Bicrossed Products for Finite Groups

We investigate one question regarding bicrossed products of finite groups which we believe has the potential of being approachable for other classes of algebraic objects (algebras, Hopf algebras). The problem is to classify the groups that can be written as bicrossed products between groups of fixed isomorphism types. The groups obtained as bicrossed products of two finite cyclic groups, one being of prime order, are described.     

Finite GK-dimensional pre-Nichols algebras of super and standard type

We prove that finite GK-dimensional pre-Nichols algebras of super and standard type are quotients of the corresponding distinguished pre-Nichols algebras, except when the braiding matrix is of type super A and the dimension of the braided vector space is three. For these two exceptions we explicitly construct substitutes as braided central extensions of the corresponding pre-Nichols algebras by a polynomial ring in one variable. Via bosonization this gives new examples of finite GK-dimensional Hopf algebras.     

Graded Quantum Groups and Quasitriangular Hopf Group-Coalgebras

ABSTRACT

Starting from a Hopf algebra endowed with an action of a group π by Hopf automorphisms, we construct (by a “twisted” double method) a quasitriangular Hopf π-coalgebra. This method allows us to obtain non-trivial examples of quasitriangular Hopf π-coalgebras for any finite group π and for infinite groups π such as GL _n (𝕂). In particular, we define the graded quantum groups, which are Hopf π-coalgebras for π = ?[[h]] ^l and generalize the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum enveloping algebras.     

Extensions of quantum enveloping algebras

In this paper, we define a class of extended quantum enveloping algebras U _q (f(K, J)) and some new Hopf algebras, which are certain extensions of quantum enveloping algebras by a Hopf algebra H. This construction generalizes some well-known extensions of quantum enveloping algebras by a Hopf algebra and provides a large of new noncommutative and noncocommutative Hopf algebras.     

Two-Parameter Quantum Groups and Drinfel'd Doubles

We investigate two-parameter quantum groups corresponding to the general linear and special linear Lie algebras and . We show that these quantum groups can be realized as Drinfel'd doubles of certain Hopf subalgebras with respect to Hopf pairings. Using the Hopf pairing, we construct a corresponding R-matrix and a quantum Casimir element. We discuss isomorphisms among these quantum groups and connections with multiparameter quantum groups.

Finite Presentability and the Homological Type FP m for a Class of Hopf Algebras

We define and study the property finite presentability in the category  of Hopf algebras that are smash product of universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra by a group algebra. We show that for such Hopf algebras finite presentability is equivalent with finite presentability as an associative k-algebra.     

Hopf algebra deformations of binary polyhedral groups

We show that semisimple Hopf algebras having a self-dual faithful irreducible comodule of dimension 2 are always obtained as abelian extensions with quotient Z2. We prove that nontrivial Hopf algebras arising in this way can be regarded as deformations of binary polyhedral groups and describe its category of representations. We also prove a strengthening of a result of Nichols and Richmond on cosemisimple Hopf algebras with a two-dimensional irreducible comodule in the finite-dimensional context. Finally, we give some applications to the classification of certain classes of semisimple Hopf algebras.     

Finite dimensional Nichols algebras over certain p-groups

We investigate pointed Hopf algebras over finite nilpotent groups of odd order, with nilpotency class 2. For such a group G, we show that if its commutator subgroup coincides with its center, then there exists no non-trivial finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebra with kG as its coradical. We apply these results to non-abelian groups of order p³, p⁴ and p⁵, and list all the pointed Hopf algebras of order p⁶, whose group of grouplikes is non-abelian.     

Frobenius-Schur Indicators for Some Fusion Categories Associated to Symmetric and Alternating Groups

We calculate Frobenius-Schur indicator values for some fusion categories obtained from inclusions of finite groups \(H\subset G\), where more concretely G is symmetric or alternating, and H is a symmetric, alternating or cyclic group. Our work is strongly related to earlier results by Kashina-Mason-Montgomery, Jedwab-Montgomery, and Timmer for bismash product Hopf algebras obtained from exact factorizations of groups. We can generalize some of their results, settle some open questions and offer shorter proofs; this already pertains to the Hopf algebra case, while our results also cover fusion categories not associated to Hopf algebras.     

Algebraic properties of quantum quasigroups

Quantum quasigroups provide a self-dual framework for the unification of quasigroups and Hopf algebras. This paper furthers the transfer program, investigating extensions to quantum quasigroups of various algebraic features of quasigroups and Hopf algebras. Part of the difficulty of the transfer program is the fact that there is no standard model-theoretic procedure for accommodating the coalgebraic aspects of quantum quasigroups. The linear quantum quasigroups, which live in categories of modules under the direct sum, are a notable exception. They form one of the central themes of the paper.From the theory of Hopf algebras, we transfer the study of grouplike and setlike elements, which form separate concepts in quantum quasigroups. From quasigroups, we transfer the study of conjugate quasigroups, which reflect the triality symmetry of the language of quasigroups. In particular, we construct conjugates of cocommutative Hopf algebras. Semisymmetry, Mendelsohn, and distributivity properties are formulated for quantum quasigroups. We classify distributive linear quantum quasigroups that furnish solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation. The transfer of semisymmetry is designed to prepare for a quantization of web geometry.     

