We study the Hopf property for wreath products of finitely generated groups, focusing on the case of an abelian base group. Our main result establishes a strong connection between this problem and Kaplansky's stable finiteness conjecture.…

We formulate the generation of finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras by group-like elements and skew-primitives in geometric terms. This is done through a more general study of connected and coconnected Hopf algebras inside a braided…

We explore questions of projectivity and tensor products of modules for finite dimensional Hopf algebras. We construct many classes of examples in which tensor powers of nonprojective modules are projective and tensor products of modules in…

We define the Hopf algebra structure on the Grothendieck group of finite-dimensional polynomial representations of $U_q \hat{gl}_N$ in the limit $N \to \infty$. The resulting Hopf algebra $Rep U_q \hat{gl}_\infty$ is a tensor product of its…

We apply the theory of finite dimensional weak C^*-Hopf algebras A as developed by G. B\"ohm, F. Nill and K. Szlach\'anyi to study reducible inclusion triples of von-Neumann algebras N \subset M \subset (M\cros\A). Here M is an A-module…

This is a survey on pointed Hopf algebras over algebraically closed fields of characteristic 0. We propose to classify pointed Hopf algebras $A$ by first determining the graded Hopf algebra $\gr A$ associated to the coradical filtration of…

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…

Let $G$ be a group and assume that $(A_p)_{p\in G}$ is a family of algebras with identity. We have a {\it Hopf $G$-coalgebra} (in the sense of Turaev) if, for each pair $p,q\in G$, there is given a unital homomorphism $\co_{p,q}:A_{pq}\to…

For a finite central extension $\tilde{G}$ of a classical $p$-adic reductive group, we consider the endomorphism algebra of some induced projective generator \`a la Bernstein of the category of smooth representations of $\tilde{G}$. In the…

Let $G$ be a group which admits a generating set consisting of finite order elements. We prove that any Hopf algebra which factorizes through the Taft algebra and the group Hopf algebra $K[G]$ (equivalently, any bicrossed product between…

The unified product was defined in \cite{am3} related to the restricted extending structure problem for Hopf algebras: a Hopf algebra $E$ factorizes through a Hopf subalgebra $A$ and a subcoalgebra $H$ such that $1\in H$ if and only if $E$…

The aim of this paper is an algebraic study of the Hopf algebra H_R of rooted trees, which was introduced in \cite{Kreimer1,Connes,Broadhurst,Kreimer2}. We first construct comodules over H_R from finite families of primitive elements.…

A modular tensor category is a non-degenerate ribbon finite tensor category. And a ribbon factorizable Hopf algebra is exactly the Hopf algebra whose finite-dimensional representations form a modular tensor category. The goal of this paper…

We classify finite-dimensional complex Hopf algebras $A$ which are pointed, that is, all of whose irreducible comodules are one-dimensional, and whose group of group-like elements $G(A)$ is abelian such that all prime divisors of the order…

Let $H$ be a semisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathbbm{k}$ of characteristic $p>\dim_{\mathbbm{k}}(H)^{1/2}$ and $p\nmid 2\dim_{\mathbbm{k}}(H)$. In this paper, we consider the smash product semisimple Hopf…

Reidemeister (or twisted conjugacy) classes are considered in restricted wreath products of the form $G\wr \mathbb{Z}^k$, where $G$ is a finite group. For an automorphism $\varphi$ of finite order (supposed to be the same for the torsion…

Let $G$ be a {\it finite group}. Consider the algebra $A$ of all complex functions on G (with pointwise product). Define a coproduct $\Delta$ on A by $\Delta(f)(p,q)=f(pq)$ where $f\in A$ and $p,q\in G$. Then $(A,\Delta)$ is a Hopf algebra.…

We discuss algebraic and representation theoretic structures in braided tensor categories C which obey certain finiteness conditions. Much interesting structure of such a category is encoded in a Hopf algebra H in C. In particular, the Hopf…

Hopf algebras appear in connection with various problems in Pure Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, mainly through their categoriesof representations, which are examples of tensor categories. In recent years, there have been major…

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…
