Let $A$ and $H$ be two Hopf algebras. We shall classify up to an isomorphism that stabilizes $A$ all Hopf algebras $E$ that factorize through $A$ and $H$ by a cohomological type object ${\mathcal H}^{2} (A, H)$. Equivalently, we classify up…

We set up a homological algebra for N-complexes, which are graded modules together with a degree -1 endomorphism d satisfying d^N=0. We define Tor- and Ext-groups for N-complexes and we compute them in terms of their classical counterparts…

We classify the cosemisimple Hopf algebras whose corepresentation semi-ring is isomorphic to that of GL(2). This leads us to define a new family of Hopf algebras which generalize the quantum similitude group of a non-degenerate bilinear…

Let $A$ be a unital associative algebra over a field $k$, $E$ a vector space and $\pi : E \to A$ a surjective linear map with $V = {\rm Ker} (\pi)$. All algebra structures on $E$ such that $\pi : E \to A$ becomes an algebra map are…

We study the Lie algebra structure of the first Hochschild cohomology group of a finite dimensional monomial algebra A, in terms of the combinatorics of its quiver, in any characteristic. This allows us also to examine the identity…

This article studies the Lie algebra $Diff(K\Gamma)$ of derivations on the path algebra $K\Gamma$ of a quiver $\Gamma$ and the Lie algebra on the first Hochschild cohomology group $H^1(K\Gamma)$. We relate these Lie algebras to the…

We review the construction of the multiparametric quantum group $ISO_{q,r}(N)$ as a projection from $SO_{q,r}(N+2) $ and show that it is a bicovariant bimodule over $SO_{q,r}(N)$. The universal enveloping algebra $U_{q,r}(iso(N))$,…

We give the construction of a class of weak Hopf algebras (or quantum groupoids) associated to a matched pair of groupoids and certain cocycle data. This generalizes a now well-known construction for Hopf algebras, first studied by G. I.…

We investigate a two parameter quantum deformation of the universal enveloping orthosymplectic superalgebra U(osp(2/2)) by extending the Faddeev-Reshetikhin-Takhtajan formalism to the supersymetric case. It is shown that $U_{p,q}(osp(2/2))$…

We classify finite-dimensional Hopf algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero whose Hopf coradcial is isomorphic to the smallest non-pointed basic Hopf algebra, under the assumption that the diagrams are strictly…

In our previous paper math/0502157 we classified a large class of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras up to isomorphism. However the following problem was left open for Hopf algebras of of type $A,D$ or $E_6$, that is whose Cartan…

In this paper we classify, up to equivalence, all semisimple nontrivial Hopf algebras of dimension $2^{2n+1}$ for $n\geq 2$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ with the group of group-like elements isomorphic to…

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 show that a large class of finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras is quasi-isomorphic to their associated graded version coming from the coradical filtration, i.e. they are 2-cocycle deformations of the latter. This supports a slightly…

The topological Hochschild homology THH(R) of a commutative S-algebra (E_infty ring spectrum) R naturally has the structure of a commutative R-algebra in the strict sense, and of a Hopf algebra over R in the homotopy category. We show,…

A class of differential calculi is explored which is determined by a set of automorphisms of the underlying associative algebra. Several examples are presented. In particular, differential calculi on the quantum plane, the $h$-deformed…

Based on the vanishing of the second Hochschild cohomology group of the enveloping algebra of the Heisenberg algebra it is shown that differential algebras coming from quantum groups do not provide a non-trivial deformation of quantum…

The Heisenberg double $D_q(E_2)$ of the quantum Euclidean group $\mathcal{O}_q(E_2)$ is the smash product of $\mathcal{O}_q(E_2)$ with its Hopf dual $U_q(\mathfrak{e}_2)$. For the algebra $D_q(E_2)$, explicit descriptions of its prime,…

The two parameters quantum algebra $SU_{p,k}(2)$ can be obtained from a single parameter algebra $SU_q(2)$. This fact gives some relations between $SU_{p,k}(2)$ quantities and the corresponding ones of the $SU_q(2)$ algebra. In this paper…

In this paper we investigate the Lie algebra structure of the first relative Hochschild cohomology and its relation with the relative notion of fundamental group. Let $A,B$ be finite-dimensional basic $k$-algebras over an algebraically…
