On quadratic coalgebras, duality and the universal Steenrod algebra

Algebraic Topology 2011-01-04 v1

Abstract

The notion of quadratic self-duality for coalgebras is developed with applications to algebraic structures which arise naturally in algebraic topology, related to the universal Steenrod algebra via an appropriate form of duality. This explains and unifies results of Lomonaco and Singer.
