We complete the classification of the 6-dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras, by proving that any such algebra is semisimple. As byproducts, we provide examples of 6-dimensional quasi-bialgebras that are not semisimple as algebras, as well as the concrete quasi-Hopf structures of the 6-dimensional semisimple quasi-Hopf algebras previously classified by Etingof and Gelaki in terms of their category of representations. In total there are 15 quasi-Hopf algebras in dimension 6 which are not pairwise twist equivalent.
We introduce quasi-Hopf $*$-algebras i.e. quasi-Hopf algebras equipped with a conjugation (star) operation. The definition of quasi-Hopf $*$-algebras proposed ensures that the class of quasi-Hopf $*$-algebras is closed under twisting and additionally, that any Hopf $*$-algebra becomes a quasi-Hopf $*$-algebra via twisting. The basic properties of these algebras are developed. The relationship between the antipode and star structure is investigated. Quasi-triangular quasi-Hopf $*$-algebras are introduced and studied.
We prove the quasi-Hopf algebra version of the Nichols-Zoeller theorem: A finite-dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra is free over any quasi-Hopf subalgebra.
We introduce and investigate the basic properties of an involutory (dual) quasi-Hopf algebra. We also study the representations of an involutory quasi-Hopf algebra and prove that an involutory dual quasi-Hopf algebra with non-zero integral is cosemisimple.
Let H be a finite-dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra. We show for each quotient quasibialgebra Q of H that Q is a quasi-Hopf algebra whose dimension divides the dimension of H.
We construct an explicit isomorphism between the quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra $D^ω(H)$ defined in \cite{bp} and a certain quantum double quasi-Hopf algebra. We give also new characterizations for a quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra to be ribbon and use them to construct some ribbon elements for $D^ω(H)$.
Let $m$ a positive integer, not divisible by 2,3,5,7. We generalize the classification of basic quasi-Hopf algebras over cyclic groups of prime order given in \cite{EG3} to the case of cyclic groups of order $m$. To this end, we introduce a family of non-semisimple radically graded quasi-Hopf algebras $A(H,s)$, constructed as subalgebras of Hopf algebras twisted by a quasi-Hopf twist, which are not twist equivalent to Hopf algebras. Any basic quasi-Hopf algebra over a cyclic group of order $m$ is either semisimple, or is twist equivalent to a Hopf algebra or a quasi-Hopf algebra of type $A(H,s…
We analyze some relations between quasi-Hopf smash products and certain twisted tensor products of quasialgebras. Along the way we obtain also some results of independent interest, such as a duality theorem for finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras and a universal property for generalized diagonal crossed products.
We introduce a notion of Hopf-Lie-Rinehart algebra and show that the universal algebra of a Hopf-Lie-Rinehart algebra acquires an ordinary Hopf algebra structure.
We define the notion of factorizable quasi-Hopf algebra by using a categorical point of view. We show that the Drinfeld double $D(H)$ of any finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra $H$ is factorizable, and we characterize $D(H)$ when $H$ itself is factorizable. Finally, we prove that any finite dimensional factorizable quasi-Hopf algebra is unimodular. In particular, we obtain that the Drinfeld double $D(H)$ is a unimodular quasi-Hopf algebra.
Let H be a quasi-Hopf algebra, a weak Hopf algebra or a braided Hopf algebra. Let B be an H-bicomodule algebra such that there exists a morphism of H-bicomodule algebras v:H\rightarrow B. Then we can define an object B^{co(H)} which is a left-left Yetter-Drinfeld module over H, having extra properties that allow to make a smash product B^{co(H)}# H which is an H-bicomodule algebra, isomorphic to B.
Let p and q be distinct odd primes and assume k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We classify all quasitriangular Hopf algebras of dimension pq^2 over k, which are not simple as Hopf algebras. Moreover, we obtained all quasitriangular structures on these Hopf algebras.
We put the known results on the antipode of a usual quasitriangular Hopf algebra into the framework of multiplier Hopf algebras. We illustrate with examples which can not be obtained using classical Hopf Algebras. The focus of the present paper lies on the class of the so-called group cograded multiplier Hopf algebras. By doing so, we bring the results of quasitriangular Hopf group-coalgebras (as introduced by Turaev) to the more general framework of multiplier Hopf algebras.
