Abstract

Motivated by the study of von Neumann regular skew groups as carried out by Alfaro, Ara and del Rio in 1995 we investigate regular and biregular Hopf module algebras. If AA is an algebra with an action by an affine Hopf algebra HH, then any HH-stable left ideal of AA is a direct summand if and only if AHA^H is regular and the invariance functor ()H(-)^H induces an equivalence of AHA^H-Mod to the Wisbauer category of AA as A# H-module. Analogously we show a similar statement for the biregularity of AA relative to HH where AHA^H is replaced by R=Z(A)AHR=Z(A)\cap A^H using the module theory of AA as a module over AAopHA\otimes A^{op} \bowtie H the envelopping Hopf algebroid of AA and HH. We show that every two-sided HH-stable ideal of AA is generated by a central HH-invariant idempotent if and only if RR is regular and AmA_m is HH-simple for all maximal ideals mm of RR. Further sufficient conditions are given for A# H and AHA^H to be regular.
