Subcoalgebras and endomorphisms of free Hopf algebras
Abstract
For a matrix coalgebra C over some field, we determine all small subcoalgebras of the free Hopf algebra on C, the free Hopf algebra with a bjective antipode on C, and the free Hopf algebra with antipode S satisfying S2d= id on C for some fixed d. We use this information to find the endomorphisms of these free Hopf algebras, and to determine the centers of the categories of Hopf algebras, Hopf algebras with bijective antipode, and Hopf algebras with antipode of order dividing 2d.
