We clarify the relation between the `bosonisation' construction (due to the author) which can be used to turn a Hopf algebra $B$ in the category of $H$-modules or $H$-comodules into an equivalent ordinary Hopf algebra, and a version of…
Double-bosonisation associates to a braided group in the category of modules of a quantum group, a new quantum group. We announce the semiclassical version of this inductive construction.
We compute the quantum double, braiding and other canonical Hopf algebra constructions for the bicrossproduct Hopf algebra $H$ associated to the factorization of a finite group into two subgroups. The representations of the quantum double…
We apply Majid's transmutation procedure to Hopf algebra maps $H \to \mathbb C[T]$, where $T$ is a compact abelian group, and explain how this construction gives rise to braided Hopf algebras over quotients of $T$ by subgroups that are…
The connection between braided Hopf algebra structure and the quantum group covariance of deformed oscillators is constructed explicitly. In this context we provide deformations of the Hopf algebra of functions on SU(1,1). Quantum subgroups…
A braided generalization of the concept of Hopf algebra (quantum group) is presented. The generalization overcomes an inherent geometrical inhomogeneity of quantum groups, in the sense of allowing completely pointless objects. All…
We introduce a quasitriangular Hopf algebra or `quantum group' $U(B)$, the {\em double-bosonisation}, associated to every braided group $B$ in the category of $H$-modules over a quasitriangular Hopf algebra $H$, such that $B$ appears as the…
We present a general theory of braided quantum groups in the C*-algebraic framework using the language of multiplicative unitaries. Starting with a manageable multiplicative unitary in the representation category of the quantum codouble of…
Let $A$ be a Hopf algebra in a braided category $\cal C$. Crossed modules over $A$ are introduced and studied as objects with both module and comodule structures satisfying a compatibility condition. The category $\DY{\cal C}^A_A$ of…
We show that the algebra of the bicovariant differential calculus on a quantum group can be understood as a projection of the cross product between a braided Hopf algebra and the quantum double of the quantum group. The resulting super-Hopf…
With the motivation of giving a more precise estimation of the quantum Brauer group of a Hopf algebra $H$ over a field $k$ we construct an exact sequence containing the quantum Brauer group of a Hopf algebra in a certain braided monoidal…
We obtain new family of quasitriangular Hopf algebras $C^{0|n}_q\lcross \widetilde{U_q(su_n)}\rcross C^{0|n}_q$ via the author's recent double-bosonisation construction for new quantum groups. They are versions of $U_q(su_{n+1})$ with a…
Let $H$ be a quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra, we construct a braided group $\underline{H}$ in the quasiassociative category of left $H$-modules. Conversely, given any braided group $B$ in this category, we construct a quasi-Hopf algebra…
We study certain subgroups of the full group of Hopf algebra automorphisms of a biproduct. In the process interesting subgroups of certain permutation groups come into play.
We propose a new non-commutative generalization of the representation variety and the character variety of a knot group. Our strategy is to reformulate the construction of the algebra of functions on the space of representations in terms of…
We recall the abstract theory of Hopf algebra bicrossproducts and double cross products due to the author. We use it to develop some less-well known results about the quantum double as a twisting, as an extension and as $q$-Lorentz group.
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…
This is an introduction for algebraists to the theory of algebras and Hopf algebras in braided categories. Such objects generalise super-algebras and super-Hopf algebras, aswell as colour-Lie algebras. Basic facts about braided categories C…
A regular way to define an additive coproduct (or ``coaddition'') on the q-deformed differential complexes is proposed for quantum groups and quantum spaces related to the Hecke-type R-matrices. Several examples of braided coadditive…
We introduce a noncommutative and noncocommutative Hopf algebra which takes for certain Hopf categories (and therefore braided monoidal bicategories) a similar role as the Grothendieck- Teichmueller group for quasitensor categories. We also…
