A fundamental step in the classification of finite-dimensional complex pointed Hopf algebras is the determination of all finite-dimensional Nichols algebras of braided vector spaces arising from groups. The most important class of braided…

We show that all finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras with the same diagram in the classification scheme of Andruskiewitsch and Schneider are cocycle deformations of each other. This is done by giving first a suitable characterization…

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…

We show that in a finite tensor category, the tensor product property holds for support varieties if and only if it holds between indecomposable periodic objects. We apply this to certain Hopf algebras in the form of skew group algebras. In…

We provide isomorphism results for Hopf algebras that are obtained as graded twistings of function algebras on finite groups by cocentral actions of cyclic groups. More generally , we also consider the isomorphism problem for…

Let $\mathds{k}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. We give the complete classification of pointed Hopf algebras over $\mathds{k}$ of dimension $p^2q$ for a prime number $q$. The result shows that there are finitely…

This paper introduces methods for classifying actions of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras on path algebras of quivers, and more generally on tensor algebras $T_B(V)$ where $B$ is semisimple. We work within the broader framework of finite…

Braided non-commutative differential geometry is studied. In particular we investigate the theory of (bicovariant) differential calculi in braided abelian categories. Previous results on crossed modules and Hopf bimodules in braided…

A detailed presentation of the results obtained during my Ph.D. research. The main investigations concern explicit descriptions of classes of finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras and their quasi-isomorphism types.

In this paper we classify the finite-dimensional pointed rank one Hopf algebras which are generated as algebras by the first element of the coradical filtration over a field of prime characteristic.

For each braided category $\mathcal{C}$ we show that, under mild hypotheses, there is an associated category of "half braided algebras" and their bimodules internal to $\mathcal{C}$ which is not only monoidal but even braided and balanced.…

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…

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…

We show that any pointed Hopf algebra with infinitesimal braiding associated to the conjugacy class of pi in S_n is infinite-dimensional, if either the order of pi is odd, or pi is a product of disjoint cycles of odd order except for…

We present techniques that allow to decide that the dimension of some pointed Hopf algebras associated with non-abelian groups is infinite. These results are consequences of arXiv:0803.2430v1. We illustrate each technique with applications.

We prove a variety results on tensor product factorizations of finite dimensional Hopf algebras (more generally Hopf algebras satisfying chain conditions in suitable braided categories). The results are analogs of well-known results on…

This is a contribution to the structure theory of finite pointed quasi-quantum groups. We classify all finite-dimensional connected graded pointed Majid algebras of rank two which are not twist equivalent to ordinary pointed Hopf algebras.

We briefly report on our result that the braided tensor product algebra of two module algebras $A_1,A_2$ of a quasitriangular Hopf algebra $H$ is equal to the ordinary tensor product algebra of $H_1$ with a subalgebra isomorphic to $A_2$…

We construct finite-dimensional Hopf algebras whose coradical is the group algebra of a central extension of an abelian group. They fall into families associated to a semisimple Lie algebra together with a Dynkin diagram automorphism. We…

We develop the theory of Hopf bimodules for a finite rigid tensor category C. Then we use this theory to define a distinguished invertible object D of C and an isomorphism of tensor functors ?^{**} and D tensor ^{**}? tensor D^{-1}. This…
