Abstract

For a given entwining structure (A,C)ψ(A,C)_\psi involving an algebra AA, a coalgebra CC, and an entwining map ψ:CAAC\psi: C\otimes A\to A\otimes C, a category \MAC(ψ)\M_A^C(\psi) of right (A,C)ψ(A,C)_\psi-modules is defined and its structure analysed. In particular, the notion of a measuring of (A,C)ψ(A,C)_\psi to (\tA,\tC)\tpsi(\tA,\tC)_\tpsi is introduced, and certain functors between \MAC(ψ)\M_A^C(\psi) and \M\tA\tC(\tpsi)\M_\tA^\tC(\tpsi) induced by such a measuring are defined. It is shown that these functors are inverse equivalences iff they are exact (or one of them faithfully exact) and the measuring satisfies a certain Galois-type condition. Next, left modules EE and right modules Eˉ\bar{E} associated to a CC-Galois extension AA of BB are defined. These can be thought of as objects dual to fibre bundles with coalgebra CC in the place of a structure group, and a fibre VV. Cross-sections of such associated modules are defined as module maps EBE\to B or EˉB\bar{E}\to B. It is shown that they can be identified with suitably equivariant maps from the fibre to AA. Also, it is shown that a CC-Galois extension is cleft if and only if A=B\tensCA=B\tens C as left BB-modules and right CC-comodules. The relationship between the modules EE and Eˉ\bar{E} is studied in the case when VV is finite-dimensional and in the case when the canonical entwining map is bijective.
