Hopf algebroids are generalization of Hopf algebras over non-commutative base rings. It consists of a left- and a right-bialgebroid structure related by a map called the antipode. However, if the base ring of a Hopf algebroid is commutative…

We propose an algebraic study of the simple graph isomorphism problem. We define a Hopf algebra from an explicit realization of its elements as formal power series. We show that these series can be evaluated on graphs and count occurrences…

Descents in permutations or words are defined from the relative position of two consecutive letters. We investigate a statistic involving patterns of k consecutive letters, and show that it leads to Hopf algebras generalizing noncommutative…

Recall that a finite group is called perfect if it does not have non-trivial 1-dimensional representations (over the field of complex numbers C). By analogy, let us say that a finite dimensional Hopf algebra H over C is perfect if any…

Hopf algebras, most generally in a semisimple abelian symmetric monoidal category, are here supposed to be commutative but not to be of finite-type, and their (equivariant) smoothness are discussed. Given a Hopf algebra $H$ in a category…

A basis B of a finite dimensional Hopf algebra H is said to be positive if all the structure constants of H relative to B are non-negative. A quasi-triangular structure $R\in H\otimes H$ is said to be positive with respect to B if it has…

This is an introduction for algebraists to the theory of algebras and Hopf algebras in braided categories. Such objects generalise super-algebras and super-Hopf algebras, aswell as colour-Lie algebras. Basic facts about braided categories C…

We introduce the notions of Hopf quasigroup and Hopf coquasigroup $H$ generalising the classical notion of an inverse property quasigroup $G$ expressed respectively as a quasigroup algebra $k G$ and an algebraic quasigroup $k[G]$. We prove…

Using the standard filtration associated with a generalized lifting method, we determine all finite-dimensional Hopf algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero whose coradical generates a Hopf subalgebra isomorphic…

Many related products and coproducts (e.g. Hadamard, Cauchy, Kronecker, induction, internal, external, Solomon, composition, Malvenuto-Reutenauer, convolution, etc.) have been defined in the following objects : species, representations of…

Actions of semisimple Hopf algebras H over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero on commutative domains were classified recently by the authors. The answer turns out to be very simple- if the action is inner faithful, then H…

Let H be a finite dimensional non-semisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. If H has no nontrivial skew-primitive elements, we find some bounds for the dimension of H_1, the second term in the…

Action of finite-dimensional Hopf algebra $H$ on commutative $k-$algebra $A$ is considered. As a generalization of the well-known fact for finite groups S. Montgomery raised a problem in 1993 whether $A$ is integral over subalgebra of…

This paper is devoted to the study of the quasitriangularity of Hopf algebras via Hopf quiver approaches. We give a combinatorial description of the Hopf quivers whose path coalgebras give rise to coquasitriangular Hopf algebras. With a…

We establish a 3-manifold invariant for each finite-dimensional, involutory Hopf algebra. If the Hopf algebra is the group algebra of a group $G$, the invariant counts homomorphisms from the fundamental group of the manifold to $G$. The…

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…

We extend the decomposition conjecture to 2d quantum field theories with a gauged $\text{Rep}(H)$ symmetry category for $H$ a finite-dimensional semisimple Hopf algebra with $\text{Rep}(G)$ trivially-acting and $\text{Vec}(\Gamma)$ the…

Let H be a cosemisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field k which contains a simple subcoalgebra of dimension 9. We show that if H has no simple subcoalgebras of even dimension then H contains either a grouplike element with…

The article is devoted to the describtion of quasitriangular structures (universal R-matrices) on cocommutative Hopf algebras. It is known that such structures are concentrated on finite dimensional Hopf subalgebras. In particular,…

We show that every partial representation of a connected Hopf algebra is global. Some interesting classes of partial representations of smash product Hopf algebras are studied, and a description of the partial "Hopf" algebra if the first…
