What is the dual Hopf algebra of T(V)?

I am reading "Geometric versus Non-Geometric Rough Paths" by Martin Hairer and David Kelly. I don't know much about Hopf algebras but $T(V)$ is the one example I'm comfortable with so far ...

Is the kernel of an action of a Hopf algebra on an algebra a biideal?

S.Dascalescu, C.Nastasescu and S.Raianu define the action of a Hopf algebra $H$ on an (associative) algebra $A$ as a map $H\times A\owns (h,a)\mapsto h\cdot a\in A$ which is an action of $H$ on $A$ ...

Tensor product of bialgebras in a braided monoidal category

Let $(\mathcal{C},\otimes,\mathbb{I},\alpha,\lambda,\rho,c)$ be a braided monoidal category. By this I mean a (not necessarily strict) monoidal category $(\mathcal{C},\otimes,\mathbb{I},\alpha,\lambda,...

Is the Drinfeld center of an abelian monoidal category still abelian?

I am interested in knowing if the category $^H_H\mathcal{YD}$ of left-left Yetter-Drinfeld modules over an infinite dimensional Hopf algebra $H$ is an abelian category or not. The answer is ...

Lie algebra of a compact Lie group

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a compact (real) Lie group. We know that the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of $\mathcal{G}$ is, by definition, the space of all left-invariant (smooth) vector fields over $\mathcal{G}...

Convolution in Hopf algebras

For each Hopf algebra $H$ its space ${\mathcal L}(H)$ of operators $A:H\to H$ is usually endowed with the operation of convolution by the identity $$ A*B = \mu \circ (A\otimes B)\circ \varDelta $$ ...

References on $\text{Rep}(H)$ is a braided tensor category

There is the statement: Let $H$ be a Hopf algebra, then $\text{Rep}(H)$ is a braided tensor category. Does anybody know some references on this? Is it covered in Kassel's 'Quantum Groups'?

Two Hopf algebras associated to a linear algebraic group

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over a field $k$, then there are two different Hopf algebras associated to $G$. First is just coordinate ring $k[G]$of $G$. This is a commutative Hopf algebra. But ...
