Abstract: In this learning seminar, I will give an introduction to Hopf algebras, including examples and relevant definitions, such as those for coalgebra and bialgebra. In addition, I will discuss dual Hopf algebra structures on the tensor algebra of a vector space that arise naturally in connection with the combinatorics of free Lie algebras.
