There is a very general picture emerging that conjecturally describes what happens to the representation theory of a vertex algebra $\mathcal{V}$ if we pass to the kernel $\mathcal{W}$ of a set of screening operators. Namely, the screening…

For a Hopf algebra B with bijective antipode, we show that the Heisenberg double H(B^*) is a braided commutative Yetter--Drinfeld module algebra over the Drinfeld double D(B). The braiding structure allows generalizing H(B^*) =…

It is an important open problem whether the dimension of the Nichols algebra B(O,\rho) is finite when O is the class of the transpositions and \rho is the sign representation, with m>= 6. In the present paper, we discard most of the other…

This paper extends the foundational reflection theory of Nichols algebras to the setting of some certain coquasi-Hopf algebras. Our primary motivation arises from the classification of pointed finite-dimensional coquasi-Hopf algebras. We…

We attach to any linear endomorphism f of any vector space V a structure of prelie algebra on the shuffle algebra T(V); we describe its enveloping algebra, the dual Hopf algebra and the associated group of characters. For f=Id\_V, we find…

The classification of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras with group S_3 was finished in "The Nichols algebra of a semisimple Yetter-Drinfeld module", arXiv:0803.2430v1 [math.QA], by Andruskiewitsch, Heckenberger and Schneider: there…

We contribute to the classification of Hopf algebras with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension, GK-dimension for short, through the study of Nichols algebras over $\mathbb{D}_{\infty}$, the infinite dihedral group. We find all the irreducible…

An important step towards the classification of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras is the classification of finite-dimensional Nichols algebras arising from braided vector spaces of group type. This question is fundamentally linked…

We give an explicit presentation of a family of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero that constitute all liftings of Nichols algebras of diagonal Cartan type $B_{3}$ over a…

We relate shuffle algebras, as defined by Nichols, Feigin-Odesskii and Rosso, to perverse sheaves on symmetric products of the complex line (i.e., on the spaces of monic polynomials stratified by multiplicities of roots). More precisely, we…

Let $V$ be a braided vector space of diagonal type. Let $\mathfrak B(V)$, $\mathfrak L^-(V)$ and $\mathfrak L(V)$ be the Nichols algebra, Nichols Lie algebra and Nichols braided Lie algebra over $V$, respectively. We show that a monomial…

All finite dimensional Nichols algebras with diagonal type of connected finite dimensional Yetter-Drinfeld modules over finite cyclic group $\mathbb Z_n$ are found. It is proved that finite dimensional Nichols algebra over $\mathbb Z_2$ is…

It is shown that except in three cases conjugacy classes of classical Weyl groups $W(B_{n})$ and $W(D_{n})$ are of type ${\rm D}$. This proves that Nichols algebras of irreducible Yetter-Drinfeld modules over the classical Weyl groups…

These are lecture notes for an introductory course on Nichols algebras. As a main reference, I work with the book by Heckenberger and Schneider, but I want to take a distinct categorical perspective and try to develop the topic for an…

It is shown that if $\mathfrak B(V) $ is connected Nichols algebra of diagonal type with $\dim V>1$, then $\dim (\mathfrak L^-(V)) = \infty$ $($resp. $ \dim (\mathfrak L(V)) = \infty $$)$ $($ resp. $ \dim (\mathfrak B(V)) = \infty $$)$ if…

We show that Nichols algebras of most simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules over the projective special linear group over a finite field, corresponding to non-semisimple orbits, have infinite dimension. We spell out a new criterium to show that a…

We classify finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over finite nilpotent groups of odd order in group-theoretical terms. The main step is to show that the conjugacy classes of such finite groups are either abelian or of type C; this property…

Associated to each subset $J$ of the nodes $I$ of a Dynkin diagram is a triangular decomposition of the corresponding Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ into three subalgebras $\widetilde{\mathfrak{g}_{J}}$ (generated by $e_{j}$, $f_{j}$ for $j\in…

The quiver Hopf algebras are classified by means of ramification systems with irreducible representations. This leads to the classification of Nichols algebras over group algebras and pointed Hopf algebras of type one.

We give an explicit and essentially minimal list of defining relations of a Nichols algebra of diagonal type with finite root system. This list contains the well-known quantum Serre relations but also many new variations. A conjecture by…
