   Format: MarkdownWith Zoran I am working on entries related to monadic descent. While that is underway, I have added to * [[Sweedler coring]] a section * <a href="http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Sweedler+coring#GeomInterpretationOfCoring">geometric interpretation of the coring</a> and * <a href="http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Sweedler+coring#GeomInterpretationOfDescent">geometric interpretation of comodule descent</a>

   With Zoran I am working on entries related to monadic descent. While that is underway, I have added to

   • Sweedler coring

   a section

   • geometric interpretation of the coring

   and

   • geometric interpretation of comodule descent

   Format: MarkdownItexSweedler is a major author on Hopf algebras, authoring an old book in the subject, and a professor emeritus at Cornell. His work on noncommuytative extensions dealing with Sweedler coring and related work of his colleague from Cornell Chase on noncommutative Galois, predating Hopf-Galois theory is from 1970s. It is a pity that while one can make the descent for modules for noncommutative extensions, the descent for algebras (hence for affine schemes, as in SGA) works only in commutative case. While you are working on monadic and comonadic descent you may be interested in related recent pages [[zoranskoda:compatible idempotent monads]], [[zoranskoda:domain globalization of functors]] and [[zoranskoda:global Hopf-Galois extension]] which I am going to expand soon. One needs flatness of $G$ in the page on global Hopf-Gaois extension (this page was a sketch before the meeting with Gabi where the things were cleared and which is not reflected in writing yet).

Okay, thanks. I have copied that into the References-section at [[Sweedler coring]] > While you are working on monadic and comonadic descent you may be interested in related recent pages I am not working on these entries at the moment. But if you link to your new entries from where it is relevant, then I will find them once I do!
