Quasitriangular Pointed Hopf Algebras Constructed by Ore Extensions

We study the quasitriangular structures for a family of pointed Hopf algebras which is big enough to include Taft's Hopf algebras H _n ², Radford's Hopf algebras H _N,n,q, and E(n). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Hopf algebras in our family to be quasitriangular. For the case when they are, we determine completely all the quasitriangular structures. Also, we determine the ribbon elements of the quasitriangular Hopf algebras and the quasi-ribbon elements of their Drinfel'd double.     

Graded Quantum Groups and Quasitriangular Hopf Group-Coalgebras

ABSTRACT

Starting from a Hopf algebra endowed with an action of a group π by Hopf automorphisms, we construct (by a “twisted” double method) a quasitriangular Hopf π-coalgebra. This method allows us to obtain non-trivial examples of quasitriangular Hopf π-coalgebras for any finite group π and for infinite groups π such as GL _n (𝕂). In particular, we define the graded quantum groups, which are Hopf π-coalgebras for π = ?[[h]] ^l and generalize the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum enveloping algebras.     

A Generalized Drinfeld Quantum Double Construction Based on Weak Hopf Algebras

Let B and H be weak Hopf algebras with bijective antipodes S _B and S _H , respectively. Based on a compatible weak Hopf dual pairing (B, H, σ), we construct a generalized Drinfeld quantum double 𝔻(B, H) which is a weak T-coalgebra over a twisted semi-direct square of groups. In particular, when B and H are finite dimensional and the above pairing map σ is nondegenerate, 𝔻(B, H) admits a nontrivial quasitriangular structure. Some explicit examples are given as an application of our theory.     

Maschke’s theorem for smash products of quasitriangular weak Hopf algebras

The paper is concerned with the semisimplicity of smash products of quasitriangular weak Hopf algebras. Let (H,R) be a finite dimensional quasitriangular weak Hopf algebra over a field k and A any semisimple and quantum commutative weak H-module algebra. Based on the work of Nikshych et al. (Topol. Appl. 127(1–2):91–123, 2003), we give Maschke’s theorem for smash products of quasitriangular weak Hopf algebras, stating that A#H is semisimple if and only if A is a projective left A#H-module, which extends the Theorem 3.2 given in Yang and Wang (Commun. Algebra 27(3):1165–1170, 1999).     

Self-dual hopf algebras

We introduce the notions of self-dual (graded) Hopf algebras and of structurally simple (graded) Hopf algebras. We prove that the self-dual Hopf algebras are structurally simple and provide a construction of self-dual Hopf algebras. Finally, we classify the self-dual quotients of the form T_B (M)/I, where T_B (M) is a path algebra with a graded Hopf algebra structure, and I is a graded admissible Hopf ideal.

Quantum doubles in monoidal categories

Let H be a Hopf algebra in a rigid symmetric monoidal category C then the evaluation map τis a convolution-invertible skew pairing. In the previous paper, we constructed a Hopf algebra D(H)=H ? _r H ^?cop in C. In this paper, we first show that D(H) is a quasitriangular Hopf algebra in C. Next, let H be an ordinary triangular finite-dimensional Hopf algebra. Then one can form quasitriangular Hopf algebras B(H,H) and B(H,D(H)) (in a rigid braided monoidal category) by Majid’s method associated to the ordinary Hopf algebra maps H →H and i_H H → D(H), where D(H) is the Drin-fePd quantum double. We show that D (B(H,H)) and B(H,D(H)) are isomorphic Hopf algebras in the braided monoidal category.     

On the subgroup structure of the full Brauer group of Sweedler Hopf algebra

We introduce a three-parameter family of two-dimensional algebras representing elements in the Brauer group BQ(k,H ₄) of Sweedler Hopf algebra H ₄ over a field k. They allow us to describe the mutual intersection of the subgroups arising from a quasitriangular or coquasitriangular structure. We also define a new subgroup of BQ(k,H ₄) and construct an exact sequence relating it to the Brauer group of Nichols 8-dimensional Hopf algebra with respect to the quasitriangular structure attached to the 2 × 2-matrix with 1 in the (1, 2)-entry and zero elsewhere.     

