The cotangent-dual model of the tangent Lie algebra #
For a commutative bialgebra H over R, the tangent space at the identity has two models:
counit-valued derivations of H, and the linear dual of the augmentation cotangent space
ker(ε) / ker(ε)². The existing linear equivalence between them transports the convolution
commutator to the cotangent-dual model. This file records the resulting Lie algebra structure and
packages the comparison as a Lie equivalence.
Main declarations #
Derivation.cotangentDualLieEquiv: the cotangent dual is canonically the tangent Lie algebra of counit-valued derivations.Derivation.tangentScalarExtensionLieEquiv: scalar extension of the cotangent-dual Lie algebra agrees with coefficient-valued tangent derivations.
