Abstract

We investigate cases where the finite dual coalgebra of a twisted tensor product of two algebras is a cotwisted tensor product of their respective finite dual coalgebras. This is achieved by interpreting the finite dual as a topological dual; in order to prove this, we show that the continuous dual is a strong monoidal functor on linearly topologized vector spaces whose open subspaces have finite codimension. We describe a sufficient condition for the result on finite dual coalgebras to be applied, and we this condition to particular constructions including Ore extensions, smash product algebras, and crossed product bialgebras.
