Hopf duals, algebraic groups, and Jordan pairs

The Hom functor is used to construct various algebras and coalgebras, including the continuous dual of a Hopf algebra with a residually finitely generated projective linear topology. The dual is used to construct a k-group scheme. The results are applied to the study of algebraic groups associated with Jordan pairs.
