The GK dimension of relatively free algebras of PI-algebras

We prove a strict relation between the Gelfand–Kirillov (GK) dimension of the relatively free (graded) algebra of a PI-algebra and its (graded) exponent. As a consequence we show a Bahturin–Zaicev type result relating the GK dimension of the relatively free algebra of a graded PI-algebra and the one of its neutral part. We also get that the growth of the relatively free graded algebra of a matrix algebra is maximal when the grading is fine. Finally we compute the graded GK dimension of the matrix algebra with any grading and the graded GK dimension of any verbally prime algebra endowed with an elementary grading.     

Hopf subalgebras of pointed Hopf algebras and applications

On the exponent of finite-dimensional non-cosemisimple Hopf algebras

In 1999, Kashina introduced the exponent of a Hopf algebra. In this article, we prove that the exponent of a finite-dimensional non-cosemisimple Hopf algebra with Chevalley property in characteristic 0 is infinite, and the exponent of a finite-dimensional non-cosemisimple pointed Hopf algebra in positive characteristic is finite.     

Automorphism groups of pointed Hopf algebras

The group of Hopf algebra automorphisms for a finite-dimensional semisimple cosemisimple Hopf algebra over a field k was considered by Radford and Waterhouse. In this paper, the groups of Hopf algebra automorphisms for two classes of pointed Hopf algebras are determined. Note that the Hopf algebras we consider are not semisimple Hopf algebras.      

G-structure on the cohomology of Hopf algebras

We prove that is a Gerstenhaber algebra, where is a Hopf algebra. In case is the Drinfeld double of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra , our results imply the existence of a Gerstenhaber bracket on . This fact was conjectured by R. Taillefer. The method consists of identifying as a Gerstenhaber subalgebra of (the Hochschild cohomology of ).

     

Cleft extensions of a family of braided Hopf algebras

We introduce a family of braided Hopf algebras that (in characteristic zero) generalizes the rank 1 Hopf algebras introduced by Krop and Radford and we study its cleft extensions.     

Characters and a Verlinde-type formula for symmetric Hopf algebras

We study certain aspects of finite-dimensional non-semisimple symmetric Hopf algebras H and their duals H^*. We focus on the set I(H) of characters of projective H-modules which is an ideal of the algebra of cocommutative elements of H^*. This ideal corresponds via a symmetrizing form to the projective center (Higman ideal) of H which turns out to be ΛH, where Λ is an integral of H and is the left adjoint action of H on itself. We describe ΛH via primitive and central primitive idempotents of H. We also show that it is stable under the quantum Fourier transform. Our best results are obtained when H is a factorizable ribbon Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. In this case ΛH is also the image of I(H) under a “translated” Drinfel'd map. We use this fact to prove the existence of a Steinberg-like character. The above ingredients are used to prove a Verlinde-type formula for ΛH.     

The Ends of Algebras

We introduce the notion of ends for algebras. The definition is analogous to the one in geometric group theory. We establish some relations to growth conditions and cyclic cohomology.     

The structures on the universal enveloping algebras of differential graded Poisson Hopf algebras

In this paper, the so-called differential graded (DG for short) Poisson Hopf algebra is introduced, which can be considered as a natural extension of Poisson Hopf algebras in the differential graded setting. The structures on the universal enveloping algebras of differential graded Poisson Hopf algebras are discussed.     

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.     

关于扭Hopf代数的一些注记

In this paper,we get some properties of the antipode of a twisted Hopf algebra.We proved that the graded global dimension of a twisted Hopf algebra coincides with the graded projective dimension of its trivial module k,which is also equal to the projective dimension of k.     

Hopf modules,Frobenius functors and (one-sided) Hopf algebras

We investigate the property of being Frobenius for some functors strictly related with Hopf modules over a bialgebra and how this property reflects on the latter. In particular, we characterize one-sided Hopf algebras with anti-(co)multiplicative one-sided antipode as those for which the free Hopf module functor is Frobenius. As a by-product, this leads us to relate the property of being an FH-algebra (in the sense of Pareigis) for a given bialgebra with the property of being Frobenius for certain naturally associated functors.     

