The tangent Lie algebra of a product #
The tensor product of two commutative bialgebras is the coordinate algebra of the direct product of the represented affine monoid schemes. Restricting a counit-valued derivation along the two canonical inclusions gives its two tangent components. Conversely, the canonical projections, obtained by applying the counit to the other tensor factor, extend a pair of tangent vectors back to the product. These constructions are inverse and preserve the convolution Lie bracket.
Thus the tangent Lie algebra of a direct product is canonically the product of the tangent Lie algebras of its factors. The equivalence is valid for coefficient-valued tangent vectors over an arbitrary commutative coefficient algebra; it needs no antipode, finiteness, or field hypothesis.

Instances For
The product tangent equivalence restricts a derivation to the two tensor factors.
The inverse product tangent equivalence extends both components along the counit projections and adds them.
On a pure tensor, the tangent vector assembled from d is the Leibniz sum
ε(h₂) • d.1 h₁ + ε(h₁) • d.2 h₂.
Finiteness of the two factor tangent modules implies finiteness of the tensor-product tangent module.
The dimension of the tangent Lie algebra of a product is the sum of the dimensions of the tangent Lie algebras of its factors.
