A Categorical Approach to Turaev's Hopf Group-Coalgebras

We show that Turaev's group-coalgebras and Hopf group-coalgebras are coalgebras and Hopf algebras in a symmetric monoidal category, which we call the Turaev category. A similar result holds for group-algebras and Hopf group-algebras. As an application, we give an alternative approach to Virelizier's version of the Fundamental Theorem for Hopf algebras. We introduce Yetter–Drinfeld modules over Hopf group-coalgebras using the center construction.     

The weak braided Hopf algebra structure of some Cayley–Dickson algebras

It has been shown by Albuquerque and Majid that a class of unital k-algebras, not necessarily associative, obtained through the Cayley–Dickson process can be viewed as commutative associative algebras in some suitable symmetric monoidal categories. In this note we will prove that they are, moreover, commutative and cocommutative weak braided Hopf algebras within these categories. To this end we first define a Cayley–Dickson process for coalgebras. We then see that the k-vector space of complex numbers, of quaternions, of octonions, of sedenions, etc. fit to our theory, hence they are all monoidal coalgebras as well, and therefore weak braided Hopf algebras.

Cleft extensions in braided categories

Majid in [14] and Bespalov in [2] obtain a braided interpretation of Radford’s theorem about Hopf algebras with projection ([19]). In this paper we introduce the notion of H-cleft comodule (module) algebras (coalgebras) for a Hopf algebra H in a braided monoidal category, and we characterize it as crossed products (coproducts). This allows us give very short proofs for know results in our context, and to introduce others stated for the category of R-modules about of Hopf algebra extensions. In particular we give a proof of the result by Bespalov [2] for a braided monoidal category with co(equalizers).     

Algebras Versus Coalgebras

Algebras and coalgebras are fundamental notions for large parts of mathematics. The basic constructions from universal algebra are now expressed in the language of categories and thus are accessible to classical algebraists and topologists as well as to logicians and computer scientists. Some of them have developed specialised parts of the theory and often reinvented constructions already known in a neighbouring area. One purpose of this survey is to show the connection between results from different fields and to trace a number of them back to some fundamental papers in category theory from the early 1970s. Another intention is to look at the interplay between algebraic and coalgebraic notions. Hopf algebras are one of the most interesting objects in this setting. While knowledge of algebras and coalgebras are folklore in general category theory, the notion of Hopf algebras is usually only considered for monoidal categories. In the course of the text we do suggest how to overcome this defect by defining a Hopf monad on an arbitrary category as a monad and comonad satisfying some compatibility conditions and inducing an equivalence between the base category and the category of the associated bimodules. For a set G, the endofunctor G× – on the category of sets shares these properties if and only if G admits a group structure. Finally, we report about the possibility of subsuming algebras and coalgebras in the notion of ( F , G )-dimodules associated to two functors between different categories. This observation, due to Tatsuya Hagino, was an outcome from the theory of categorical data types and may also be of use in classical algebra.      

Bivariant Hopf Cyclic Cohomology

For module algebras and module coalgebras over an arbitrary bialgebra, we define two types of bivariant cyclic cohomology groups called bivariant Hopf cyclic cohomology and bivariant equivariant cyclic cohomology. These groups are defined through an extension of Connes' cyclic category Λ. We show that, in the case of module coalgebras, bivariant Hopf cyclic cohomology specializes to Hopf cyclic cohomology of Connes and Moscovici and its dual version by fixing either one of the variables as the ground field. We also prove an appropriate version of Morita invariance for both of these theories.

Tensor Product of Massey Products

In this paper, we interpret Massey products in terms of realizations （twitsting cochains） of certain differential graded coalgebras with values in differential graded algebras. In the case where the target algebra is the cobar construction of a differential graded commutative Hopf algebra, we construct the tensor product of realizations and show that the tensor product is strictly associative, and commutative up to homotopy.     

New coefficients for Hopf Cyclic Cohomology

In this note, the categories of coefficients for Hopf cyclic cohomology of comodule algebras and comodule coalgebras are extended. We show that these new categories have two proper different subcategories where the smallest one is the known category of stable anti Yetter–Drinfeld modules. We prove that components of Hopf cyclic cohomology such as cup products work well with these new coefficients.     

Monoidal Hom–Hopf Algebras

Hom-structures (Lie algebras, algebras, coalgebras, Hopf algebras) have been investigated in the literature recently. We study Hom-structures from the point of view of monoidal categories; in particular, we introduce a symmetric monoidal category such that Hom-algebras coincide with algebras in this monoidal category, and similar properties for coalgebras, Hopf algebras, and Lie algebras.     

Quantum algebras,quantum coalgebras,invariants of 1-1 tangles and knots

Quantum coalgebras are defined and studied. A theory of asso­ciated invariants of 1-1 tangles, knots and links is developed. The notion of quantum coalgebra is more general than dual of quantum algebra. Examples of quantum algebras include quasitriangular Hopf algebras and examples of quantum coalgebras include coquasi triangu­lar Hopf algebras.

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.     

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 the structure of graded <Emphasis Type="Italic">λ</Emphasis>-Hopf algebras

Let G be an abelian group, B the G-graded λ-Hopf algebra with A being a bicharacter on G. By introducing some new twisted algebras （coalgebras）, we investigate the basic properties of the graded antipode and the structure for B. We also prove that a G-graded λ-Hopf algebra can be embedded in a usual Hopf algebra. As an application, it is given that if G is a finite abelian group then the graded antipode of a finite dimensional G-graded A-Hopf algebra is invertible.

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.     

Constructing New Quasitriangular Turaev Group Coalgebras

In this article, we construct a lot of new examples of Hopf group coalgebras by considering Majid's bicrossproduct Hopf algebra in Turaev category. Furthermore, we find the sufficient and necessary conditions for such Majid's bicrossproduct Hopf algebra to admit quasitriangular structures in the sense of Turaev group coalgebras.     

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.
