The antipode of a Hopf star algebra #
A Hopf star algebra is a Hopf algebra A over a commutative star ring R with a compatible
star algebra structure (StarRing A, StarModule R A) whose comultiplication is a star map
(TauCeti.StarCoalgebra R A). In such an algebra the antipode is always bijective, with inverse
a ↦ S(a*)*:
S(S(a*)*) = a and S(S(a)*)* = a.
The first identity says that S ∘ T is the identity for T(a) = S(a*)*. Writing
Δ a = ∑ xᵢ ⊗ yᵢ, the star of the antipode law ∑ xᵢ* S(yᵢ*) = ε(a*) together with
ε(a*) = conj (ε a) gives ∑ T(yᵢ) xᵢ = ε(a). Applying the antimultiplicative S shows
that S ∘ T is a right convolution inverse of S, and id is a left convolution inverse of S,
so S ∘ T = id. The second identity is the first one conjugated by star.
No positivity is involved: these are the purely algebraic consequences of the axioms, used before any Haar state or completion is constructed.
