Structure of coalgebra on $\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z$

74 Views Asked by At

Is it possible to give the structure of a $\mathbb{Z}$-coalgebra on $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$? If so, how would the comultiplication and counit be defined?

There is no $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra homomorphism $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z}$ (when $n>0$).
