On Semisimple Hopf Algebras of Dimension pq r

Let p and q be distinct prime numbers. We prove a result on the existence of nontrivial group-like elements in a certain class of semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension pq ^r . We conclude the classification of semisimple Hopf algebras A of dimension pq ² over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero, such that both A and A ^* are of Frobenius type. We also complete the classification of semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension pq ²<100.     

On Semisimple Hopf Algebras of Dimension 2 m

In this paper we classify all nontrivial semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension 2 ^{n +1} with the group of grouplikes isomorphic to _{2 n–1}×₂. Moreover, we extend some results on irreducible representations from groups to semisimple Hopf algebras and prove that certain semisimple Hopf algebras, including the ones classified in this paper, satisfy the generalized power map property.

Galois-type correspondences for Hopf Galois extensions

In order to obtain a Galois correspondence between intermediate subalgebras of a Hopf-Galois extension and corresponding Hopf subalgebras, we have to reconstruct such Hopf algebras from the given Hopf-Galois extension. The construction of a suitable Hopf algebra associated to a commutativeH-Galois extension is provided; the results are applicable to field extensions.This author is supported by a grant of the European Liaisons Committee.

The Structure of Weak Hopf Algebras Corresponding to U q (sl 2)

The structure of weak Hopf algebras corresponding to U _q (sl ₂) are classified by their algebra structure and coalgebra structure. The algebra structure of weak Hopf algebras corresponding to U _q (sl ₂) can be written as the direct sum of U _q (sl ₂) and an algebra of polynomials. The coalgebra structure of weak Hopf algebras corresponding to U _q (sl ₂) are classified by their Ext quiver. There are four types of such structures.     

The Structure of Frobenius Algebras and Separable Algebras

We present a unified approach to the study of separable and Frobenius algebras. The crucial observation is that both types of algebras are related to the nonlinear equation R¹²R²³=R²³R¹³=R¹³R¹², called the FS-equation. Solutions of the FS-equation automatically satisfy the braid equation, an equation that is in a sense equivalent to the quantum Yang–Baxter equation. Given a solution to the FS-equation satisfying a certain normalizing condition, we can construct a Frobenius algebra or a separable algebra A(R) – the normalizing condition is different in both cases. The main result of this paper is the structure of these two fundamental types of algebras: a finite dimensional Frobenius or separable k-algebra A is isomorphic to such an A(R). A(R) can be described using generators and relations. A new characterization of Frobenius extensions is given: B A is Frobenius if and only if A has a B-coring structure (A, , ) such that the comultiplication : A A_B A is an A-bimodule map.     

On the spectral sequence constructors of Guichardet and Stefan

The concept of a spectral sequence constructor is generalised to Hopf Galois extensions. The spectral sequence constructions that are given by Guichardet for crossed product algebras are also generalised and shown to provide examples. It is shown that all spectral sequence constructors for Hopf Galois extensions construct the same spectral sequence.     

On Galois Extension of Hopf Algebras

Let H be a cosemisimple Hopf algebra over a field k, and π ： A→ H be a surjective cocentral bialgebra homomorphism of bialgebras. The authors prove that if A is Galois over its coinvariants B=LH Ker π and B is a sub-Hopf algebra of A, then A is itself a Hopf algebra. This generalizes a result of Cegarra [3] on group-graded algebras.     

Structure Theorems for Bicomodule Algebras Over Quasi-Hopf Algebras,Weak Hopf Algebras,and Braided Hopf Algebras

Let H be a quasi-Hopf algebra, a weak Hopf algebra, or a braided Hopf algebra. Let B be an H-bicomodule algebra such that there exists a morphism of H-bicomodule algebras v: H → B. Then we can define an object B^co(H), which is a left-left Yetter–Drinfeld module over H, having extra properties that allow to make a smash product B^co(H)#H, which is an H-bicomodule algebra, isomorphic to B.     

Cleft Extensions of Hopf Algebroids

The notions of a cleft extension and a cross product with a Hopf algebroid are introduced and studied. In particular it is shown that an extension (with a Hopf algebroid ℋ = (ℋ _L , ℋ _R )) is cleft if and only if it is ℋ _R -Galois and has a normal basis property relative to the base ring L of ℋ _L . Cleft extensions are identified as crossed products with invertible cocycles. The relationship between the equivalence classes of crossed products and gauge transformations is established. Strong connections in cleft extensions are classified and sufficient conditions are derived for the Chern–Galois characters to be independent on the choice of strong connections. The results concerning cleft extensions and crossed product are then extended to the case of weak cleft extensions of Hopf algebroids hereby defined. Dedicated to Stef Caenepeel on the occasion of his 50th birthday.     

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.     

On Hopf Algebras and Their Generalizations

We survey Hopf algebras and their generalizations. In particular, we compare and contrast three well-studied generalizations (quasi-Hopf algebras, weak Hopf algebras, and Hopf algebroids), and two newer ones (Hopf monads and hopfish algebras). Each of these notions was originally introduced for a specific purpose within a particular context; our discussion favors applicability to the theory of dynamical quantum groups. Throughout the note, we provide several definitions and examples in order to make this exposition accessible to readers with differing backgrounds.     

On Cleft Extensions of the Tensor Product of Two Hopf Algebras

In this article, we first decompose a cleft extension for X ? Y into two cleft extensions for X and Y respectively, where X and Y are Hopf algebras on a commutative ring R. Conversely, we introduce the concept of consistent cleft Hopf extensions and prove that one can construct a cleft extension for X ? Y by two cleft extensions for X and Y if and only if these two cleft extensions are consistent. An example is also given to show an application of our main results.     

Structure Theorems for Semisimple Hopf Algebras of Dimension pq 3

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.
