fundamental isomorphism theorem for coalgebras
Let and be coalgebras. Recall, that if is a subcoalgebra, then is a coalgebra. On the other hand, if is a coideal, then there is a canonical coalgebra structure on (please, see this entry (http://planetmath.org/SubcoalgebrasAndCoideals) for more details).
Theorem. If is a coalgebra homomorphism, then is a coideal, is a subcoalgebra and a mapping defined by is a well defined coalgebra isomorphism.
