All rational semisimple braided tensor categories are representation categories of weak quasi Hopf algebras. To proof this result we construct for any given category of this kind a weak quasi tensor functor to the category of finite…

We present examples of color Hopf algebras, i.e. Hopf algebras in color categories (braided tensor categories with braiding induced by a bicharacter on an abelian group), related with quantum doubles of pointed Hopf algebras. We also…

Following the theory of principal $\infty$-bundles of Niklaus-Schreiber-Steveson, we develop a homotopy categorification of Hopf algebras, which model quantum groups. We study their higher-representation theory in the setting of…

Let $H$ be a Hopf algebra. We consider $H$-equivariant modules over a Hopf module category $\mathcal C$ as modules over the smash extension $\mathcal C\# H$. We construct Grothendieck spectral sequences for the cohomologies as well as the…

Given a DG-category A we introduce the bar category of modules Modbar(A). It is a DG-enhancement of the derived category D(A) of A which is isomorphic to the category of DG A-modules with A-infinity morphisms between them. However, it is…

In recent years, there has been great interest in the study of categorification, specifically as it applies to the theory of quantum groups. In this thesis, we would like to provide a new approach to this problem by looking at Hall…

Bialgebras and Hopf (bi)modules are typical algebraic structures with several interacting operations. Their structural and homological study is therefore quite involved. We develop the machinery of braided systems, tailored for handling…

Let g be a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra and U_h(g) its quantized enveloping algebra. The quantum Weyl group operators of U_h(g) and the universal R-matrices of its Levi subalgebras endow U_h(g) with a natural quasi-Coxeter…

Let $A=\bigoplus_{p\in G}A_{p}$ be a multiplier Hopf $T$-coalgebra over a group $G$, in this paper we give the definition of the crossed left $A$-$G$-modules and show that the category of crossed left $A$-$G$-modules is a monoidal category.…

Let $U_q'(\mathfrak{g})$ be an arbitrary quantum affine algebra of either untwisted or twisted type, and let $\mathscr{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^0$ be its Hernandez-Leclerc category. We denote by $\mathsf{B}$ the braid group determined by the…

Let K be a comonad on a model category M. We provide conditions under which the associated category of K-coalgebras admits a model category structure such that the forgetful functor to M creates both cofibrations and weak equivalences. We…

In this note we continue our development of tannakizations of symmetric monoidal infinity-categories, begun in our previous paper. The issue treated in this paper is the calculation of tannakizations of examples of symmetric monoidal stable…

The theory of abelian categories proved very useful, providing an axiomatic framework for homology and cohomology of modules over a ring and, in particular, of abelian groups. For many years, a similar categorical framework has been lacking…

This chapter lays out a framework for discussing (\ast)-structures on module-algebras over a Hopf (\ast)-algebra (H). We define a complex conjugation functor (V \mapsto \bar{V}), which is an involution on the module category (\hmod), and…

We show that all possible categories of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over a quasi-Hopf algebra $H$ are isomorphic. We prove also that the category $\yd^{\rm fd}$ of finite dimensional left Yetter-Drinfeld modules is rigid and then we compute…

Kornel Szlach\'anyi recently used the term skew-monoidal category for a particular laxified version of monoidal category. He showed that bialgebroids $H$ with base ring $R$ could be characterized in terms of skew-monoidal structures on the…

In a previous paper the authors constructed a class of quasi-Hopf algebras $D^{\omega}(G, A)$ associated to a finite group $G$, generalizing the twisted quantum double construction. We gave necessary and sufficient conditions, cohomological…

We apply categorical machinery to the problem of defining cyclic cohomology with coefficients in two particular cases, namely quasi-Hopf algebras and Hopf algebroids. In the case of the former, no definition was thus far available in the…

Motivated by the so-called H-cell reduction theorems, we investigate certain classes of bicategories which have only one H-cell apart from possibly the identity. We show that H_0-simple quasi fiab bicategories with unique H-cell H_0 are…

Let A be a k-algebra over a commutative ring k. By the renowned Tannaka-Krein reconstruction, liftings of the monoidal structure from k-modules to A-modules correspond to bialgebra structures on A and liftings of the closed monoidal…
