Abstract

Let D\mathcal{D} be the Drinfeld double of the bosonization B(V)#kG{\mathfrak B}(V)\#\Bbbk G of a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra B(V){\mathfrak B}(V) over a finite group GG. It is known that the simple D\mathcal{D}-modules are parametrized by the simple modules over D(G)\mathcal{D}(G), the Drinfeld double of GG. This parametrization can be obtained by considering the head L(λ)\mathsf{L}(\lambda) of the Verma module M(λ)\mathsf{M}(\lambda) for every simple D(G)\mathcal{D}(G)-module λ\lambda. In the present work, we show that the projective D\mathcal{D}-modules are filtered by Verma modules and the BGG Reciprocity [P(μ):M(λ)]=[M(λ):L(μ)][\mathsf{P}(\mu):\mathsf{M}(\lambda)]=[\mathsf{M}(\lambda):\mathsf{L}(\mu)] holds for the projective cover P(μ)\mathsf{P}(\mu) of L(μ)\mathsf{L}(\mu). We use graded characters to proof the BGG Reciprocity and obtain a graded version of it. Also, we show that a Verma module is simple if and only if it is projective. We also describe the tensor product between projective modules.

17 pages. v2: We add information about the tensor product between projective modules [Theorem 4.10]. We show that $\mathcal{D}$ is graded symmetric [Lemma 3.1] and hence a shift of grading is not needed in the graded version of the BGG Reciprocity [Corollary 3.6]. Minor changes in Section 4
