A primer of Hopf algebras
... 1.1. After the pioneer work of Connes and Kreimer1 , Hopf algebras have become an established tool in perturbative quantum field theory. The notion of Hopf algebra emerged slowly from the work of the topologists in the 1940’s dealing with the cohomology of compact Lie groups and their homogeneous sp ...
