0:00:06  Announcements: 1. Dror is sick today 2.next class should be FUN
0:01:20  Locating where we are: towards the end of the first pass on low algebra, will soon declare the goal for the high algebra part.
0:03:17  Facts about $U(\mathcal{G})$:

1. $U(\mathcal{G})$ is an (non-communicative) algebra

2. $U(\mathcal{G})$ is a co-algebra

3. $U(\mathcal{G}_1 \oplus \mathcal{G}_2) \cong U(\mathcal{G}_1) \otimes U(\mathcal{G}_2)$

4. $U(\mathcal{G}) \cong S(\mathcal{G})$ as co-algebras and $\mathcal{G}$ modules

0:13:01  Relate back to $\mathcal{A}(|)$:

Fact 1: $\mathcal{A}(|)$ is an algebra with multiplication being composing two diagrams

Note that this algebra is commutative

0:17:29  $\mathcal{T}_\mathcal{G}$ is not onto and maps $\mathcal{A}(|)$ into the invariant part of $U(\mathcal{G})$.
0:27:10  Generalizing $\mathcal{T}_\mathcal{G}$ to diagrams with multiple baselines
0:31:23  When $n>1$, $\mathcal{A}(|_n)$ is a non-commutative algebra.
0:35:09  When $n>1$, invariant part of $U(\mathcal{G})^{\otimes n}$ is strictly larger than $Z(U(\mathcal{G})^{\otimes n})$
0:36:40  Fact 2: $\mathcal{A}(|)$ as a co-algebra (Define $\Delta: \mathcal{A}(|) \rightarrow \mathcal{A}(|_2)$)
0:41:59  Fact 3: Given $\mathcal{G}_1, \ \mathcal{G}_2, \ \ \mathcal{T}_{\mathcal{G}_1} \otimes \mathcal{T}_{\mathcal{G}_2} \circ \Box = \mathcal{T}_{\mathcal{G}_1 \oplus \mathcal{G}_2}$ under the canonical isomorphism.
0:44:56  Fact 4 (PBW): Diagrams/STU is isomorphic to diagrams with baseline erased / AS, IHX
