+# The Hopf algebra structure on polynomials (additive group scheme 𝔾ₐ)
+
+The polynomial ring `R[X]` carries a natural Hopf algebra structure encoding the
+additive group scheme `𝔾ₐ`:
+* comultiplication: `Δ(X) = X ⊗ 1 + 1 ⊗ X` (encoding `p(x) ↦ p(x + x')`)
+* counit: `ε(p) = p(0)` (evaluation at zero)
+* antipode: `S(X) = -X` (requires `CommRing R`)
+
+This is dual to the multiplicative group scheme `𝔾ₘ` formalized via Laurent polynomials
+in `Mathlib.RingTheory.HopfAlgebra.MonoidAlgebra`.
+
+## Main definitions
+
+* `Polynomial.instCoalgebraStruct`: the `R`-coalgebra structure data on `R[X]`.
+* `Polynomial.instCoalgebra`: the `R`-coalgebra instance on `R[X]` with additive
+  comultiplication.
+* `Polynomial.instBialgebra`: the `R`-bialgebra structure on `R[X]`.
+* `Polynomial.instHopfAlgebra`: the `R`-Hopf algebra structure on `R[X]` when `R` is a
+  commutative ring.
+
+## Implementation notes
+
+The coalgebra axioms are equalities of linear maps out of `R[X]`. Since comultiplication
+and counit are defined via `Polynomial.aeval`, each axiom reduces to checking on the
+generator `X`, exploiting the universal property of the polynomial ring.
