Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

In the pure algebraix setting, it is known that there exists a non-unital Hopf algebra which does not admit an integral. The project we are proposing is to extend this example to the case of Hopf C*-algebra. The main difficulty is to deal with the setting of norm topology.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

The student will read the pertinent literature that exists on Hopf algebras as well as Hopf C*-algebras. The main task is to understand the setting of an integral in the Hopf C*-algebra setting. Then we will try to adopt the example of pure Hopf algebra without an integral to the C*-algebra setting. 

How will you support learners in completing the project?

I will meet the student every week for one or two sessions. Also communication via email will be used. I will help with the introduction to Hopf algebras, integrals, Hppf C*-algebras. Relevant textbooks and papers will be made available.
