Points and tangent vectors acting on a tensor product of comodules #
The tensor product M ⊗ N of two comodules over a bialgebra H carries the diagonal coaction
m ⊗ n ↦ m₀ ⊗ n₀ ⊗ m₁ n₁ (TauCeti.Comodule.tensor). This file computes the two actions that a
comodule representation induces on it:
- a base-valued point
gofHacts diagonally,g • (m ⊗ n) = g • m ⊗ g • n, becausegis multiplicative; - a tangent vector
dat the identity acts by the Leibniz rule,d • (m ⊗ n) = d • m ⊗ n + m ⊗ d • n, becausedis a derivation into the counit coefficients.
The first is the statement that the comodule tensor product integrates the tensor product of group representations; the second, that differentiating a representation turns tensor products of representations of the group into tensor products of representations of its Lie algebra.

A point acts diagonally on a tensor product of comodules: a base-valued point g of the
Hopf algebra H acts on the diagonal tensor product comodule V ⊗ W by
g • (v ⊗ w) = g • v ⊗ g • w.

acts on the diagonal tensor product comodule V ⊗ W by d • (v ⊗ w) = d • v ⊗ w + v ⊗ d • w.
The Leibniz rule for a tensor product of comodules, as an identity of linear maps:
a tangent vector acts on V ⊗ W by d ⊗ 1 + 1 ⊗ d.
