In this paper, we prove that a non-semisimple Hopf algebra H of dimension 4p with p an odd prime over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is pointed provided H contains more than two group-like elements. In particular, we…

We prove that every semisimple Hopf algebra of dimension less than 60 over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero is either upper or lower semisolvable up to a cocycle twist.

We show that certain twisting deformations of a family of supersolvable groups are simple as Hopf algebras. These groups are direct products of two generalized dihedral groups. Examples of this construction arise in dimensions 60 and…

Let H be a Hopf algebra of dimension pq over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, where p <= q are odd primes. Suppose that S is the antipode of H. If H is not semisimple, then S^{4p}=id_H and Tr(S^{2p}) is an integer…

For each nontrivial semisimple Hopf algebra $H$ of dimension sixteen over $\mathbb{C}$, the smallest dimension inner-faithful representation of $H$ acting on a quadratic AS regular algebra $A$ of dimension 2 or 3, homogeneously and…

Let $H$ be a non-semisimple Hopf algebra with antipode $S$ of dimension $pq$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 where $p \le q$ are odd primes. We prove that $\Tr(S^{2p})=p^2d$ where $d \equiv pq \pmod{4}$. As a…

We introduce the notions of sovereign, spherical and balanced quasi-Hopf algebra. We investigate the connections between these, as well as their connections with the class of pivotal, involutory and ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras, respectively.…

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…

We show that there is a family of complex semisimple Hopf algebras that do not admit a Hopf order over any number ring. They are Drinfel'd twists of certain group algebras. The twist contains a scalar fraction which makes impossible the…

We prove the quasi-Hopf algebra version of the Nichols-Zoeller theorem: A finite-dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra is free over any quasi-Hopf subalgebra.

Let H be a Hopf algebra of dimension pq over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, where p, q are odd primes with p < q < 4p+12. We prove that H is semisimple and thus isomorphic to a group algebra, or the dual of a group…

We define the concept of \emph{companion automorphism} of a Hopf algebra $H$ as an automorphism $\sigma:H \rightarrow H$: $\sigma^2=S^2$ --where $S$ denotes the antipode--. A Hopf algebra is said to be \emph{almost involutive} (AI) if it…

Let $q$ be a prime number, $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, and $H$ a semisimple Hopf algebra of dimension $2q^3$. This paper proves that $H$ is always semisolvable. That is, such Hopf algebras can be obtained by (a…

Let $H$ be a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. If $H$ is not semisimple and $\dim(H)=2n$ for some odd integer $n$, then $H$ or $H^*$ is not unimodular. Using this result, we prove that…
