Pairing and Quantum Double of Multiplier Hopf Algebras

We define and investigate pairings of multiplier Hopf (*-)algebras which are nonunital generalizations of Hopf algebras. Dual pairs of multiplier Hopf algebras arise naturally from any multiplier Hopf algebra A with integral and its dual Â. Pairings of multiplier Hopf algebras play a basic rôle, e.g., in the study of actions and coactions, and, in particular, in the relation between them. This aspect of the theory is treated elsewhere. In this paper we consider the quantum double construction out of a dual pair of multiplier Hopf algebras. We show that two dually paired regular multiplier Hopf (*-)algebras A and B yield a quantum double which is again a regular multiplier Hopf (*-)algebra. If A and B have integrals, then the quantum double also has an integral. If A and B are Hopf algebras, then the quantum double multiplier Hopf algebra is the usual quantum double. The quantum double construction for dually paired multiplier Hopf (*-)algebras yields new nontrivial examples of multiplier Hopf (*-)algebras.     

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.     

On Hopf Galois Extension of Separable Algebras

In this paper, the classical Galois theory to the H*-Galois case is developed. Let H be a semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra over a field k, A a left H-module algebra,and A/AHa right H*-Galois extension. The authors prove that, if AHis a separable kalgebra, then for any right coideal subalgebra B of H, the B-invariants A~B= {a ∈ A |b · a = ε(b)a, b∈ B} is a separable k-algebra. They also establish a Galois connection between right coideal subalgebras of H and separable subalgebras of A containing AHas in the classical case. The results are applied to the case H =(kG)*for a finite group G to get a Galois 1-1 correspondence.     

Traces on Multiplier Hopf Algebras

In this article we lay the algebraic foundations to establish the existence of trace functions on infinite-dimensional (multiplier) Hopf algebras. We solve the problem within the framework of multiplier Hopf algebra with integrals. By applying this theory to group-cograded multiplier Hopf algebras, we prove the existence of group-traces on group-cograded multiplier Hopf algebras with possibly infinite-dimensional components. We generalize the results as obtained by Virelizier in the case of finite-type Hopf group-coalgebras.     

A Class of Multiplier Hopf Algebras

We compute the Drinfel’d double for the bicrossproduct multiplier Hopf algebra A = k[G] ⋊ K(H) associated with the factorization of an infinite group M into two subgroups G and H. We also show that there is a basis-preserving self-duality structure for the multiplier Hopf algebra A = k[G] ⋊ K(H) if there is a factor-reversing group isomorphism. Presented by A. Verschoren.     

The Structure Theorems of Weak Hopf Algebras

In this article, we mainly give the structure theorem of endomorphism algebras of weak Hopf algebras, and give another structure theorem as well as some applications for weak Doi–Hopf modules.     

A Trace-Like Invariant for Representations of Hopf Algebras

We introduce an invariant for the irreducible representations of finite dimensional Hopf algebras, defined as the trace of a map induced by the antipode on the endomorphisms of each corresponding simple module. We also compute the value of this invariant for the representations of two families of non-semisimple Hopf 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.     

Group-cograded Multiplier Hopf ${\left( { * {\text{ - }}} \right)}$algebras

Let G be a group and assume that (A _p ) _p∈G is a family of algebras with identity. We have a Hopf G-coalgebra (in the sense of Turaev) if, for each pair p,q ∈ G, there is given a unital homomorphism Δ _p,q : A _pq → A _p ⊗ A _q satisfying certain properties. Consider now the direct sum A of these algebras. It is an algebra, without identity, except when G is a finite group, but the product is non-degenerate. The maps Δ _p,q can be used to define a coproduct Δ on A and the conditions imposed on these maps give that (A,Δ) is a multiplier Hopf algebra. It is G-cograded as explained in this paper. We study these so-called group-cograded multiplier Hopf algebras. They are, as explained above, more general than the Hopf group-coalgebras as introduced by Turaev. Moreover, our point of view makes it possible to use results and techniques from the theory of multiplier Hopf algebras in the study of Hopf group-coalgebras (and generalizations). In a separate paper, we treat the quantum double in this context and we recover, in a simple and natural way (and generalize) results obtained by Zunino. In this paper, we study integrals, in general and in the case where the components are finite-dimensional. Using these ideas, we obtain most of the results of Virelizier on this subject and consider them in the framework of multiplier Hopf algebras. Presented by Ken Goodearl.

A Characterization of Quasitriangular Hopf Algebras

In this paper,we show that if H is a finite dimensional Hopf algebra then H is quasitri-angular if and only if H is coquasi-triangular. As a consequentility ,we obtain a generalized result of Sauchenburg.     

Locality Criteria for Cocommutative Hopf Algebras

We prove that a finite-dimensional cocommutative Hopf algebra H is local, if and only if the subalgebra generated by the first term of its coradical filtration H ₁ is local. In particular if H is connected, H is local if and only if all the primitive elements of H are nilpotent.     

Cocycle deformations and Galois objects of semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension 16

Abstract

In this article, we determine cocycle deformations and Galois objects of non-commutative and non-cocommutative semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension 16. We show that these Hopf algebras are pairwise twist inequivalent mainly by calculating their higher Frobenius-Schur indicators, and that except three Hopf algebras which are cocycle deformations of dual group algebras, none of them admit non-trivial cocycle deformations.     

A New Cyclic Module for Hopf Algebras

We define a new cyclic module, dual to the Connes–Moscovici cocyclic module, for Hopf algebras, and give a characteristic map for coactions of Hopf algebras. We also compute the resulting cyclic homology for cocommutative Hopf algebras, and some quantum groups.     

Triviality of differential Galois cohomology of linear differential algebraic groups

For a partial differential field K, we show that the triviality of the first differential Galois cohomology of every linear differential algebraic group over K is equivalent to K being algebraically, Picard–Vessiot, and linearly differentially closed. This cohomological triviality condition is also known to be equivalent to the uniqueness up to an isomorphism of a Picard–Vessiot extension of a linear differential equation with parameters.     

Cyclic Homology of Hopf Algebras

A cyclic cohomology theory adapted to Hopf algebras has been introduced recently by Connes and Moscovici. In this paper, we consider this object in the homological framework, in the spirit of Loday and Quillen and Karoubi's work on the cyclic homology of associative algebras. In the case of group algebras, we interpret the decomposition of the classical cyclic homology of a group algebra in terms of this homology. We also compute both cyclic homologies for truncated quiver algebras.     

Coset Decomposition for Semisimple Hopf Algebras

The notion of double coset for semisimple finite dimensional Hopf algebras is introduced. This is done by considering an equivalence relation on the set of irreducible characters of the dual Hopf algebra. As an application formulae for the restriction of the irreducible characters to normal Hopf subalgebras are given.     

The Steenrod Algebra and Theories Associated to Hopf Algebras

We show that the homotopy category of products of Z/p-Eilenberg–Mac Lane spaces is an -algebra which algebraically is determined by the Steenrod algebra considered as a Hopf algebra with unstable structure.
