We recall the notion of a Hopf (co)quasigroup defined in \cite{Kl09} and define integration and Fourier Transforms on these objects analogous to those in the theory of Hopf algebras. Using the general Hopf module theory for Hopf…

A subalgebra pair of semisimple complex algebras B < A with inclusion matrix M is depth two if MM^t M < nM for some positive integer n and all corresponding entries. If A and B are the group algebras of finite group-subgroup pair H < G, the…

We introduce new polynomial invariants of a finite-dimensional semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra A over a field by using the braiding structures of A. We investigate basic properties of the polynomial invariants including stability…

The paper contains a description of the maximal ideal spaces (spectra) $\cM_A$ of bi-invariant function algebras $A$ on a compact group $G$. There are natural compatible structures in $\cM_A$: it is a compact topological semigroup with…

We discuss algebraic and representation theoretic structures in braided tensor categories C which obey certain finiteness conditions. Much interesting structure of such a category is encoded in a Hopf algebra H in C. In particular, the Hopf…

The adjunction between coalgebras and Hopf algebras, first described by Takeuchi, allows one to prove that the semi-abelian category of cocommutative Hopf algebras has enough $\mathcal E$-projective objects with respect to the class…

The natural problem we approach in the present paper is to show how the notion of formally smooth (co)algebra inside monoidal categories can substitute that of (co)separable (co)algebra in the study of splitting bialgebra homomorphisms.…

Given a a Hopf algebra $H$, its left coideal subalgebra $A$ and a non-zero multiplicative functional $\mu$ on $A$, we define the space of left $\mu$-integrals $L^A_\mu\subset A$. We observe that $\dim L^A_\mu=1$ if $A$ is a Frobenius…

We present a rich source of Hopf algebras starting from a cofinite central extension of a Noetherian Hopf algebra and a subgroup of the algebraic group of characters of the central Hopf subalgebra. The construction is transparent from a…

For a locally compact group $G$ we look at the group algebras $C_0(G)$ and $C_r^*(G)$, and we let $f\in C_0(G)$ act on $L^2(G)$ by the multiplication operator $M(f)$. We show among other things that the following properties are equivalent:…

We address the general classification problem of all stable associative product structures in the complex cobordism theory. We show how to reduce this problem to the algebraic one in terms of the Hopf algebra $S$ (the Landweber-Novikov…

These notes -- originating from a one-semester class by their second author at the University of Minnesota -- survey some of the most important Hopf algebras appearing in combinatorics. After introducing coalgebras, bialgebras and Hopf…

This is the first in a series of papers devoted to the theory of decomposition spaces, a general framework for incidence algebras and M\"obius inversion, where algebraic identities are realised by taking homotopy cardinality of equivalences…

We consider Frobenius algebras in the monoidal category of right comodules over a Hopf algebra $H$. If $H$ is a group Hopf algebra, we study a more general Frobenius type property and uncover the structure of graded Frobenius algebras.…

We give an introduction to the theory of weak Hopf algebras proposed recently as a coassociative alternative of weak quasi-Hopf algebras. We follow an axiomatic approach keeping as close as possible to the "classical" theory of Hopf…

We introduce a natural generalization of the definition of a symmetric Hopf algebroid, internal to any symmetric monoidal category with coequalizers that commute with the monoidal product. Motivation for this is the study of Heisenberg…

A strict 2-group is a 2-category with one object in which all morphisms and all 2-morphisms have inverses. 2-Groups have been studied in the context of homotopy theory, higher gauge theory and Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT). In the…

Localisation is an important technique in ring theory and yields the construction of various rings of quotients. Colocalisation in comodule categories has been investigated by some authors where the colocalised coalgebra turned out to be a…

In this paper we introduce the notion of a Hopf C*-algebra and construct the counit and antipode. A Hopf C*-algebra is a C*-algebra with comultiplication satisfying some extra condition which makes possible the construction of the counit…

Let $G$ be a real Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. Given a unitary representation $\pi$ of $G$, one obtains by differentiation a representation $d\pi$ of $\mathfrak g$ by unbounded, skew-adjoint operators. Representations of…
