Actions of cocommutative Hopf algebras

Abstract

Let HH be a cocommutative Hopf algebra acting on an algebra AA. Assuming the base field to be algebraically closed and the HH-action on AA to be integral, that is, it is given by a coaction of some Hopf subalgebra of the finite dual HH^\circ that is an integral domain, we stratify the prime spectrum \mboxSpecA\mbox{Spec}\, A in terms of the prime spectra of certain commutative algebras. For arbitrary HH-actions in characteristic 00, we show that the largest HH-stable ideal of AA that is contained in a given semiprime ideal of AA is semiprime as well.
