We establish a bialgebra theory for anti-flexible algebras in this paper. We introduce the notion of an anti-flexible bialgebra which is equivalent to a Manin triple of anti-flexible algebras. The study of a special case of anti-flexible bialgebras leads to the introduction of anti-flexible Yang-Baxter equation in an anti-flexible algebra which is an analogue of the classical Yang-Baxter equation in a Lie algebra or the associative Yang-Baxter equation in an associative algebra. It is a unexpected consequence that both the anti-flexible Yang-Baxter equation and the associative Yang-Baxter equation have the same form. A skew-symmetric solution of anti-flexible Yang-Baxter equation gives an anti-flexible bialgebra. Finally the notions of an $\mathcal O$-operator of an anti-flexible algebra and a pre-anti-flexible algebra are introduced to construct skew-symmetric solutions of anti-flexible Yang-Baxter equation.
We introduce the concept of braided anti-flexible bialgebra and construct cocycle bicrossproduct anti-flexible bialgebras. As an application, we solve the extending problem for anti-flexible bialgebras by using some non-abelian cohomology theory.
In this paper, we derive pre-anti-flexible algebras structures in term of zero weight's Rota-Baxter operators defined on anti-flexible algebras, view pre-anti-flexible algebras as a splitting of anti-flexible algebras, introduce the notion of pre-anti-flexible bialgebras and establish equivalences among matched pair of anti-flexible algebras, matched pair of pre-anti-flexible algebras and pre-anti-flexible bialgebras. Investigation on special class of pre-anti-flexible bialgebras leads to the establishment of the pre-anti-flexible Yang-Baxter equation. Both dual bimodules of pre-anti-flexible …
In this work, we provide a q-generalization of flexible algebras and related bialgebraic structures, including center-symmetric (also called antiflexible) algebras, and their bialgebras. Their basic properties are derived and discussed. Their connection with known algebraic structures, previously developed in the literature, is established. A q-generalization of Myung theorem is given. Main properties related to bimodules, matched pairs and dual bimodules as well as their algebraic consequences are investigated and analyzed. Finally, the equivalence between q-generalized flexible algebras, the…
In this paper, we construct a bialgebra theory for associative conformal algebras, namely antisymmetric infinitesimal conformal bialgebras. On the one hand, it is an attempt to give conformal structures for antisymmetric infinitesimal bialgebras. On the other hand, under certain conditions, such structures are equivalent to double constructions of Frobenius conformal algebras, which are associative conformal algebras that are decomposed into the direct sum of another associative conformal algebra and its conformal dual as $\mathbb{C}[\partial]$-modules such that both of them are subalgebras an…
It is known that a dual quasi-bialgebra with antipode $H$, i.e. a dual quasi-Hopf algebra, fulfils a fundamental theorem for right dual quasi-Hopf $H$-bicomodules. The converse in general is not true. We prove that, for a dual quasi-bialgebra $H$, the structure theorem amounts to the existence of a suitable map $S:H\rightarrow H$ that we call a preantipode of $H$.
We introduce the bicategory of bialgebras with coverings (which can be thought of as coalgebra-indexed families of morphisms), and provide a motivating application to the transfer of formulas for primitives and antipode. Additionally, we study properties of this bicategory and various sub-bicategories, and describe some universal constructions. Finally, we generalize Nichols' result on bialgebra quotients of Hopf algebra, which gives conditions on when the resulting bialgebra quotient is a Hopf algebra.
We develop an algebraic theory of colored, semigrouplike-flavored and pathlike co-, bi- and Hopf algebras. This is the right framework in which to discuss antipodes for bialgebras naturally appearing in combinatorics, topology, number theory and physics. In particular, we can precisely give conditions for the invertibility of characters that is needed for renormalization in the formulation of Connes and Kreimer. These are met in the relevant examples. In order to construct antipodes, we discuss formal localization constructions and quantum deformations. These allow to define and explain the ap…
Rota-Baxter operators and bialgebras go hand in hand in their applications, such as in the Connes-Kreimer approach to renormalization and the operator approach to the classical Yang-Baxter equation. We establish a bialgebra structure that is compatible with the Rota-Baxter operator, called the Rota-Baxter antisymmetric infinitesimal (ASI) bialgebra. This bialgebra is characterized by generalizations of matched pairs of algebras and double constructions of Frobenius algebras to the context of Rota-Baxter algebras. The study of the coboundary case leads to an enrichment of the associative Yang-B…
Motivated by the Hopf algebra structures established on free commutative Rota-Baxter algebras, we explore Hopf algebra related structures on free commutative Nijenhuis algebras. Applying a cocycle condition, we first prove that a free commutative Nijenhuis algebra on a left counital bialgebra (in the sense that the right-sided counicity needs not hold) can be enriched to a left counital bialgebra. We then establish a general result that a connected graded left counital bialgebra is a left counital right antipode Hopf algebra in the sense that the antipode is also only right-sided. We finally a…
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.
