Group corings. (Q2426128)

The authors define group corings by extending the concept of a group coalgebra, defined by Turaev, to the case where the base ring is not necessarily commutative. If \(G\) is a group and \(\mathcal C\) is a \(G\)-group coring, two concepts of \(\mathcal C\)-comodules are defined. Functors between categories of such comodules are studied, and the relationship to graded modules over graded rings is investigated. Galois group corings are defined and a structure result for \(G\)-comodules over a Galois group coring is proved. Morita contexts associated to a group coring are studied. The results are applied to group corings associated to a comodule algebra over a Hopf group coalgebra.
