A Lie Correspondence in the Setting of Hopf and Frobenius Algebras

In this paper we demonstrate that Hopf algebras and Frobenius algebras provide an appropriate setting for an analogue of the classical Lie correspondence. We introduce a compatibility structure between Hopf and Frobenius algebras called Hopf-Frobenius modules, and give constructions that can be applied to any such module, which produce corresponding Lie groups and Lie algebras. Further, we show that classical Lie algebras and Lie groups give rise to Hopf-Frobenius modules for which the corresponding Lie groups and Lie algebras produced by our construction are those of the ordinary Lie correspondence.
