In previous work the authors introduced a new class of modular quasi-Hopf algebras $D^{\omega}(G, A)$ associated to a finite group $G$, a central subgroup $A$, and a $3$-cocycle $\omega\in Z^3(G, C^x)$. In the present paper we propose a…

Given a pair of finite groups $F, G$ and a normalized 3-cocycle $\omega$ of $G$, where $F$ acts on $G$ as automorphisms, we consider quasi-Hopf algebras defined as a cleft extension $\Bbbk^G_\omega\#_c\,\Bbbk F$ where $c$ denotes some…

We prove several results concerning quasi-bialgebra morphisms $\mathcal{D}^\omega(G)\to\mathcal{D}^\eta(H)$ of twisted group doubles. We take a particular focus on the isomorphisms which are simultaneously isomorphisms…

Drinfeld showed that any finite dimensional Hopf algebra \G extends to a quasitriangular Hopf algebra \D(\G), the quantum double of \G. Based on the construction of a so--called diagonal crossed product developed by the authors, we…

We discuss relations between some category-theoretical notions for a finite tensor category and cointegrals on a quasi-Hopf algebra. Specifically, for a finite-dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra $H$, we give an explicit description of…

A quasi-Hopf algebra $H$ can be seen as a commutative algebra $A$ in the centre $\mathcal Z(H-Mod)$ of $H-Mod$. We show that the category of $A$-modules in $\mathcal Z(H-Mod)$ is equivalent (as a monoidal category) to $H-Mod$. This can be…

Let H be a finite-dimensional quasibialgebra. We show that H is a quasi-Hopf algebra if and only if the category of its finite-dimensional left modules is rigid if and only if a structure theorem for Hopf modules over H holds. We also show…

We introduce the quasi-Hopf superalgebras which are $Z_2$ graded versions of Drinfeld's quasi-Hopf algebras. We describe the realization of elliptic quantum supergroups as quasi-triangular quasi-Hopf superalgebras obtained from twisting the…

Inspired by the work of Radford, for $H$ an arbitrary quasi-Hopf algebra we describe all the Hopf algebras of dimension $2$ within the braided category of left Yetter-Drinfeld modules over $H$ and determine the biproduct quasi-Hopf algebras…

Let $H$ be a Hopf algebra. We consider $H$-equivariant modules over a Hopf module category $\mathcal C$ as modules over the smash extension $\mathcal C\# H$. We construct Grothendieck spectral sequences for the cohomologies as well as the…

We introduce a quantum double quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra $D(H)$ associated to any quasi-Hopf algebra $H$. The algebra structure is a cocycle double cross product. We use categorical reconstruction methods. As an example, we recover…

We start the general structure theory of not necessarily semisimple finite tensor categories, generalizing the results in the semisimple case (i.e. for fusion categories), obtained recently in our joint work with D.Nikshych. In particular,…

For a quasi-Hopf algebra $H$, a left $H$-comodule algebra $\mf{B}$ and a right $H$-module coalgebra $C$ we will characterize the category of Doi-Hopf modules ${}^C{\cal M}(H)_{\mf{B}}$ in terms of modules. We will also show that for an…

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…

Let $\mathsf{Rep}(H)$ be the category of finite-dimensional representations of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra $H$. Andruskiewitsch and Mombelli proved in 2007 that each indecomposable exact $\mathsf{Rep}(H)$-module category has form…

Let p be a prime, and let RG(p) denote the set of equivalence classes of radically graded finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras over C, whose radical has codimension p. The purpose of this paper is to classify finite dimensional quasi-Hopf…

This text collects useful results concerning the quasi-Hopf algebra $\D $. We give a review of issues related to its use in conformal theories and physical mathematics. Existence of such algebras based on 3-cocycles with values in $ {R} /…

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…

It is shown in math.QA/0310253 that a finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra over the complex numbers with radical of codimension 2 is twist equivalent to a Nichols Hopf algebra, or to a lifting of one of four special quasi-Hopf algebras of…

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…
