We investigate a generalization of Hopf algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_{q}(2)$ by weakening the invertibility of the generator $K$, i.e. exchanging its invertibility $KK^{-1}=1$ to the regularity $K\overline{K}K=K$. This leads to a weak Hopf…

We define a new kind quantized enveloping algebra of a generalized Kac-Moody algebra ${\mathcal G}$ by adding a new generator $J$ satisfying $J^m=J$ for some integer $m$. We denote this algebra by $wU_q^{\tau}({\mathcal G})$. This algebra…

We investigate the weak Hopf algebras of Li based on $U_q[sl_n]$ and Sweedler's finite dimensional example. We give weak Hopf algebra isomorphisms between the weak generalisations of $U_q[sl_n]$ which are ``upgraded'' automorphisms of…

We introduce the notion of partial representation of a weak Hopf algebra. We present the universal algebra $H_{par}^w$, which factorizes these partial representations by algebra morphisms. Also, it is shown that $\Hp$ is isomorphic to a…

We study the group of group-like elements of a weak Hopf algebra and derive an analogue of Radford's formula for the fourth power of the antipode S, which implies that the antipode has a finite order modulo a trivial automorphism. We find a…

A weakly equivariant Hopf algebra is a Hopf algebra A with an action of a finite group G up to inner automorphisms. We show that each weakly equivariant Hopf algebra can be replaced by a Morita equivalent algebra B with a strict action of G…

For a class of neither pointed nor semisimple Hopf algebras $H_{4n}$ of dimension $4n$, it is shown that they are quasi-triangular, which universal $R$-matrices are described. The corresponding weak Hopf algebras $\mathfrak{w}H_{4n}$ and…

In this paper we introduce the notion of weak Hopf quasigroup as a generalization of weak Hopf algebras and Hopf quasigroups. We obtain its main properties and we prove the fundamental theorem of Hopf modules for these algebraic structures.

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be the set of hybrid numbers. This paper is to look for all the weak Hopf structures on $\mathbb{K}$. Once $\mathbb{K}$ is endowed with a structure of a weak Hopf algebra, we shall compute the source algebra and target…

We construct explicit examples of weak Hopf algebras (actually face algebras in the sense of Hayashi) via vacant double groupoids as explained in \http://arxiv.org/abs/math.QA/0308228. To this end, we first study the Kac exact sequence for…

By omitting the unitary constraint from the definition of weak post-Hopf algebras, we introduce the concept of relaxed weak post-Hopf algebras, offering a thorough characterization of all feasible relaxed weak post-Hopf algebraic structures…

A non-unital generalization of weak bialgebra is proposed with a multiplier-valued comultiplication. Certain canonical subalgebras of the multiplier algebra (named the `base algebras') are shown to carry coseparable co-Frobenius coalgebra…

We investigate when a weak Hopf algebra H is Frobenius; we show this is not always true, but it is true if the semisimple base algebra A has all its matrix blocks of the same dimension. However, if A is a semisimple algebra not having this…

A weak multiplier Hopf algebra is a pair (A,\Delta) of a non-degenerate idempotent algebra A and a coproduct $\Delta$ on A. The coproduct is a coassociative homomorphism from A to the multiplier algebra M(A\otimes A) with some natural extra…

Let $G$ be a {\it finite group}. Consider the algebra $A$ of all complex functions on G (with pointwise product). Define a coproduct $\Delta$ on A by $\Delta(f)(p,q)=f(pq)$ where $f\in A$ and $p,q\in G$. Then $(A,\Delta)$ is a Hopf algebra.…

We study universal enveloping Hopf algebras of Lie algebras in the category of weakly complete vector spaces over the real and complex field.

A condition is identified which guarantees that the coinvariants of a coaction of a Hopf algebra on an algebra form a subalgebra, even though the coaction may fail to be an algebra homomorphism. A Hilbert Theorem (finite generation of the…

This work extends the idea of matched pairs presented by Majid in \cite{Majid} and Takeuchi in \cite{Takeuchi} for the context of weak bialgebras and weak Hopf algebras. We introduce, also inspired by partial matched pairs…

We extend the Larson-Sweedler theorem to weak Hopf algebras by proving that a finite dimensional weak bialgebra is a weak Hopf algebra iff it possesses a non-degenerate left integral. We show that the category of modules over a weak Hopf…

We introduce the Hopf algebra of quasi-symmetric functions with semigroup exponents generalizing the Hopf algebra QSym of quasi-symmetric functions. As a special case we obtain the Hopf algebra WCQSym of weak composition quasi-symmetric…
