[For the entire collection see Zbl 0746.00076.] Let \(A\) be a finite dimensional algebra which is hereditary of type \(\Delta\). The degenerate Hall algebra \({\mathcal H}(A)_ 1\) of \(A\) is the free abelian group on the set of isomorphism classes of \(A\)-modules of finite length. The Grothendieck group \(K(A\text{-mod})\) of all \(A\)-modules of finite length modulo split exact sequences may be identified with the free abelian group on the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable \(A\)-modules of finite length, hence it is a subgroup of \({\mathcal H}(A)_ 1\). In the present paper, the author investigates the nature of the comultiplication of \({\mathcal H}(A)_ 1\) being viewed as a bialgebra. He proves that \({\mathcal H}(A)_ 1\) is a bialgebra, and the subgroup \(K(A\text{-mod})\) is a Lie subalgebra. As a \(\mathbb Q\)-bialgebra, \({\mathcal H}(A)_ 1\otimes\mathbb Q\) is isomorphic to the universal enveloping algebra of \(K(A\text{-mod})\otimes\mathbb Q\).
