There is a natural homomorphism of Lie pseudoalgebras from local vector fields to local rotations on a Riemannian manifold. We address the question whether this homomorphism is unique and give a positive answer in the perturbative regime…

For any finite-dimensional Hopf algebra $A$ there exists a natural associative algebra homomorphism $D(A) \to H(A)$ between its Drinfeld double $D(A)$ and its Heisenberg double $H(A)$. We construct this homomorphism using a pair of…

Given a set of inequalities determined by homogeneous forms, the following intertwined results are established: (1) the volume of the real semi-algebraic domain determined by these inequalities is explicitly determined; it is shown to be…

We continue a study of separable equivalence from Hokkaido Mathematical Journal 24 (1995), 527-549. We prove that symmetric separable equivalent rings $A$ and $B$ are linked by a Frobenius bimodule ${}_AP_B$ such that $A$ is $P$-separable…

We show that semisimple Hopf algebras having a self-dual faithful irreducible comodule of dimension 2 are always obtained as abelian extensions with quotient Z_2. We prove that nontrivial Hopf algebras arising in this way can be regarded as…

Classifying Frobenius algebras is a key question that has been addressed in various contexts. The structure of finite-dimensional Frobenius algebras depends on the base field and the dimension of the algebra, leading to different…

Like its precursor this paper is concerned with the Hopf algebra of noncommutative symmetric functions and its graded dual, the Hopf algebra of quasisymmetric functions. It complements and extends the previous paper but is also…

A submonoid A of N^d has a natural order defined by a <= a + b for elements a and b of A. The Frobenius complex is the order complex of an open interval of A with respect to this order. In this paper, the homotopy type of the Frobenius…

Let $M$ be a sphere with handles and holes, $f:M\to\mathbb R^3$ an embedding, and $H_1=H_1(M;\mathbb Z)$. We study a simple isotopy invariant of $f$, the Seifert bilinear form $L(f):H_1\times H_1\to\mathbb Z$. Let $\cap:H_1\times…

We present a unified apoach to the study of separable and Frobenius algebras. The crucial observation is thsat both cases are related to the nonlinear equation $R^{12}R^{23}=R^{23}R^{13}=R^{13}R^{12}$, called the FS-equation. Given a…

A Frobenius manifold is a manifold with a flat metric and a Frobenius algebra structure on tangent spaces at points of the manifold such that the structure constants of multiplication are given by third derivatives of a potential function…

We investigate Frobenius algebras and symmetric algebras in the monoidal category of right comodules over a Hopf algebra $H$; for the symmetric property $H$ is assumed to be cosovereign. If $H$ is finite dimensional and $A$ is an…

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…

We study a Hopf algebra $H$, which is finitely generated and projective over a commutative ring $k$, as a $P$-Frobenius algebra. We define modular functions in this setting, and provide a complete proof of Radford's formula for the fourth…

Brown, O'Hagan, Zhang, and Zhuang gave a set of conditions on an automorphism $\sigma$ and a $\sigma$-derivation $\delta$ of a Hopf $k$-algebra $R$ for when the skew polynomial extension $T=R[x, \sigma, \delta]$ of $R$ admits a Hopf algebra…

It is shown in the paper that each Hecke symmetry R with the R-symmetric algebra freely generated by 3 commuting elements is determined by a bivector and a symmetric bilinear form on a 3-dimensional vector space. A general formula for such…

In this article we study Sobolev metrics of order one on diffeomorphism groups on the real line. We prove that the space $\operatorname{Diff}_{1}(\mathbb R)$ equipped with the homogenous Sobolev metric of order one is a flat space in the…

The zx-calculus and related theories are based on so-called interacting Frobenius algebras, where a pair of dagger-special commutative Frobenius algebras jointly form a pair of Hopf algebras. In this setting we introduce a generalisation of…

We show that many noetherian Hopf algebras A have a rigid dualising complex R with R isomorphic to ^{\nu}A^1 [d]. Here, d is the injective dimension of the algebra and \nu is a certain k-algebra automorphism of A, unique up to an inner…

We consider a natural question: "Is it true that each homotopy domination of a polyhedron over itself is a homotopy equivalence?" and a strongly related problem of K. Borsuk (1967): "Is it true that two ANR's homotopy dominating each other…
