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…

Let $p,q$ be prime numbers with $p^4<q$, and $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We show that semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension $p^2q^2$ can be constructed either from group algebras and their duals by means of…

We prove that, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, a semisimple Hopf algebra that has a nontrivial self-dual simple module must have even dimension. This generalizes a classical result of W. Burnside. As an…

This expository article presents a unified ring theoretic approach, based on the theory of Frobenius algebras, to a variety of results on Hopf algebras. These include a theorem of S. Zhu on the degrees of irreducible representations, the…

In this paper we introduce a trace-like invariant for the irreducible representations of a finite dimensional complex Hopf algebra H. We do so by considering the trace of the map induced by the antipode S on the endomorphisms End(V) of a…

S. Montgomery and S. Witherspoon proved that upper and lower semisolvable, semisimple, finite dimensional Hopf algebras are of Froebenius type when their dimensions are not divisible by the characteristic of the base field. In this note we…

We replace the group of group-like elements of the quantized enveloping algebra $U_q({\frak{g}})$ of a finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebra ${\frak g}$ by some regular monoid and get the weak Hopf algebra ${\frak{w}}_q^{\sf d}({\frak…

We introduce the notion of a homological integral for an infinite-dimensional weak Hopf algebra and use the homological integral to prove several structure theorems. For example, we prove that the Artin--Schelter property and the Van den…

Masuoka proved that for a prime p, semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension 2p over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0, are trivial (i.e. are either group algebras or the dual of group algebras). Westreich and the second…

Let H be a Hopf algebra and A an H-simple right H-comodule algebra. It is shown that under certain hypotheses every (H,A)-Hopf module is either projective or free as an A-module and A is either a quasi-Frobenius or a semisimple ring. As an…

We prove that a finite-dimensional irreducible Hopf algebra $H$ in positive characteristic is semisimple, if and only if it is commutative and semisimple, if and only if the restricted Lie algebra $P(H)$ of the primitives is a torus. This…

Making the first steps towards a classification of simple partial comodules, we give a general construction for partial comodules of a Hopf algebra \(H\) using central idempotents in right coideal subalgebras and show that any…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. In this paper, we obtain the structure theorems for semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension $p^2q^2$ over $k$, where $p,q$ are prime numbers with $p^2<q$. As an application, we…

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…

It is proved in this paper that for any finite-dimensional nonsemisimple Hopf algebra $A$ there exists a Hopf algebra $H$ containing $A$ as a Hopf subalgebra such that $H$ is not flat over $A$. On the other hand, there is a class of…

We prove that a depth two Hopf subalgebra K of a semisimple Hopf algebra H is normal (where the ground field $k$ is algebraically closed of characteristic zero). This means on the one hand that a Hopf subalgebra is normal when inducing…
