Warning

This is only correct in certain cases (finite dimension, …). See trac ticket #15647.

class SubcategoryMethods#

Bases: object

Return the full subcategory of the cocommutative objects of self.

A coalgebra \(C\) is said to be cocommutative if

\[\Delta(c) = \sum_{(c)} c_{(1)} \otimes c_{(2)} = \sum_{(c)} c_{(2)} \otimes c_{(1)}\]

in Sweedler’s notation for all \(c \in C\).

EXAMPLES:

sage: C1 = Coalgebras(ZZ).Cocommutative().WithBasis(); C1
Category of cocommutative coalgebras with basis over Integer Ring
sage: C2 = Coalgebras(ZZ).WithBasis().Cocommutative()
sage: C1 is C2
True

[Category of graded coalgebras over Integer Ring]
sage: Coalgebras(ZZ).Super().super_categories()
[Category of graded coalgebras over Integer Ring,

Compare this with the situation for bialgebras:

sage: Bialgebras(ZZ).Super().extra_super_categories()
[]
sage: Bialgebras(ZZ).Super().super_categories()
[Category of super algebras over Integer Ring,
 Category of super coalgebras over Integer Ring]

The category of bialgebras does not occur in these results, since super bialgebras are not bialgebras.
