Milnor–Moore theorem
In algebra, the Milnor–Moore theorem, introduced in (Milnor–Moore 1965), states: given a connected graded cocommutative Hopf algebra A over a field of characteristic zero with , the natural Hopf algebra homomorphism
from the universal enveloping algebra of the "graded" Lie algebra of primitive elements of A to A is an isomorphism. (The universal enveloping algebra of a graded Lie algebra L is the quotient of the tensor algebra of L by the two-sided ideal generated by elements xy-yx - (-1)|x||y|[x, y].)
In topology, the term usually refers to the corollary of the result explained above that for a simply connected space X, it holds true that compare,[1] theorem 21.5
This work may also be compared with that by E. Halpern [1958] listed below.