Representation-theoretic rank and double hopf algebras

We compute the intrinsic category-theoretic rank: for quasitriangular Hopf algebras in the case of the quantum double Hopf algebra of Drinfeld. The result is closely related ti recent Hopf algebra invariants of Larson and Radford.     

Conjugacy Classes,Class Sums and Character Tables for Hopf Algebras

We extend the notion of conjugacy classes and class sums from finite groups to semisimple Hopf algebras and show that the conjugacy classes are obtained from the factorization of H as irreducible left D(H)-modules. For quasitriangular semisimple Hopf algebras H, we prove that the product of two class sums is an integral combination of the class sums up to d ^?2 where d = dim H. We show also that in this case the character table is obtained from the S-matrix associated to D(H). Finally, we calculate explicitly the generalized character table of D(kS ₃), which is not a character table for any group. It moreover provides an example of a product of two class sums which is not an integral combination of class sums.     

Braided bosonization and inhomogeneous quantum groups

We consider quasitriangular Hopf algebras in braided tensor categories introduced by Majid. It is known that a quasitriangular Hopf algebra H in a braided monoidal category C induces a braiding in a full monoidal subcategory of the category of H-modules in C. Within this subcategory, a braided version of the bosonization theorem with respect to the category C will be proved. An example of braided monoidal categories with quasitriangular structure deviating from the ordinary case of symmetric tensor categories of vector spaces is provided by certain braided supersymmetric tensor categories. Braided inhomogeneous quantum groups like the dilaton free q-Poincaré group are explicit applications.Supported in part by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) through a research fellowship.     

SOME ISOMORPHISMS FOR THE BRAUER GROUPS OF A HOPF ALGEBRA

Using equivalences of categories we provide general isomorphisms between the Brauer groups of different Hopf algebras. One of those is used to prove that the Brauer groups BC(k, H ₄, r_t ) for every dual quasitriangular structure r_t on Sweedler's Hopf algebra H ₄ are all isomorphic to the direct sum of (k, +) and the Brauer-Wall group of k.     

Hopf monads on monoidal categories

We define Hopf monads on an arbitrary monoidal category, extending the definition given in Bruguières and Virelizier (2007) [5] for monoidal categories with duals. A Hopf monad is a bimonad (or opmonoidal monad) whose fusion operators are invertible. This definition can be formulated in terms of Hopf adjunctions, which are comonoidal adjunctions with an invertibility condition. On a monoidal category with internal Homs, a Hopf monad is a bimonad admitting a left and a right antipode.Hopf monads generalize Hopf algebras to the non-braided setting. They also generalize Hopf algebroids (which are linear Hopf monads on a category of bimodules admitting a right adjoint). We show that any finite tensor category is the category of finite-dimensional modules over a Hopf algebroid.Any Hopf algebra in the center of a monoidal category C gives rise to a Hopf monad on C. The Hopf monads so obtained are exactly the augmented Hopf monads. More generally if a Hopf monad T is a retract of a Hopf monad P, then P is a cross product of T by a Hopf algebra of the center of the category of T-modules (generalizing the Radford–Majid bosonization of Hopf algebras).We show that the comonoidal comonad of a Hopf adjunction is canonically represented by a cocommutative central coalgebra. As a corollary, we obtain an extension of Sweedler?s Hopf module decomposition theorem to Hopf monads (in fact to the weaker notion of pre-Hopf monad).     

