Matrix coefficients of dual comodules #
For a finite projective right comodule M over a Hopf algebra, this file identifies the matrix
coefficients of Tau Ceti's explicit right dual with the antipode images of the coefficients of
M. The pointwise formula uses evaluation to turn m : M into a functional on the dual:
c_(Mᵛ)(ev_m, φ) = S(c_M(φ, m)).
Finite projectivity identifies every functional on Mᵛ with evaluation at some m, so the
coefficient sets satisfy CoeffSet(Mᵛ) = S '' CoeffSet(M). No inverse for the antipode is
needed. When the Hopf algebra is commutative, this becomes an equality of coefficient
subalgebras, and combining it with the product-comodule formula gives the coefficient algebra of
M × Mᵛ.

Evaluating against m gives a coefficient of the dual comodule equal to the antipode of
the original coefficient indexed by the same functional and vector.
The coefficients of the explicit dual comodule are exactly the antipode images of the coefficients of the original finite projective comodule.
For a commutative Hopf algebra, the coefficient subalgebra of the dual comodule is the image of the original coefficient subalgebra under the antipode algebra endomorphism.
The coefficient subalgebra of the product of a finite projective comodule and its dual is the supremum of the original coefficient subalgebra and its antipode image.
