Group Hopf Algebra
In mathematics, the group Hopf algebra of a given group is a certain construct related to the symmetries of group actions. Deformations of group Hopf algebras are foundational in the theory of quantum groups. Definition Let ''G'' be a group and ''k'' a field. The ''group Hopf algebra'' of ''G'' over ''k'', denoted ''kG'' (or ''k'' 'G'', is as a set (and a vector space) the free vector space on ''G'' over ''k''. As an algebra, its product is defined by linear extension of the group composition in ''G'', with multiplicative unit the identity in ''G''; this product is also known as convolution. Note that while the group algebra of a ''finite'' group can be identified with the space of functions on the group, for an infinite group these are different. The group algebra, consisting of ''finite'' sums, corresponds to functions on the group that vanish for cofinitely many points; topologically (using the discrete topology), these correspond to functions which are non-zero only on a fini ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Crossed Product
In mathematics, and more specifically in the theory of von Neumann algebras, a crossed product is a basic method of constructing a new von Neumann algebra from a von Neumann algebra acted on by a group. It is related to the semidirect product construction for groups. (Roughly speaking, ''crossed product'' is the expected structure for a group ring of a semidirect product group. Therefore crossed products have a ring theory aspect also. This article concentrates on an important case, where they appear in functional analysis.) Motivation Recall that if we have two finite groups G and ''N'' with an action of ''G'' on ''N'' we can form the semidirect product N \rtimes G. This contains ''N'' as a normal subgroup, and the action of ''G'' on ''N'' is given by conjugation in the semidirect product. We can replace ''N'' by its complex group algebra ''C'' 'N'' and again form a product C \rtimes G in a similar way; this algebra is a sum of subspaces ''gC'' 'N''as ''g'' runs through ...

Journal Für Die Reine Und Angewandte Mathematik
''Crelle's Journal'', or just ''Crelle'', is the common name for a mathematics journal, the ''Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik'' (in English: ''Journal for Pure and Applied Mathematics''). History The journal was founded by August Leopold Crelle (Berlin) in 1826 and edited by him until his death in 1855. It was one of the first major mathematical journals that was not a proceedings of an academy. It has published many notable papers, including works of Niels Henrik Abel, Georg Cantor, Gotthold Eisenstein, Carl Friedrich Gauss and Otto Hesse. It was edited by Carl Wilhelm Borchardt from 1856 to 1880, during which time it was known as ''Borchardt's Journal''. The current editor-in-chief is Rainer Weissauer (Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg) Past editors * 1826–1856 August Leopold Crelle * 1856–1880 Carl Wilhelm Borchardt * 1881–1888 Leopold Kronecker, Karl Weierstrass * 1889–1892 Leopold Kronecker * 1892–1902 Lazarus Fuchs * 1903–1928 Kurt Hens ...

Sweedler Notation
In mathematics, coalgebras or cogebras are structures that are dual (category theory), dual (in the category theory, category-theoretic sense of reversing Category theory#Morphisms, arrows) to unital algebra, unital associative algebras. The axioms of unital associative algebras can be formulated in terms of commutative diagrams. Turning all arrows around, one obtains the axioms of coalgebras. Every coalgebra, by (vector space) Dual space, duality, gives rise to an algebra, but not in general the other way. In #Finite dimensions, finite dimensions, this duality goes in both directions (#Finite dimensions, see below). Coalgebras occur naturally in a number of contexts (for example, representation theory, universal enveloping algebras and group schemes). There are also F-coalgebras, with important applications in computer science. Informal discussion One frequently recurring example of coalgebras occurs in representation theory, and in particular, in the representation theory of th ...
