By using cocycle deformation, we construct a certain class of Hopf algebras, containing the quantized enveloping algebras and their analogues, from what we call pre-Nichols algebras. Our construction generalizes in some sense the known…

We define a family of Hopf algebra objects, $H$, in the braided category of $\mathbb{Z}_n$-modules (known as anyonic vector spaces), for which the property $\psi^2_{H\otimes H}=id_{H\otimes H}$ holds. We will show that these anyonic Hopf…

We completely describe by generators and relations and classify all Hopf algebras which factorize through the Taft algebra $T_{m^{2}}(q)$ and the group Hopf algebra $K[C_{n}]$: they are $nm^{2}$-dimensional quantum groups $T_{nm^{2}}^…

For each n >1, we construct a left quantum group, i.e., a left Hopf algebra H generated by comatrix units X_{ij} and modeled after SL_q(n), which has a left antipode but no right antipode. The quantum special linear group SL_q(n) is a…

We consider finite groups acting on quantum (or skew) polynomial rings. Deformations of the semidirect product of the quantum polynomial ring with the acting group extend symplectic reflection algebras and graded Hecke algebras to the…

Given a group G, we use involutary Hopf G-coalgebras to define a scalar invariant of flat G-bundles over 3-manifolds. When G=1, this invariant equals to the one of 3-manifolds constructed by Kuperberg from involutary Hopf algebras. We give…

Motivated by the orthogonality relations for irreducible characters of a finite group, we evaluate the sum of a finite group of linear characters of a Hopf algebra, at all grouplike and skew-primitive elements. We then discuss results for…

An important property of a Hopf algebra is its quasitriangularity and it is useful various applications. This property is investigated for quantum groups $sl_2$ at roots of 1. It is shown that different forms of the quantum group $sl_2$ at…

We define an algebra $\mathcal{U}_0$ using a simplified set of generators for the quantum toroidal algebra $U_q(sl_{n+1}, tor)$ and show that there exists an epimorphism from $\mathcal{U}_0$ to $U_q(sl_{n+1}, tor)$. We derive a closed…

We describe quantum enveloping algebras of symmetric Kac-Moody Lie algebras via a finite field Hall algebra construction involving Z_2-graded complexes of quiver representations.

Let H be a connected Hopf k-algebra of finite Gel'fand-Kirillov dimension over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. The objects of study in this paper are the left or right coideal subalgebras T of H. They are shown to be…

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…

We contruct here the Hopf algebra structure underlying the process of renormalization of non-commutative quantum field theory.

We give a survey of the theory of finite quantum groupoids (weak Hopf algebras), including foundations of the theory and applications to finite depth subfactors, dynamical deformations of quantum groups, and invariants of knots and…

We define a semi-Hopf algebra which is more general than a Hopf algebra. Then we construct the supersymmetry algebra via the adjoint action on this semi-Hopf algebra. As a result we have a supersymmetry theory with quantum gauge group,…

A systematic computational approach for the explicit construction of any quantum Hopf algebra (U_z(g),\Delta_z) starting from the Lie bialgebra (g,\delta) that gives the first-order deformation of the coproduct map \Delta_z is presented.…

We review the construction of the multiparametric inhomogeneous orthogonal quantum group ISO_qr(N) as a projection from SO_qr(N+2), and recall the conjugation that for N=4 leads to the quantum Poincare group. We study the properties of the…

Family of doublings of Hopf algeras based on the product of algebra and its dual are constructed and studied. Special cases of these construction may be considered as natural quantum analogs of rings of differential operators on groups.…

We study the relationships among the various forms of the $q$ oscillator algebra and consider the conditions under which it supports a Hopf structure. We also present a generalization of this algebra together with its corresponding Hopf…

For a large class of finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras (including the classical simple ones) a Lie supergroup associated to the algebra is defined by fixing the Hopf superalgebra of functions on the supergroup. Then it is shown that on…
