The Kostant form as a Hopf algebra over the integers #
The comultiplication, counit, and antipode of a rational universal enveloping algebra preserve
its Kostant integral form. This file assembles those three restrictions into a genuine
HopfAlgebra ℤ instance on the form. In particular, all coalgebra and antipode identities hold
integrally; they are not merely identities after extending scalars to ℚ.
The proof reflects each identity into the rational universal enveloping algebra, where it is one
of the standard Hopf algebra laws. For coassociativity this requires an injective map from the
integral triple tensor product into the rational triple tensor product. Its injectivity follows
from flatness over ℤ: the Kostant form is torsion-free because it is a subring of a rational
algebra, and tensor products of flat modules are flat.

The module structure on the tensor square of the Kostant form definitionally aligned with its algebra structure; both canonical instances have the same action, but iterated tensor maps must use one consistently.
