Abstract

Given a Hopf algebra HH and a counital 22-cocycle μ\mu on HH, Drinfeld introduced a notion of twist which deforms an HH-module algebra AA into a new algebra AμA_\mu. We show that when AA is a quadratic algebra, and HH acts on AA by degree-preserving endomorphisms, then the twist AμA_\mu is also quadratic. Furthermore, if AA is a Koszul algebra, then AμA_\mu is a Koszul algebra. As an application, we prove that the twist of the qq-quantum plane by the quasitriangular structure of the quantum enveloping algebra Uq(sl2)U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2) is a quadratic algebra equal to the q1q^{-1}-quantum plane.
