Hopf algebras occur naturally in algebraic topology, where they originated and are related to the H-space concept, in group scheme theory, and in numerous other places, making them probably the most familiar type of bialgebra.
Hopf algebras are also studied in their own right, with much work on specific classes of examples on the one hand and classification problems on the other.
Graded Hopf algebras are often used in algebraic topology: they are the natural algebraic structure of the totality of all homology or cohomology groups of a space.

 Non-commutative Hopf algebra of formal diffeomorphisms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
This paper deals with two Hopf algebras which are the non-commutative analogues of two different groups of formal power series.
Invertible series with non-commutative coefficients still form a group, and we interpret the corresponding new non-commutative Hopf algebra as an alternative to the natural Hopf algebra given by the co-ordinate ring of the group, which has the advantage of being functorial in the algebra of coefficients.
Finally, we show how the non-commutative Hopf algebras of formal series are related to some renormalization Hopf algebras, which are combinatorial Hopf algebras motivated by the renormalization procedure in quantum field theory, and to the renormalization functor given by the double tensor algebra on a bi-algebra.

 On the Braiding on a Hopf Algebra in a Braided Category (ResearchIndex)
By definition, a bialgebra H in a braided monoidal category (C; ø) is an algebra and coalgebra whose multiplication and comultiplication (and unit and counit) are compatible; the compatibility condition involves the braiding ø.
The present paper is based upon the following simple observation: If H is a Hopf algebra, that is, if an antipode exists, then the compatibility condition of a bialgebra can be solved for the braiding.

 Dear Stefan:
This Hopf algebra is one of particular importance among several ``combinatorial Hopf algebras'' that have arisen recently in different contexts, like Gessel's Hopf algebra of quasi-symmetric functions and Loday-Ronco's Hopf algebra of planar binary trees.
The Hopf algebras we consider are all abelian extensions; as a special case, they include the Drinfeld double of a group algebra.
In fact this Hopf algebra is the degree zero part of a larger one which is based on all the planar trees.

 Álgebras de Hopf
The quantum coordinate algebra Fq (G) is a deformation of the algebra F(G) of ``polynomial functions'' on a complex semisimple group G. More precisely, the dual of the quantum enveloping algebra Uq(g) (the ``simply connected'' version) corresponding to the complex semisimple Lie algebra g, has a natural algebra structure.
The algebra Fq(G) is defined as the subalgebra of the dual of Uq(g) generated by the matrix coefficients corresponding to finite dimensional representations of Uq(g).
If the given algebra is finitely generated then every differential left ideal is generated by constants, a non-commutative Taylor series decomposition formula is valid, and the category of locally nilpotent modules over the operator algebra is semisimple with the only simple object that is isomorphic to the optimal algebra as a module.

The Andre-Quillen homology of a simplicial commutative algebra is a total d* *erived functor of abelianization in the category of commutative algebras, and, as such* *, relies on the existence of free commutative algebras.
To compute the Andre-Quillen homol* *ogy of a bicommutative Hopf algebra, therefore, one may be forced to leave the categor* *y - the free commutative algebra on a coalgebra is not necessarily a Hopf algebra.

In abstract algebra, a Hopf algebra is a bialgebra H over a field K together with a K-linear map
The most exciting Hopf algebras however are certain "deformations" or "quantizationss" of those from example 3 and 4 which are neither commutative nor co-commutative.
These Hopf algebras are often called quantum groups, a term that is only loosely defined.

 Introduction to "Taming Wild Extensions" of Lindsay N. Childs
Galois module theory is the branch of algebraic number theory which studies rings of integers of Galois extensions of number fields as modules over the integral group ring of the Galois group.
Their classification transforms the problem of classifying Hopf Galois structures on a Galois extension into a purely group-theoretic problem involving the Galois group G, which, however, is often unmanageable.
Chapter 12 then presents the Kummer theory of formal groups, from {CM94}, {Mo94}, {Mo96}, which shows that if a Hopf algebra H is constructed as in Chapter 11, then the principal homogeneous spaces for H, or equivalently, the Galois extensions for H^*, are easily and explicitly described.

If V is a rep of a Hopf algebra H, then X in V is said to be invariant under H if for all A in H, A[X]=ε(A)X. Note that the subset of all invariant elements of V forms a subrep of V. This article describes a vector space rep of a Hopf algebra.

Combinatorial Hopf Algebras: A Combinatorial Hopf algebra [CH-algebra] is a pair (H, z) where H is a graded connected Hopf algebra over a field F, and z: H -> F is a multiplicative functional.

 CJM - The Representation Ring and the Centre of a Hopf Algebra
When $H$ is a finite dimensional, semisimple, almost cocommutative Hopf algebra, we examine a table of characters which extends the notion of the character table for a finite group.
We give a basis of the centre of $H$ which generalizes the conjugacy class sums of a finite group, and express the class equation of $H$ in terms of this basis.
We show that the representation ring and the centre of $H$ are dual character algebras (or signed hypergroups).

 Entropic Hopf algebras and models of non-commutative logic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
It has recently been demonstrated that Hopf algebras provide an excellent framework for modeling a number of variants of multiplicative linear logic, such as commutative, braided and cyclic.
We extend these ideas to the entropic setting by developing a new type of Hopf algebra, which we call entropic Hopf algebras.
We show that the category of modules over an entropic Hopf algebra is an entropic category (possibly after application of the Chu construction).

We introduce a new differential on these bonsai Hopf algebras, which is inspired by the tree differential.
The cohomologies of these are computed here, and the relationship of this differential with the appending operation * of Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebras is investigated.

Abstract: We give a different proof for a structure theorem of Hausser and Nill on Hopf modules over quasi-Hopf algebras.
We extend the structure theorem to a classification of two-sided two-cosided Hopf modules by Yetter-Drinfeld modules, which can be defined in two rather different manners for the quasi-Hopf case.
The category equivalence between Hopf modules and Yetter-Drinfeld modules leads to a new construction of the Drinfeld double of a quasi-Hopf algebra, as proposed by Majid and constructed by Hausser and Nill.