On Smash Products Of Hopf Algebras

Let H = X? _R A denote an R-smash product of the two bialgebras X and A. We prove that (X,A) is a pair of matched bialgebras, if the R-smash product H has a braiding structure. When X is an associative algebra and A is a Hopf algebra, we investigate the global dimension and the weak dimension of the smash product H = X? _R A and show that lD(H) ≤ rD(A) + lD(X) and wD(H) ≤ wD(A) + wD(X). As an application, we get lD(H ₄) = ∞ for Sweedler's four dimensional Hopf algebra H ₄. We also study the associativity of smash products and the relations between smash products and factorization for algebras.     

Constructing Quasitriangular Multiplier Hopf Algebras By Twisted Tensor Coproducts

Let A and B be multiplier Hopf algebras, and let R ∈ M(B ? A) be an anti-copairing multiplier, i.e, the inverse of R is a skew-copairing multiplier in the sense of Delvaux [5 Delvaux , L. ( 2004 ). Twisted tensor coproduct of multiplier Hopf (*)-algebras . J. Algebra 274 : 751 – 771 . [Google Scholar]]. Then one can construct a twisted tensor coproduct multiplier Hopf algebra A ? _R  B. Using this, we establish the correspondence between the existence of quasitriangular structures in A ? _R  B and the existence of such structures in the factors A and B. We illustrate our theory with a profusion of examples which cannot be obtained by using classical Hopf algebras. Also, we study the class of minimal quasitriangular multiplier Hopf algebras and show that every minimal quasitriangular Hopf algebra is a quotient of a Drinfel’d double for some algebraic quantum group.     

Various Structures Associated to the Representation Categories of Eight-Dimensional Nonsemisimple Hopf Algebras

We determine various additional structures on all nonsemisimple Hopf algebras of dimension 8 over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0, including their representation rings and quasitriangular structures. As a consequence, it is shown that for two such Hopf algebras, the tensor categories of their representations are monoidally equivalent if and only if the representation rings of them are isomorphic as rings. An erratum to this article is available at .     

Cocycles on a finite dimensional quotient of uq (sl(2))

We prove that certain algebra quotients of Hopf algebras are twisted Hopf algebras. On the other handu_q (sl(2)) is a crossed product of a central subalgebra with a quotient [Ubar], when q is a root of 1. Using the cocycle involved in this crossed product we construct non-trivial complex cocycles τ and we find the isomorphism classes of the corresponding twisted Hopf algebras _τ [Ubar]. These provide complex projective representations of [Ubar] which are not ordinary representations.     

A Lot of Quasitriangular Group-cograded Multiplier Hopf Algebras

A new method of constructing quasitriangular group-cograded multiplier Hopf algebras is provided. For a multiplier Hopf dual pairing σ between regular multiplier Hopf algebras A and B, we introduce the concept of a σ-compatible pairing (Φ, Ψ, σ ), where Φ and Ψ are actions of the twisted semi-direct group of a group G on A and B, respectively. We construct a twisted double group-cograded multiplier Hopf algbera D(A, B; σ, Φ, Ψ). Furthermore, if there is a canonical multiplier in M(B ⊗ A) we show existence of quasitriangular structure on D(A, B; σ, Φ, Ψ). As an application, special cases and examples are given.     

On the cyclic homology of commutative algebras over arbitrary ground rings

Abstract

Let D(H) be the quantum double associated to a finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra H, as in Hausser and Nill ((Hausser, F., Nill, F. (1999a). Diagonal crossed products by duals of quasi-quantum groups. Rev. Math. Phys. 11:553–629) and (Hausser, F., Nill, F. (1999b). Doubles of quasi-quantum groups. Comm. Math. Phys. 199:547–589)). In this note, we first generalize a result of Majid (Majid, S. (1991). Doubles of quasitriangular Hopf algebras. Comm. Algebra 19:3061–3073) for Hopf algebras, and then prove that the quantum double of a finite dimensional quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra is a biproduct in the sense of Bulacu and Nauwelaerts (Bulacu, D., Nauwelaerts, E. (2002). Radford's biproduct for quasi-Hopf algebras and bosonization. J. Pure Appl. Algebra 179:1–42.).
