The inverse of a bijective antipode #

For a Hopf algebra with explicitly supplied bijective antipode, inverseAntipode is its inverse linear map. It reverses multiplication, and its two inverse laws allow the contragredient actions through S and S⁻¹ to cancel on mixed double duals. No commutativity or star structure is assumed.

Bijectivity holds in particular when S² is an inner automorphism a ↦ g a g⁻¹ (antipode_bijective_of_antipode_antipode), as for the group-like element K⁻¹ of U_q(sl₂).

The construction uses Mathlib's LinearEquiv.ofBijective. See C. Kassel, Quantum Groups, Chapter III, for inverse-antipode duality.

If the square of the antipode is the inner automorphism a ↦ g a g⁻¹ of a unit g, then the antipode is bijective.

    The inverse antipode preserves the unit.

    The inverse antipode reverses multiplication.

    @[simp]

    The inverse antipode fixes the scalar algebra map.

    @[simp]

    The inverse antipode cancels the first leg of the reversed coproduct. This is the antipode identity used for evaluation of an inverse-antipode contragredient.
