Re: Ulmer preprint

[Anders Kock <kock@imf.au.dk>]

I found the Ulmer manuscript "Bialgebras in locally presentable categories"  in my archives. It is a University of Wuppertal preprint, and it is rather  long, say 100 pages.
I am in the process of scanning it, and can, when finished, send copies on request.

In the preface, Ulmer says that "The incentive to study sub-bialgebras "generated" by a subobject resulted from a problem which was given to us (= a  group of students) in Heidelberg in 1964 by A. Dold."

This may shed some light on the genealogy question.

Perhaps the preprint could be made more widely available if found?

Note that Ulmer's mathematics genealogy page is sorely incomplete!

His Dr phil. supervisor is 'unknown', but perhaps not to readers of this list.
