We construct a large family of ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras related to small quantum groups, with a factorizable R-matrix. Our main purpose is to obtain non-semisimple modular tensor categories for quantum groups at even roots of unity, where…

It has been shown in previous work that the modular group acts projectively on the center of a factorizable ribbon Hopf algebra. The center is the zeroth Hochschild cohomology group. In this article, we extend this projective action of the…

The set of primitive elements of a Hopf algebra in the braided category of group graded vector spaces (with a commutative group) carry the structure of a generalized Lie algebra. In particular the graded derivations of an associative…

We prove that the Drinfeld center $Z(\mathcal{C})$ of a pivotal finite tensor category $\mathcal{C}$ comes with the structure of a ribbon Grothendieck-Verdier category in the sense of Boyarchenko-Drinfeld. Phrased operadically, this makes…

We classify equivalence classes of Hopf algebra quotient pairs $(D,\theta)$ of the Drinfeld double $D(G)$ of a finite group scheme $G$ over an algebraically closed field $\mathbf{k}$ of characteristic $p\ge 0$, in terms of group…

Let $(\mathcal{C}, \otimes)$ be a monoidal dg-category. We construct a complex controlling the deformation of the monoidal structure on $\mathcal{C}$ together with the deformation of the underlying dg-category itself. We show that in the…

We propose the notion of quasi-abelian third cohomology of crossed modules, generalizing Eilenberg and MacLane's abelian cohomology and Ospel's quasi-abelian cohomology, and classify crossed pointed categories in terms of it. We apply the…

Let $H$ be a finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra over a field $k$ and ${\mathfrak A}$ a right $H$-comodule algebra in the sense of Hausser and Nill. We first show that on the $k$-vector space ${\mathfrak A}\ot H^*$ we can define an…

Given a braided tensor *-category C with conjugate (dual) objects and irreducible unit together with a full symmetric subcategory S we define a crossed product C\rtimes S. This construction yields a tensor *-category with conjugates and an…

Let s in S_n be a product of disjoint cycles of the same length, C the conjugacy class of s and rho an irreducible representation of the isotropy group of s. We prove that either the Nichols algebra B(C, rho) is infinite-dimensional, or the…

A class of left bialgebroids whose underlying algebra $A\sharp H$ is a smash product of a bialgebra $H$ with a braided commutative Yetter--Drinfeld $H$-algebra $A$ has recently been studied in relation to models of field theories on…

In this paper we study the relative tensor product of module categories over braided fusion categories using, in part, the notion of the relative center of a module category. In particular we investigate the canonical tensor category…

By extending some classical results known for groups and skew braces, we define and investigate central series of cocommutative Hopf braces. Both left and right central series are defined using a $\star$-product that measures the difference…

We prove that a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra with the dual Chevalley Property over a field of characteristic zero is quasi-isomorphic to a Radford-Majid bosonization whenever the third Hochschild cohomology group in the category of…

Let G be a split semisimple linear algebraic group over a field k0. Let E be a G-torsor over a field extension k of k0. Let h be an algebraic oriented cohomology theory in the sense of Levine-Morel. Consider a twisted form E/B of the…

We study exact module categories over the representation categories of finite-dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras. As a consequence we classify exact module categories over some families of pointed tensor categories with cyclic group of…
