It is known that the vector space spanned by labeled rooted trees forms a Hopf algebra. Let k be a field and let R be a commutative k-algebra. Let H denote the Hopf algebra of rooted trees labeled using derivations D in Der(R). In this…

This paper generalizes the Drinfel'd twist to the multiplier Hopf algebra case. For a multiplier Hopf algebra $A$ with a twist $J$, we construct a new multiplier Hopf algebra $A^{J}$. Furthermore, if $A$ is quasitriangular, then $A^{J}$ is…

We describe certain quiver Hopf algebras by parameters. This leads to the classification of multiple Taft algebras as well as pointed Yetter-Drinfeld modules and their corresponding Nichols algebras. In particular, when the ground-field $k$…

Twisted homomorphisms of bialgebras are bialgebra homomorphisms from the first into Drinfeld twistings of the second. They possess a composition operation extending composition of bialgebra homomorphisms. Gauge transformations of twists,…

We say that a Hopf algebra H is semicocommutative if the right adjoint coaction factorizes through the tensor product of H with the center of H. For instance the commutative and the cocommutative Hopf algebras are semicocommutative. The…

The main properties of the crossed product in the category of Hopf algebras are investigated. Let $A$ and $H$ be two Hopf algebras connected by two morphism of coalgebras $\triangleright : H\ot A \to A$, $f:H\ot H\to A$. The crossed product…

Algebra extensions A < B where A is a left B-module such that the B-action extends the multiplication in A are ubiquitous. We encounter examples of such extensions in the study of group actions, group gradings or more general Hopf actions…

We study the notion of the $E$-center $\mathcal{Z}_E(\mathcal{M})$ of a $(\mathcal{C}, \mathcal{D})$-biactegory (or bimodule category) $\mathcal{M}$, relative to an op-monoidal functor $E: \mathcal{C} \to \mathcal{D}$. Specializing this…

Using equivalences of categories we provide isomorphisms between the Brauer groups of different Hopf algebras. As an example, we show that when k is a field of characteristic different from 2 the Brauer groups BC(k,H_4,r_t) for every dual…

We apply categorical machinery to the problem of defining anti-Yetter-Drinfeld modules for quasi-Hopf algebras. While a definition of Yetter-Drinfeld modules in this setting, extracted from their categorical interpretation as the center of…

We show that every finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebra over a finite simple Chevalley group, different from $PSL_2(q)$ with q= 3 mod 4 (and from $PSL_3(2)\simeq PSL_2(7)$), is isomorphic to the corresponding group algebra. To do this,…

We apply Majid's transmutation procedure to Hopf algebra maps $H \to \mathbb C[T]$, where $T$ is a compact abelian group, and explain how this construction gives rise to braided Hopf algebras over quotients of $T$ by subgroups that are…
