Suppose that
is a Lie bialgebra. Let and let
Computation 1. The co-Poisson homomorphism condition gives us that
Computation 2. Now let us analyse the condition that is a co-Poisson map.
On the other hand this must also be equal to
Computation 3. The following fact will also be useful:
: Suppose that is a Lie bialgebra. We must show that there is a unique extension to a map
such that
-
,
-
,
-
is a Lie cobracket on .
Computation 1 shows that if satisfies 1) then
is completely determined by
,
,
,
and the multipliation in . Since the elements of generate (under multiplication) it follows that there is a unique map
such that for all and such that satisfies 1).
2) Let and let us assume that we know that
Consider the following
On the other hand we have that
Thus we need only show that
The computation
shows that
is a Poisson bracket. Dualizing this computation will show that
satisifies the appropriate condition if and
do.
3) It remains to show that is a Lie cobracket.
Since
is a Lie bracket on , the skew symmetry condition implies that of
.
Now assume that and that we know that
Since is cocommutative it follows that
Now it follows from computation 1 that
satisfies the skew-symmetry condition. We must check that satisfies the co-Jacobi identity. Let and let us assume that we know that
We need to show that
.
It follows from
that
Thus it is sufficient to show that satisfies the co-Jacobi identity. This follows (dually) from the fact that
satisfies the Jacobi identity.
: Suppose that is a co-Poisson Hopf algebra with the usual multiplication and comultiplication. We need to show two things:
-
-
, restricted to , satisfies the cocycle condition for a bialgebra.
1) First let us show that . Since
,
the co-Poisson homomorphism condition gives that
It follows that if
.
Now suppose that . Then
,
and computation 2 becomes
It follows that is a primitive element of and thus is an element of . The result follows by noting that
since
must satisfy the skew symmetry condition for a Lie algebra.
2) Suppose that . Then
and
.
It follows from computation 1 above that
So satisfies the -cocycle condition.
Thus
is a bialgebra.
