Self-dual weak Hopf algebras

In this paper, we define the notion of self-dual graded weak Hopf algebra and self-dual semilattice graded weak Hopf algebra. We give characterization of finite-dimensional such algebras when they are in structually simple forms in the sense of E. L. Green and E. N. Morcos. We also give the definition of self-dual weak Hopf quiver and apply these types of quivers to classify the finite- dimensional self-dual semilattice graded weak Hopf algebras. Finally, we prove partially the conjecture given by N. Andruskiewitsch and H.-J. Schneider in the case of finite-dimensional pointed semilattice graded weak Hopf algebra H when grH is self-dual.     

Construction of Rota-Baxter algebras via Hopf module algebras

We propose the notion of Hopf module algebra and show that the projection onto the subspace of coinvariants is an idempotent Rota-Baxter operator of weight-1. We also provide a construction of Hopf module algebras by using Yetter-Drinfeld module algebras. As an application,we prove that the positive part of a quantum group admits idempotent Rota-Baxter algebra structures.     

The Hopf algebra of diagonal rectangulations

We define and study a combinatorial Hopf algebra dRec with basis elements indexed by diagonal rectangulations of a square. This Hopf algebra provides an intrinsic combinatorial realization of the Hopf algebra tBax of twisted Baxter permutations, which previously had only been described extrinsically as a Hopf subalgebra of the Malvenuto-Reutenauer Hopf algebra of permutations. We describe the natural lattice structure on diagonal rectangulations, analogous to the Tamari lattice on triangulations, and observe that diagonal rectangulations index the vertices of a polytope analogous to the associahedron. We give an explicit bijection between twisted Baxter permutations and the better-known Baxter permutations, and describe the resulting Hopf algebra structure on Baxter permutations.     

One-sided Hopf algebras and quantum quasigroups

We study the connections between one-sided Hopf algebras and one-sided quantum quasigroups, tracking the four possible invertibility conditions for the left and right composite morphisms that combine comultiplications and multiplications in these structures. The genuinely one-sided structures exhibit precisely two of the invertibilities, while it emerges that imposing one more condition often entails the validity of all four. A main result shows that under appropriate conditions, just one of the invertibility conditions is su?cient for the existence of a one-sided antipode. In the left Hopf algebra which is a variant of the quantum special linear group of two-dimensional matrices, it is shown explicitly that the right composite is not injective, and the left composite is not surjective.     

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).

     

Twisting theory for weak Hopf algebras

The main aim of this paper is to study the twisting theory of weak Hopf algebras and give an equivalence between the （braided） monoidal categories of weak Hopf bimodules over the original and the twisted weak Hopf algebra to generalize the result from Oeckl （2000）.     

Generalized braided Hopf algebras

The concept of （f, σ）-pair （B, H）is introduced, where B and H are Hopf algebras. A braided tensor category which is a tensor subcategory of the category ^HM of left H-comodules through an （f, σ）-pair is constructed. In particularly, a Yang-Baxter equation is got. A Hopf algebra is constructed as well in the Yetter-Drinfel＇d category H^HYD by twisting the multiplication of B.     

Coloured peak algebras and Hopf algebras

For G a finite abelian group, we study the properties of general equivalence relations on G _n = G ⁿ ⋊ _n , the wreath product of G with the symmetric group _n , also known as the G-coloured symmetric group. We show that under certain conditions, some equivalence relations give rise to subalgebras of G _n as well as graded connected Hopf subalgebras of ⨁ _{n≥ o} G _n . In particular we construct a G-coloured peak subalgebra of the Mantaci-Reutenauer algebra (or G-coloured descent algebra). We show that the direct sum of the G-coloured peak algebras is a Hopf algebra. We also have similar results for a G-colouring of the Loday-Ronco Hopf algebras of planar binary trees. For many of the equivalence relations under study, we obtain a functor from the category of finite abelian groups to the category of graded connected Hopf algebras. We end our investigation by describing a Hopf endomorphism of the G-coloured descent Hopf algebra whose image is the G-coloured peak Hopf algebra. We outline a theory of combinatorial G-coloured Hopf algebra for which the G-coloured quasi-symmetric Hopf algebra and the graded dual to the G-coloured peak Hopf algebra are central objects. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification Primary: 16S99; Secondary: 05E05, 05E10, 16S34, 16W30, 20B30, 20E22Bergeron is partially supported by NSERC and CRC, CanadaHohlweg is partially supported by CRC     

