On categories associated to a Quasi-Hopf algebra

A quasi-Hopf algebra H can be seen as a commutative algebra A in the center 𝒵(H-Mod) of H-Mod. We show that the category of A-modules in 𝒵(H-Mod) is equivalent (as a monoidal category) to H-Mod. This can be regarded as a generalization of the structure theorem of Hopf bimodules of a Hopf algebra to the quasi-Hopf setting.

Loop spaces, and coherence for monoidal and braided monoidal bicategories

We prove a coherence theorem for braided monoidal bicategories and relate it to the coherence theorem for monoidal bicategories. We show how coherence for these structures can be interpreted topologically using up-to-homotopy operad actions and the algebraic classification of surface braids.

Let A and H be Hopf algebra,T-smash product A (∞)T H generalizes twisted smash product A*H.This paper shows a necessary and sufficient condition for T-smash product module category A(∞)T H M to be braided monoidal category.     

Smash Products for Secondary Homotopy Groups

We construct a smash product operation on secondary homotopy groups yielding the structure of a lax symmetric monoidal functor. Applications on cup-one products, Toda brackets and Whitehead products are considered.

Defending the negated Kaplansky conjecture

To answer in the negative a conjecture of Kaplansky, four recent papers independently constructed four families of Hopf algebras of fixed finite dimension, each of which consisted of infinitely many isomorphism classes. We defend nevertheless the negated conjecture by proving that the Hopf algebras in each family are cocycle deformations of each other.

     

余拟三角弱Hopf群代数与辫子Monoidal范畴

In this paper, we first give the definitions of a crossed left π-H-comodules over a crossed weak Hopf π-algebra H, and show that the category of crossed left π-H-comodules is a monoidal category. Finally, we show that a family σ = {σα,β: Hα Hβ→ k}α,β∈πof k-linear maps is a coquasitriangular structure of a crossed weak Hopf π-algebra H if and only if the category of crossed left π-H-comodules over H is a braided monoidal category with braiding defined by σ.     

Fusion Operators and Cocycloids in Monoidal Categories

The Yang–Baxter equation has been studied extensively in the context of monoidal categories. The fusion equation, which appears to be the Yang–Baxter equation with a term missing, has been studied mainly in the context of Hilbert spaces. This paper endeavours to place the fusion equation in an appropriate categorical setting. Tricocycloids are defined; they are new mathematical structures closely related to Hopf algebras.     

Quantization of lie Bialgebras via the Formality of the operad of Little Disks

We give a proof of the Etingof–Kazhdan theorem on quantization of Lie bialgebras based on the formality of the chain operad of little disks and show that the Grothendieck–Teichmüller group acts non-trivially on the corresponding quantization functors.

A monoidal approach to splitting morphisms of bialgebras

The main goal of this paper is to investigate the structure of Hopf algebras with the property that either its Jacobson radical is a Hopf ideal or its coradical is a subalgebra. Let us consider a Hopf algebra such that its Jacobson radical is a nilpotent Hopf ideal and is a semisimple algebra. We prove that the canonical projection of on has a section which is an -colinear algebra map. Furthermore, if is cosemisimple too, then we can choose this section to be an -bicolinear algebra morphism. This fact allows us to describe as a `generalized bosonization' of a certain algebra in the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over . As an application we give a categorical proof of Radford's result about Hopf algebras with projections. We also consider the dual situation. Let be a bialgebra such that its coradical is a Hopf sub-bialgebra with antipode. Then there is a retraction of the canonical injection of into which is an -linear coalgebra morphism. Furthermore, if is semisimple too, then we can choose this retraction to be an -bilinear coalgebra morphism. Then, also in this case, we can describe as a `generalized bosonization' of a certain coalgebra in the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over .
