The kernel criterion for a quotient by normal coinvariants #
Let I be a normal Hopf ideal of a commutative Hopf algebra H over a field, let
B = H^{co H/I} be its algebra of coinvariants, and let J be the scheme-theoretic kernel of
the inclusion B → H. There are two natural maps out of H ⊗[B] H:
- the kernel-pair equivalence identifies it with
H ⊗ H/J; - the canonical map of the proposed quotient has target
H ⊗ H/I.
This file proves that the second map is the first followed by the quotient H/J → H/I.
Consequently the canonical map is injective exactly when J = I. Since the canonical map is
always surjective, this is also exactly when it is an isomorphism. Thus the missing equality in
the Hopf ideal--Hopf subalgebra correspondence is reduced to the injectivity part of the usual
canonical-map criterion.

Instances For
The tensor quotient is the tensor product of the identity with the quotient-to-quotient map.
The tensor quotient acts as the identity on the ambient factor and by the quotient-to-quotient map on the kernel factor.

On pure tensors, the specialized kernel-pair equivalence multiplies the first factor by the comultiplication of the second and projects its right leg to the kernel coordinates.
The canonical map for I factors as the kernel-pair equivalence of the coinvariant
projection, followed by the quotient from its scheme-theoretic kernel to I.
The quotient from the scheme-theoretic kernel of the coinvariant projection to I is

Kernel criterion for normal coinvariants. The canonical map
H ⊗[H^{co H/I}] H → H ⊗ H/I is injective exactly when the scheme-theoretic kernel
of the corresponding quotient projection is the original normal subgroup I.
The canonical map over normal coinvariants is bijective exactly when the proposed subgroup is the scheme-theoretic kernel of the quotient projection. Surjectivity holds for every Hopf ideal, so only the injectivity criterion contributes to this equivalence.