Hopf algebras of primitive Lie pseudogroups and Hopf cyclic cohomology

We associate to each infinite primitive Lie pseudogroup a Hopf algebra of ‘transverse symmetries,’ by refining a procedure due to Connes and the first author in the case of the general pseudogroup. The affiliated Hopf algebra can be viewed as a ‘quantum group’ counterpart of the infinite-dimensional primitive Lie algebra of the pseudogroup. It is first constructed via its action on the étale groupoid associated to the pseudogroup, and then realized as a bicrossed product of a universal enveloping algebra by a Hopf algebra of regular functions on a formal group. The bicrossed product structure allows to express its Hopf cyclic cohomology in terms of a bicocyclic bicomplex analogous to the Chevalley-Eilenberg complex. As an application, we compute the relative Hopf cyclic cohomology modulo the linear isotropy for the Hopf algebra of the general pseudogroup, and find explicit cocycle representatives for the universal Chern classes in Hopf cyclic cohomology. As another application, we determine all Hopf cyclic cohomology groups for the Hopf algebra associated to the pseudogroup of local diffeomorphisms of the line.     

Noetherian PI Hopf algebras are Gorenstein

We prove that every noetherian affine PI Hopf algebra has finite injective dimension, which answers a question of Brown (1998).

     

Some properties of factorizable Hopf algebras

A direct proof without modular category theory is given of a recent theorem of Etingof and Gelaki (1998) on the dimensions of irreducible representations. Factorizable Hopf algebras are characterized in terms of their Drinfeld double, and their character rings and the group-like elements of their duals are described.

     

Commutative combinatorial Hopf algebras

We propose several constructions of commutative or cocommutative Hopf algebras based on various combinatorial structures and investigate the relations between them. A commutative Hopf algebra of permutations is obtained by a general construction based on graphs, and its noncommutative dual is realized in three different ways, in particular, as the Grossman–Larson algebra of heap-ordered trees. Extensions to endofunctions, parking functions, set compositions, set partitions, planar binary trees, and rooted forests are discussed. Finally, we introduce one-parameter families interpolating between different structures constructed on the same combinatorial objects.     

半单弱Hopf代数的作用

令H是半单弱Hopf代数, A是左H-模代数.我们证明了正则A-模的内射维数, A#H-模A的内射维数和正则A#H-模的内射维数三者是相等的. 而且,利用H在A上的不动点代数我们给出了A是Gorenstein代数的充要条件.     

On the duality of generalized Lie and Hopf algebras

We show how, under certain conditions, an adjoint pair of braided monoidal functors can be lifted to an adjoint pair between categories of Hopf algebras. This leads us to an abstract version of Michaelis' theorem, stating that given a Hopf algebra H  , there is a natural isomorphism of Lie algebras Q(H)^?≅P(H^°)$Q{(H)}^{?}\cong P(H^{°})$, where Q(H)^?$Q{(H)}^{?}$ is the dual Lie algebra of the Lie coalgebra of indecomposables of H  , and P(H^°)$P(H^{°})$ is the Lie algebra of primitive elements of the Sweedler dual of H. We apply our theory to Turaev's Hopf group-(co)algebras.     

Gelfand–Kirillov Dimension of Algebras with a Locally Finite and Multiparameter Indexed Filtration

Let A have a locally finite and multiparameter indexed filtration ?, and let B be a homomorphic image of A. Thus B has the locally finite and multiparameter indexed filtration induced from ?. Here we study a relation between the associated graded algebra of A and that of B and use this result to calculate the Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of several algebras related to quantized algebras and Poisson enveloping algebras.     

Gelfand-Kirillov dimensions of the ℤ-graded oscillator representations of 𝔬(n,ℂ) and 𝔰𝔭(2n,ℂ)

In this paper, we give a method to compute the Gelfand–Kirillov dimensions of some polynomial–type weight modules. These modules are infinite-dimensional irreducible 𝔬(n,?)-modules and 𝔰𝔭(2n,?)-modules that appeared in the ?-graded oscillator generalizations of the classical theorem on harmonic polynomials established by Luo and Xu. We also found that some of these modules have the secondly minimal GK-dimension, and some of them have the larger GK-dimension than the maximal GK-dimension apearing in unitary highest-weight modules.
