Abstract

Let CC be a kk-coalgebra, where kk is a field. The category of pseudocompact left CC^*-modules is dual to both the category of discrete right CC^*-modules and to the category of left CC-comodules. We obtain this way two sides of a square of dualities. In this note we complete the square by introducing as fourth corner the category of pseudocompact right CC-contramodules. We use these dualities to extend a natural isomorphism of Takeuchi.