In [4], some quasi-Hopf algebras of dimension $n^{3}$, which can be understood as the quasi-Hopf analogues of Taft algebras, are constructed. Moreover, the quasi-Hopf analogues of generalized Taft algebras are considered in [7], where the language of the dual of a quasi-Hopf algebra is used. The Drinfeld doubles of such quasi-Hopf algebras are computed in this paper. The authors in [5] shew that the Drinfeld double of a quasi-Hopf algebra of dimension $n^{3}$ constructed in [4] is always twist equivalent to Lusztig's small quantum group $u_q(sl_2)$ if $n$ is odd. Based on computations and anal…
We determine finite-dimensional Hopf algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, whose Hopf coradical is isomorphic to a non-pointed basic Hopf algebra of dimension $24$ and the infinitesimal braidings are indecomposable objects. In particular, we obtain families of new finite-dimensional Hopf algebras without the dual Chevalley property.
In this paper we show that weak Hopf (co)quasigroups can be characterized by a Galois-type condition. Taking into account that this notion generalizes the ones of Hopf (co)quasigroup and weak Hopf algebra, we obtain as a consequence the first fundamental theorem for Hopf (co)quasigroups and a characterization of weak Hopf algebras in terms of bijectivity of a Galois-type morphism (also called fusion morphism).
In this paper, we present a general method for constructing finite-dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras from finite abelian groups and braided vector spaces of Cartan type. The study of such quasi-Hopf algebras leads to the classification of finite-dimensional radically graded basic quasi-Hopf algebras over abelian groups with dimensions not divisible by $2,3,5,7$ and associators given by abelian $3$-cocycles. As special cases , the small quasi-quantum groups are introduced and studied. Many new explicit examples of finite-dimensional genuine quasi-Hopf algebras are obtained.
To every Hopf heap or quantum cotorsor of Grunspan a Hopf algebra of translations is associated. This translation Hopf algebra acts on the Hopf heap making it a Hopf-Galois co-object. Conversely, any Hopf-Galois co-object has the natural structure of a Hopf heap with the translation Hopf algebra isomorphic to the acting Hopf algebra. It is then shown that this assignment establishes an equivalence between categories of Hopf heaps and Hopf-Galois co-objects.
A quasi-Hopf algebra $H$ can be seen as a commutative algebra $A$ in the centre $\mathcal Z(H-Mod)$ of $H-Mod$. We show that the category of $A$-modules in $\mathcal Z(H-Mod)$ is equivalent (as a monoidal category) to $H-Mod$. This can be regarded as a generalization of the structure theorem of Hopf bimodules of a Hopf algebra to the quasi-Hopf setting.
We classify finite-dimensional Hopf algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero whose Hopf coradcial is isomorphic to the smallest non-pointed basic Hopf algebra, under the assumption that the diagrams are strictly graded. In particular, we obtain some new Nichols algebras of non-diagonal type and new finite-dimensional Hopf algebras without the dual Chevalley property.
We introduce the notions of sovereign, spherical and balanced quasi-Hopf algebra. We investigate the connections between these, as well as their connections with the class of pivotal, involutory and ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras, respectively. Examples of balanced and ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras are obtained from a sort of double construction which associates to a braided category (resp. rigid braided) a balanced (resp. ribbon) one.
The quiver Hopf algebras are classified by means of ramification systems with irreducible representations. This leads to the classification of Nichols algebras over group algebras and pointed Hopf algebras of type one.
As is known to all, Hopf-Galois objects have a significant research value for analyzing tensor categories of comodules and classification questions of pointed Hopf algebras, and are natural generalizations of Hopf algebras with a Galois-theoretic flavour. In this paper, we mainly prove a criterion for an Ore extension of a Hopf-Galois algebra to be a Hopf-Galois algebra, and introduce the conception of Poisson Hopf-Galois algebras, and establish the relationship between Poisson Hopf-Galois algebras and Poisson Hopf algebras. Moreover, we study Poisson Hopf-Galois structures on Poisson polynomi…
We show that bicrossed product Hopf algebras arising from exact factorizations in almost simple finite groups, so in particular, in simple and symmetric groups, admit no quasitriangular structure.
The class of graded elementary quasi-Hopf algebras of tame type is classified. Combining with our previous work [19], this completes the trichotomy for such class of algebras according to their representation types. In addition, new examples of genuine elementary quasi-Hopf algebras, and accordingly finite pointed tensor categories, are provided.
Let $H$ be a finite dimensional semisimple Hopf algebra and $R$ a braided Hopf algebra in the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over $H$. When $R$ is a Calabi-Yau algebra, a necessary and sufficient condition for $R#H$ to be a Calabi-Yau Hopf algebra is given. Conversely, when $H$ is the group algebra of a finite group and the smash product $R#H$ is a Calabi-Yau algebra, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the algebra $R$ to be a Calabi-Yau algebra.
