On the structure of abelian Hopf algebras

Algebraic Topology 2024-07-03 v3 Rings and Algebras

Abstract

We study the structure of the category of graded, connected, countable-dimensional, commutative and cocommutative Hopf algebras over a perfect field kk of characteristic pp. Every pp-torsion object in this category is uniquely a direct sum of explicitly given indecomposables. This gives rise to a similar classification of not necessarily pp-torsion objects that are either free as commutative algebras or cofree as cocommutative coalgebras. We also completely classify those objects that are indecomposable modulo pp.

Corrected results, replacing the condition of countable dimension by pure-injectivity. Most proofs reworked or replaced
