We prove that, in case $A(c)$ = the FRT construction of a braided vector space $(V,c)$ admits a weakly Frobenius algebra $\mathfrak B$ (e.g. if the braiding is rigid and its Nichols algebra is finite dimensional), then the Hopf envelope of…
We describe how to find quantum determinants and antipode formulas from braided vector spaces using the FRT-construction and finite-dimensional Nichols algebras. It generalizes the construction of quantum function algebras using quantum…
We compute the quantum double, braiding and other canonical Hopf algebra constructions for the bicrossproduct Hopf algebra $H$ associated to the factorization of a finite group into two subgroups. The representations of the quantum double…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for two Hopf algebras presented as central extensions to be isomorphic, in a suitable setting. We then study the question of isomorphism between the Hopf algebras constructed in 0707.0070v1 as…
We consider the algebra isomorphism found by Frenkel and Ding between the RLL and the Drinfeld realizations of $U_q(\widehat{gl(2)})$. After we note that this is not a Hopf algebra isomorphism, we prove that there is a unique Hopf algebra…
A braided generalization of the concept of Hopf algebra (quantum group) is presented. The generalization overcomes an inherent geometrical inhomogeneity of quantum groups, in the sense of allowing completely pointless objects. All…
The Hopf algebra generated by the l-functionals on the quantum double C_q[G] \bowtie C_q[G] is considered, where C_q[G] is the coordinate algebra of a standard quantum group and q is not a root of unity. It is shown to be isomorphic to…
Some of the general results in the paper require an additional hypothesis, such as quasitriangularity. Applications to specific types of Hopf algebras are correct, as some of these are quasitriangular, and for those that are not, the…
We give a general integration prescription for finite dimensional braided Hopf algebras, deriving the N-dimensional quantum superplane integral as an example. The transformation properties of the integral on the quantum plane are found. We…
Using the standard filtration associated with a generalized lifting method, we determine all finite-dimensional Hopf algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero whose coradical generates a Hopf subalgebra isomorphic…
We consider an interesting class of braidings defined by a combinatorial property in an earlier paper. We show that it consists exactly of those braidings that come from certain Yetter-Drinfeld module structures over pointed Hopf algebras…
The quantized enveloping algebra $U_q$ is constructed as a quotient of the generalized quantum double $ U^{\leq 0}_q \cmdbicross_{\tau} U^{\geq 0}_q $ associated to a natural skew pairing $ \tau : U^{\leq 0}_q \otimes U^{\geq 0}_q \to k $.…
We show that the process of renormalization encapsules a Hopf algebra structure in a natural manner. This sheds light on the recently proposed connection between knots and renormalization theory.
Following a suggestion of A. Connes (see [Co] {\S} I.1), we build up a (first) simple natural structure of a no finitely generated braided non-commutative Hopf algebra, suggested by elementary quantum mechanics.
In this work we apply the Drinfel'd twist of Hopf algebras to the study of deformed quantum theories. We prove that, by carefully considering the role of the central extension, it is indeed possible to construct the universal enveloping…
This paper constructs a novel Hopf algebra $\mathsf{cf}(\mathrm{UT}_{\bullet})$ on the class functions of the unipotent upper triangular groups $\mathrm{UT}_{n}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ over a finite field. This construction is representation…
An example of a finite dimensional factorizable ribbon Hopf C-algebra is given by a quotient H=u_q(g) of the quantized universal enveloping algebra U_q(g) at a root of unity q of odd degree. The mapping class group M_{g,1} of a surface of…
We describe certain quiver Hopf algebras by parameters. This leads to the classification of multiple Taft algebras as well as pointed Yetter-Drinfeld modules and their corresponding Nichols algebras. In particular, when the ground-field $k$…
Given a Hopf algebra $H$ and a projection $H\to A$ to a Hopf subalgebra, we construct a Hopf algebra $r(H)$, called the partial dualization of $H$, with a projection to the Hopf algebra dual to $A$. This construction provides powerful…
It is shown that Nichols algebras over alternating groups A_m, m>4, are infinite dimensional. This proves that any complex finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebra with group of group-likes isomorphic to A_m is isomorphic to the group…