Let H be a finite-dimensional quasibialgebra. We show that H is a quasi-Hopf algebra if and only if the category of its finite-dimensional left modules is rigid if and only if a structure theorem for Hopf modules over H holds. We also show that a dual structure theorem for Hopf modules over a coquasibialgebra H holds if and only if the category of finite-dimensional right H-comodules is rigid; this is not equivalent to H being a coquasi-Hopf algebra.
We investigate a Hopf algebra structure on the cotensor coalgebra associated to a Hopf bimodule algebra which contains universal version of Clifford algebras and quantum groups as examples. It is shown to be the bosonization of the quantum quasi-shuffle algebra built on the space of its right coinvariants. The universal property and a Rota-Baxter algebra structure are established on this new algebra.
We show that all possible categories of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over a quasi-Hopf algebra $H$ are isomorphic. We prove also that the category $\yd^{\rm fd}$ of finite dimensional left Yetter-Drinfeld modules is rigid and then we compute explicitly the canonical isomorphisms in $\yd^{\rm fd}$. Finally, we show that certain duals of $H_0$, the braided Hopf algebra introduced in \cite{bn,bpv}, are isomorphic as braided Hopf algebras if $H$ is a finite dimensional triangular quasi-Hopf algebra.
We construct quasi-Hopf algebras associated with a semisimple Lie algebra, a complex curve and a rational differential. This generalizes our previous joint work with V. Rubtsov (Israel J. Math. (1999) and q-alg/9608005).
Let $\mathds{k}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We determine all finite-dimensional Hopf algebras over $\mathds{k}$ whose Hopf coradical is isomorphic to the unique $12$-dimensional Hopf algebra $\mathcal{C}$ without the dual Chevalley property, such that the diagrams are strictly graded and the corresponding infinitesimal braidings are indecomposable objects in ${}_{\mathcal{C}}^{\mathcal{C}}\mathcal{YD}$. In particular, we obtain new Nichols algebras of dimension $18$ and $36$ and two families of new Hopf algebras of dimension $216$.
A detailed presentation of the results obtained during my Ph.D. research. The main investigations concern explicit descriptions of classes of finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras and their quasi-isomorphism types.
We define a series of Artin-Schelter Gorenstein Hopf algebras $H_β$ with injective dimensions 3. Radford's Hopf algebra and Gelaki's Hopf algebra are homomorphic images of $H_β$. We determine its Grothendieck ring $G_0(H_β)$. Meanwhile we can obtain Grothendieck rings of Gelaki's Hopf algebras and Radford's Hopf algebras $U_{(N,ν,ω)}$ in \cite{R}, and non-isomorphic Hopf algebras with isomorphic Grothendieck rings.
We present examples of color Hopf algebras, i.e. Hopf algebras in color categories (braided tensor categories with braiding induced by a bicharacter on an abelian group), related with quantum doubles of pointed Hopf algebras. We also discuss semisimple color Hopf algebras.
We present characterizations of braided co-Frobenius Hopf algebras in the braided tensor category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over a Hopf algebra extending those already known for co-Frobenius Hopf algebras.
We investigate the equivariant and Hopf-cyclic cohomology of module algebras over Hopf algebroids and derive their Morita invariance. For this, we use the tools developed by McCarthy for $k$-linear categories and subsequently by Kaygun and Khalkhali for a certain class of categories, called as $H$-categories, for a Hopf algebra $H$.
We construct universal twists connecting the centrally extended double Yangian DY(sl(2))_c with deformed double Yangians DY_r(sl(2))_c, thereby establishing the quasi-Hopf structures of the latter.
Let $H$ be the dual of $16$-dimensional nontrivial semisimple Hopf algebra $H_{b:1}$ in the classification work of Kashina \cite{K00}. We completely determine all finite-dimensional Nichols algebras satisfying $\mathcal{B}(N)\cong \bigotimes_{i\in I}\mathcal{B}(N_i)$, where $N=\bigoplus_{i\in I}N_i$, each $N_i$ is a simple object in $_H^H\mathcal{YD}$. Under this assumption, we classify all those Hopf algebras of finite-dimensional growth from the semisimple Hopf algebra $H$ via the relevant Nichols algebras $\mathcal B(N)$.
This note extends Radford's formula for the fourth power of the antipode of a finite dimensional Hopf algebra to co-Frobenius Hopf algebras and studies equivalent conditions to a Hopf algebra being involutory for finite dimensional and co-Frobenius Hopf algebras.
The construction of link polynomials associated with finite dimensional representations of ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras is discussed in terms of the formulation of an appropriate Markov trace. We then show that this Markov trace is invariant under twisting of the quasi-Hopf structure, which in turn implies twisting invariance of the associated link polynomials.
