Abstract

We study cocommutative Hopf dialgebras through generalized digroups and rack combinatorics. We prove that the rack functor obtained from the adjoint rack bialgebra factorizes through the digroup of group-like elements. More precisely, for every cocommutative Hopf dialgebra AA, the rack of set-like elements of its adjoint rack bialgebra is naturally isomorphic to the conjugation rack of the digroup \Glike(A)\Glike(A). For finite generalized digroups DG×ED\simeq G\times E, with GG acting on the halo EE, we derive explicit formulas for the conjugation rack, its inner group, left-translation cycle index, fixed-point polynomial, orbit count and subrack structure. Finally, we construct the digroup algebra K[D]K[D], prove that it is a cocommutative Hopf dialgebra, and show that \Glike(K[D])=D\.