Hopf coactions on commutative algebras generated by a quadratically independent comodule

Let 𝒜 be a commutative unital algebra over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic ≠2, whose generators form a finite-dimensional subspace V, with no nontrivial homogeneous quadratic relations. Let 𝒬 be a Hopf algebra that coacts on 𝒜 inner-faithfully, while leaving V invariant. We prove that 𝒬 must be commutative when either: (i) the coaction preserves a non-degenerate bilinear form on V; or (ii) 𝒬 is co-semisimple, finite-dimensional, and char(k) = 0.     

Combinatorics of rooted trees and Hopf algebras

We begin by considering the graded vector space with a basis consisting of rooted trees, with grading given by the count of non-root vertices. We define two linear operators on this vector space, the growth and pruning operators, which respectively raise and lower grading; their commutator is the operator that multiplies a rooted tree by its number of vertices, and each operator naturally associates a multiplicity to each pair of rooted trees. By using symmetry groups of trees we define an inner product with respect to which the growth and pruning operators are adjoint, and obtain several results about the associated multiplicities.

Now the symmetric algebra on the vector space of rooted trees (after a degree shift) can be endowed with a coproduct to make a Hopf algebra; this was defined by Kreimer in connection with renormalization. We extend the growth and pruning operators, as well as the inner product mentioned above, to Kreimer's Hopf algebra. On the other hand, the vector space of rooted trees itself can be given a noncommutative multiplication: with an appropriate coproduct, this leads to the Hopf algebra of Grossman and Larson. We show that the inner product on rooted trees leads to an isomorphism of the Grossman-Larson Hopf algebra with the graded dual of Kreimer's Hopf algebra, correcting an earlier result of Panaite.

Left counital Hopf algebras on free Nijenhuis algebras

Factorization in algebra is an important problem. In this paper, we first obtain a unique factorization in free Nijenhuis algebras. By using of this unique factorization, we then define a coproduct and a left counital bialgebraic structure on a free Nijenhuis algebra. Finally, we prove that this left counital bialgebra is connected and hence obtain a left counital Hopf algebra on a free Nijenhuis algebra.     

Partial (co)actions of Taft and Nichols Hopf algebras on algebras

In this paper, we characterize suitable partial (co)actions of Taft and Nichols Hopf algebras on algebras, and moreover we get that such partial (co)actions are symmetric. For certain algebras, these partial (co)actions obtained are, indeed, all of them. This work generalizes the results obtained by the authors in [16].

A maschke type theorem for weak Hopf algebras

In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a comodule algebra over a weak Hopf algebra to have a total integral, thus extending the classical theory developed by Doi in the Hopf algebra setting. Also, from these results, we deduce a version of Maschke＇s Theorem for （H, B）-Hopf modules associated with a weak Hopf algebra H and a right H-comodule algebra B.     

A class of new braided Hopf algebras

We give the necessary and sufficient conditions for a general crossed product algebra equipped with the usual tensor product coalgebra structure to be a Hopf algebra. Furthermore, we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the general crossed product Hopf algebra to be a braided Hopf algebra which generalizes some known results.     

L-R smash products for multiplier Hopf algebras

The theory of L-R smash product is extended to multiplier Hopf algebras and a sufficient condition for L-R smash product to be regular multiplier Hopf algebras is given. In particular, the result of the paper implies Delvaux＇s main theorem in the case of smash products.     

Monomial Hopf algebras over fields of positive characteristic

In this paper, we study the structures of monomial Hopf algebras over a field of positive characteristic. A necessary and sufficient condition for the monomial coalgebra Cd(n) to admit Hopf structures is given here, and if it is the case, all graded Hopf structures on Cd(n) are completely classified. Moreover, we construct a Hopf algebras filtration on Cd(n) which will help us to discuss a conjecture posed by Andruskiewitsch and Schneider. Finally combined with a theorem by Montgomery, we give the structure theorem for all monomial Hopf algebras.