Let p be a prime, and let RG(p) denote the set of equivalence classes of radically graded finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras over C, whose radical has codimension p. The purpose of this paper is to classify finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras A whose radical is a quasi-Hopf ideal and has codimension p; that is, A with grA in RG(p), where grA is the associated graded algebra taken with respect to the radical filtration on A. The main result of this paper is the following theorem: Let A be a finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra whose radical is a quasi-Hopf ideal of prime codimension p. …
If H is a finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra and A is a left H-module algebra, we prove that there is a Morita context connecting the smash product A#H and the subalgebra of invariants A^{H}. We define also Galois extensions and prove the connection with this Morita context, as in the Hopf case.
We generalize the fundamental structure Theorem on Hopf (bi)-modules by Larson and Sweedler to quasi-Hopf algebras H. If H is finite dimensional this proves the existence and uniqueness (up to scalar multiples) of integrals in H. Among other applications we prove a Maschke type Theorem for diagonal crossed products as constructed by the authors.
We study the Calabi-Yau property of pointed Hopf algebra $U(\mc{D},\lmd)$ of finite Cartan type. It turns out that this class of pointed Hopf algebras constructed by N. Andruskiewitsch and H.-J. Schneider contains many Calabi-Yau Hopf algebras. To give concrete examples of new Calabi-Yau Hopf algebras, we classify the Calabi-Yau pointed Hopf algebras $U(\mc{D},\lmd)$ of dimension less than 5.
We study a natural construction of Hopf algebra quotients canonically associated to an R-matrix in a finite dimensional Hopf algebra. We apply this construction to show that a quasitriangular Hopf algebra whose dimension is odd and square-free is necessarily cocommutative.
It is shown in math.QA/0310253 that a finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra over the complex numbers with radical of codimension 2 is twist equivalent to a Nichols Hopf algebra, or to a lifting of one of four special quasi-Hopf algebras of dimensions 2, 8, 8, and 32. The purpose of this paper is to construct new finite dimensional basic quasi-Hopf algebras A(q) of dimension n^3, n>2, parametrized by primitive roots of unity q of order n^2, with radical of codimension n, which generalize the construction of the basic quasi-Hopf algebras of dimension 8 given in math.QA/0310253. These quasi-Hopf …
We show that a large class of finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras is quasi-isomorphic to their associated graded version coming from the coradical filtration, i.e. they are 2-cocycle deformations of the latter. This supports a slightly specialized form of a conjecture of Masuoka.
We investigate the transformed Hopf algebras in Hopf Galois extensions. The final goal of this paper is to introduce certain triangular Hopf algebras associated with restricted Frobenius Lie algebras over a field of characteristic $p>0$.
We find a generalization of the restricted PBW basis for pointed Hopf algebras over abelian groups constructed by Kharchenko. We obtain a factorization of the Hilbert series for a wide class of graded Hopf algebras. These factors are parametrized by Lyndon words, and they are the Hilbert series of certain graded Hopf algebras. Key words: graded Hopf algebra, Nichols algebra, Lyndon word
We determine and classify all finite-dimensional Hopf algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero whose Hopf coradicals are isomorphic to dual Radford algebras of dimension $4p$ for a prime $p>5$. In particular, we obtain families of new examples of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras without the dual Chevalley property.
The notions of Galois and cleft extensions are generalized for coquasi-Hopf algebras. It is shown that such an extension over a coquasi-Hopf algebra is cleft if and only if it is Galois and has the normal basis property. A Schneider type theorem is proven for coquasi-Hopf algebras with bijective antipode. As an application, we generalize Schauenburg's bialgebroid construction for coquasi-Hopf algebras.
In this paper we give two general formulae for the Müger centralizers in the category of representations of a semisimple quasitriangular Hopf algebra. The first formula is given in the terms of the Drinfeld map associated to the quasitriangular Hopf algebra. The second formula for the Müger centralizer is given in the terms of the conjugacy classes introduced by Cohen and Westreich in [J. Algebra 283 (2005), 42-62]. In the case of a factorizable Hopf algebra these formulae extend some particular cases obtained by the author in [Math. Z. 279 (2015), 227-240].
We generalize various properties of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over Hopf algebras to quasi-Hopf algebras. The dual of a finite dimensional Yetter-Drinfeld module is again a Yetter-Drinfeld module. The algebra $H_0$ in the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules that can be obtained by modifying the multiplication in a proper way is quantum commutative. We give a Structure Theorem for Hopf modules in the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules, and deduce the existence and uniqueness of integrals from it.