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.     

Graded Associative Conformal Algebras of Finite Type

In this paper, we consider graded associative conformal algebras. The class of these objects includes pseudo-algebras over non-cocommutative Hopf algebras of regular functions on some linear algebraic groups. In particular, an associative conformal algebra which is graded by a finite group Γ is a pseudo-algebra over the coordinate Hopf algebra of a linear algebraic group G such that the identity component G ⁰ is the affine line and G/G ⁰???Γ. A classification of simple and semisimple graded associative conformal algebras of finite type is obtained.     

Classification of arithmetic root systems

Arithmetic root systems are invariants of Nichols algebras of diagonal type with a certain finiteness property. They can also be considered as generalizations of ordinary root systems with rich structure and many new examples. On the other hand, Nichols algebras are fundamental objects in the construction of quantized enveloping algebras, in the noncommutative differential geometry of quantum groups, and in the classification of pointed Hopf algebras by the lifting method of Andruskiewitsch and Schneider. In the present paper arithmetic root systems are classified in full generality. As a byproduct many new finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras are obtained.     

Multiple Noncommutative Tori and Hopf Algebras

Abstract

We derive the Kac-Paljutkin finite-dimensional Hopf algebras as finite fibrations of the quantum double torus and generalize the construction for quantum multiple tori.     

Ore Extensions of Multiplier Hopf Algebras

The goal of this article is to generalize the theory of Hopf–Ore extensions on Hopf algebras to multiplier Hopf algebras. First the concept of a Hopf–Ore extension of a multiplier Hopf algebra is introduced. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for Ore extensions to become a multiplier Hopf algebra. Finally, *-structures are constructed on Hopf–Ore extensions, and certain isomorphisms between Hopf–Ore extensions are discussed.     

An Algebraic Framework for Group Duality

A Hopf algebra is a pair (A, Δ) whereAis an associative algebra with identity andΔa homomorphism formAtoA⊗Asatisfying certain conditions. If we drop the assumption thatAhas an identity and if we allowΔto have values in the so-called multiplier algebraM(A⊗A), we get a natural extension of the notion of a Hopf algebra. We call this a multiplier Hopf algebra. The motivating example is the algebra of complex functions with finite support on a group with the comultiplication defined as dual to the product in the group. Also for these multiplier Hopf algebras, there is a natural notion of left and right invariance for linear functionals (called integrals in Hopf algebra theory). We show that, if such invariant functionals exist, they are unique (up to a scalar) and faithful. For a regular multiplier Hopf algebra (A, Δ) (i.e., with invertible antipode) with invariant functionals, we construct, in a canonical way, the dual (Â, Δ). It is again a regular multiplier Hopf algebra with invariant functionals. It is also shown that the dual of (Â, Δ) is canonically isomorphic with the original multiplier Hopf algebra (A, Δ). It is possible to generalize many aspects of abstract harmonic analysis here. One can define the Fourier transform; one can prove Plancherel's formula. Because any finite-dimensional Hopf algebra is a regular multiplier Hopf algebra and has invariant functionals, our duality theorem applies to all finite-dimensional Hopf algebras. Then it coincides with the usual duality for such Hopf algebras. But our category of multiplier Hopf algebras also includes, in a certain way, the discrete (quantum) groups and the compact (quantum) groups. Our duality includes the duality between discrete quantum groups and compact quantum groups. In particular, it includes the duality between compact abelian groups and discrete abelian groups. One of the nice features of our theory is that we have an extension of this duality to the non-abelian case, but within one category. This is shown in the last section of our paper where we introduce the algebras of compact type and the algebras of discrete type. We prove that also these are dual to each other. We treat an example that is sufficiently general to illustrate most of the different features of our theory. It is also possible to construct the quantum double of Drinfel'd within this category. This provides a still wider class of examples. So, we obtain many more than just the compact and discrete quantum within this setting.     

Generalized braided quantum groups

A generalization of Hopf algebras (quantum groups), and braided-Hopf algebras (braided quantum groups) in which the multiplicativity axiom for the counit is dropped, is presented. The generalization overcomes an inherent geometrical inhomogeneity of standard quantum groups and braided quantum groups, in the sense of allowing completely ‘pointless’ objects. All braid-type equations appear as a consequence of deeper axioms. Braided counterparts of basic algebraic relations between fundamental entities of the standard theory are found.     

Finite Block Theory and Hopf Algebra Actions

A ring is said to have finite block theory if it can be written as the finite direct sum of indecomposable subrings. In the paper, algebras R are acted on by Hopf algebras H. We prove a series of going up and going down results analyzing when R and its subalgebra of invariants R ^H have finite block theory. We also provide counterexamples when the hypotheses of our main results are weakened. Presented by D. Passman
