We generalize the results on existence and uniqueness of integrals from compact groups and Hopf algebras in a pure (co)algebraic setting, and find a series of new results on (quasi)-co-Frobenius and semiperfect coalgebras. For a coalgebra $C$, we introduce the generalized space of integrals $\int_M=\Hom^C(C,M)$ associated to a right $C$-comodule $M$ and study connections between "uniqueness of integrals" $\dim(\int_M)\leq \dim(M)$ and "existence of integrals" $\dim(\int_M)\geq \dim(M)$ for all $M$ and representation theoretic properties of $C$: (quasi)-co-Frobenius, semiperfect. We show that a coalgebra is co-Frobenius if and only if existence and uniqueness of integrals holds for any finite dimensional $M$. We give the interpretation for $\int_M$ for the coalgebra of representative functions of a compact group - they will be "quantum"-invariant vector integrals. As applications, new proofs of well known characterizations of co-Frobenius coalgebras and Hopf algebras are obtained, as well as the uniqueness of integrals in Hopf algebras. We also give the consequences for the representation theory of infinite dimensional algebras. We give an extensive class of examples which show that the results of the paper are the best possible. These examples are then used to give all the previously unknown connections between the various important classes of coalgebras appearing in literature.
