Rational Modules for Corings

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we lay the basis of the theory of rational modules of corings extending results on rational modules for coalgebras to the case of arbitrary ground rings. We apply these results mainly to categories of entwined modules (e.g. Doi-Koppinen modules, alternative Doi-Koppinen modules) generalizing results of Y. Doi, M. Koppinen and C. Menini et al. on the categries of Doi-Hopf moduels and categories of relative Hopf modules.


Let \(R\) denote an associative ring with unit. An \(R\)-coring \(C\) is a coalgebra in the monoidal category of \(R\)-bimodules. In analogy with the approach of \textit{D. E. Radford} in [J. Algebra 26, 512--535 (1973; Zbl 0272.16012)] for the case of coalgebras over a commutative field, one can expect a tight relationship between \(C\)-comodules and rational modules. Such a generalization of the theory is given in this paper. The interest of the results in the paper rests upon the fact that the notion of a comodule over a coring unifies group graded modules, Doi-Hopf modules, Yetter-Drinfeld modules, Long dimodules, or entwining modules, among other concepts (see the monograph [Frobenius and separable functors for generalized module categories and nonlinear equations (Lect. Notes Math. 1787, Springer) (2002; Zbl 1008.16036)] by \textit{S. Caenepeel}, \textit{G. Militaru} and \textit{S. Zhu} as a good source of information on these modules).
