Abstract

This article aims to contribute to the study of algebras with triangular decomposition over a Hopf algebra, as well as the BGG Category O. We study functorial properties of O across various setups. The first setup is over a skew group ring, involving a finite group Γ\Gamma acting on a regular triangular algebra AA. We develop Clifford theory for AΓA \rtimes \Gamma, and obtain results on block decomposition, complete reducibility, and enough projectives. O is shown to be a highest weight category when AA satisfies one of the "Conditions (S)"; the BGG Reciprocity formula is slightly different because the duality functor need not preserve each simple module. Next, we turn to tensor products of such skew group rings; such a product is also a skew group ring. We are thus able to relate four different types of Categories O; more precisely, we list several conditions, each of which is equivalent in any one setup, to any other setup - and which yield information about O.
