name=None)#

Bases: Category_over_base_ring

The category of Hopf algebras.

EXAMPLES:

sage: HopfAlgebras(QQ)
Category of Hopf algebras over Rational Field
sage: HopfAlgebras(QQ).super_categories()
[Category of bialgebras over Rational Field]

class DualCategory(base, name=None)#

Bases: Category_over_base_ring

The category of Hopf algebras constructed as dual of a Hopf algebra

class ParentMethods#: Bases: object

class ElementMethods#

Bases: object

antipode()#

Return the antipode of self

EXAMPLES:

sage: # needs sage.groups
sage: A = HopfAlgebrasWithBasis(QQ).example(); A
An example of Hopf algebra with basis: the group algebra of the
 Dihedral group of order 6 as a permutation group over Rational Field
sage: [a,b] = A.algebra_generators()
sage: a, a.antipode()
(B[(1,2,3)], B[(1,3,2)])
sage: b, b.antipode()
(B[(1,3)], B[(1,3)])

class Morphism#

Bases: Category

The category of Hopf algebra morphisms.

class ParentMethods#: Bases: object

class Realizations(category, *args)#

Bases: RealizationsCategory

class ParentMethods#

Bases: object

antipode_by_coercion(x)#

Returns the image of x by the antipode

This default implementation coerces to the default realization, computes the antipode there, and coerces the result back.

EXAMPLES:

sage: # needs sage.combinat sage.modules
sage: N = NonCommutativeSymmetricFunctions(QQ)
sage: R = N.ribbon()
sage: R.antipode_by_coercion.__module__
'sage.categories.hopf_algebras'
sage: R.antipode_by_coercion(R[1,3,1])
-R[2, 1, 2]

class Super(base_category)#

Bases: SuperModulesCategory

The category of super Hopf algebras.

Note

A super Hopf algebra is not simply a Hopf algebra with a \(\ZZ/2\ZZ\) grading due to the signed bialgebra compatibility conditions.

class ElementMethods#

Bases: object

antipode()#

Return the antipode of self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: A = SteenrodAlgebra(3)                                        # needs sage.combinat sage.modules
sage: a = A.an_element()                                            # needs sage.combinat sage.modules
sage: a, a.antipode()                                               # needs sage.combinat sage.modules
(2 Q_1 Q_3 P(2,1), Q_1 Q_3 P(2,1))

dual()#

Return the dual category.

EXAMPLES:

The category of super Hopf algebras over any field is self dual:

sage: C = HopfAlgebras(QQ).Super()
sage: C.dual()
Category of super Hopf algebras over Rational Field

class TensorProducts(category, *args)#

Bases: TensorProductsCategory

The category of Hopf algebras constructed by tensor product of Hopf algebras

class ElementMethods#: Bases: object

class ParentMethods#: Bases: object

sage: sorted(C.super_categories(), key=str)
[Category of Hopf algebras over Rational Field,
 Category of tensor products of algebras over Rational Field,
 Category of tensor products of coalgebras over Rational Field]

WithBasis#: alias of HopfAlgebrasWithBasis

dual()#

Return the dual category

EXAMPLES:

The category of Hopf algebras over any field is self dual:

sage: C = HopfAlgebras(QQ)
sage: C.dual()
Category of Hopf algebras over Rational Field
