TY - JOUR A1 - Nassau, Christian T1 - On the structure of P(n)*P(n) for p=2 T2 - Transactions of the American Mathematical Society N2 - We show that P(n)*(P(n)) for p = 2 with its geometrically induced structure maps is not an Hopf algebroid because neither the augmentation Epsilon nor the coproduct Delta are multiplicative. As a consequence the algebra structure of P(n)*(P(n)) is slightly different from what was supposed to be the case. We give formulas for Epsilon(xy) and Delta(xy) and show that the inversion of the formal group of P(n) is induced by an antimultiplicative involution Xi : P(n) -> P(n). Some consequences for multiplicative and antimultiplicative automorphisms of K(n) for p = 2 are also discussed.