The Structure Theorem for Hopf modules states that if a bialgebra $H$ is a Hopf algebra (i.e. it is endowed with a so-called antipode) then every Hopf module $M$ is of the form ${M}^{\mathrm{co}{H}}\otimes H$, where ${M}^{\mathrm{co}{H}}$ denotes the space of coinvariant elements in $M$. Actually, it has been shown that this result characterizes Hopf algebras: $H$ is a Hopf algebra if and only if every Hopf module $M$ can be decomposed in such a way. The main aim of this paper is to extend this characterization to the framework of quasi-bialgebras by introducing the notion of preantipode and b…
In this paper, we first construct a graded Lie algebra which characterizes Rota-Baxter operators on an anti-flexible algebra as Maurer-Cartan elements. Next, we study infinitesimal deformations of bimodules over anti-flexible algebras. We also consider compatible Rota-Baxter operators on bimodules over anti-flexible algebras. Finally, We define $\mathcal{ON}$-structures which give rise to compatible Rota-Baxter operators and vice-versa.
In the recent definition of Hom-Hopf algebras the antipode S is the relative Hominverse of the identity map with respect to the convolution product. We observe that some fundamental properties of the antipode of Hopf algebras and Hom-Hopf algebras, with the original definition, do not hold generally in the new setting. We show that the antipode is a relative Hom-anti algebra and a relative anti-coalgebra morphism. It is also relative Hom-unital, and relative Hom-counital. Furthermore if the twisting maps of multiplications and comultiplications are invertible then S is an anti-algebra and an a…
We propose a categorical interpretation of multiplier Hopf algebras, in analogy to usual Hopf algebras and bialgebras. Since the introduction of multiplier Hopf algebras by Van Daele in [A. Van Daele, Multiplier Hopf algebras, {\em Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.}, {\bf 342}(2), (1994) 917--932.] such a categorical interpretation has been missing. We show that a multiplier Hopf algebra can be understood as a coalgebra with antipode in a certain monoidal category of algebras. We show that a (possibly non-unital, idempotent, non-degenerate, $k$-projective) algebra over a commutative ring $k$ is a multip…
We consider the three-dimensional associative algebra H consisting of the 3x3 strictly upper triangular matrices whose the commutator is the Heisenberg Lie algebra. We determine the solutions of the Yang-Baxter associative equation in H. For the antisymmetric solutions, the corresponding bialgebraic structures, double constructions of Frobenius algebras and properties are given explicitly.Besides, we determine some related compatible dendriform algebras and solutions of their D-equations. Using symmetric solutions of these equations, we build the double constructions of related Connes cocycles…
Quantum bialgebras derivable from Uq(sl2) which contain idempotents and von Neumann regular Cartan-like generators are introduced and investigated. Various types of antipodes (invertible and von Neumann regular) on these bialgebras are constructed, which leads to a Hopf algebra structure and a von Neumann-Hopf algebra structure, respectively. For them, explicit forms of some particular R-matrices (also, invertible and von Neumann regular) are presented, and the latter respects the Pierce decomposition.
This article continues the study of concrete algebra-like structures in our polyadic approach, where the arities of all operations are initially taken as arbitrary, but the relations between them, the arity shapes, are to be found from some natural conditions ("arity freedom principle"). In this way, generalized associative algebras, coassociative coalgebras, bialgebras and Hopf algebras are defined and investigated. They have many unusual features in comparison with the binary case. For instance, both the algebra and its underlying field can be zeroless and nonunital, the existence of the uni…
