Hopf-kernel characterization of confinement walls

Let T\mathcal{T} be the residual symmetry algebra, let U\mathcal{U} be the non-confined algebra, and let Γ:TU\Gamma:\mathcal{T}\to\mathcal{U} be the Hopf map. Define the left and right Hopf kernels by

LKer(Γ):={tT(Γid)Δ(t)=1Ut},{\rm LKer}(\Gamma):=\{t\in\mathcal{T}\mid(\Gamma\otimes {\rm id})\circ\Delta(t)=1_{\mathcal{U}}\otimes t\},

and

RKer(Γ):={tT(idΓ)Δ(t)=t1U}.{\rm RKer}(\Gamma):=\{t\in\mathcal{T}\mid({\rm id}\otimes\Gamma)\circ\Delta(t)=t\otimes 1_{\mathcal{U}}\}.

For a T\mathcal{T}-irrep ΩβB\Omega^{B}_{\beta}, the Hopf-kernel wall characterization. The wall corresponding to ΩβB\Omega^{B}_{\beta} is characterized by the restriction of ΩβB\Omega^{B}_{\beta} to either LKer(Γ){\rm LKer}(\Gamma) or RKer(Γ){\rm RKer}(\Gamma).

These two candidate subalgebras are respectively right and left coideal subalgebras, and their representations correspond under the antipode; under the assumed semisimplicity they are isomorphic. The statement identifies the wall with the corresponding restricted representation, but the supplied text does not establish it as a theorem.
