Let \G be a (weak) quasi-Hopf algebra. Using a two-sided \G-coaction on an algebra \M, we construct what we call the diagonal crossed product as a new associative algebra structure on \M\otimes \dG, where \dG is the dual of \G. This…

Let $D(H)$ be the quantum double associated to a finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra $H$. In this note, we first generalize a result of Majid, stating that a finite dimensional Hopf algebra $H$ is quasitriangular if and only if there is a…

We introduce a quantum double quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra $D(H)$ associated to any quasi-Hopf algebra $H$. The algebra structure is a cocycle double cross product. We use categorical reconstruction methods. As an example, we recover…

We define the notion of factorizable quasi-Hopf algebra by using a categorical point of view. We show that the Drinfeld double $D(H)$ of any finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra $H$ is factorizable, and we characterize $D(H)$ when $H$…

The concept of biperfect (noncocommutative) weak Hopf algebras is introduced and their properties are discussed. A new type of quasi-bicrossed products are constructed by means of weak Hopf skew-pairs of the weak Hopf algebras which are…

In this paper we mainly construct bicrossproduct for finite-dimensional monoidal Hom-Hopf algebra $(H,\alpha)$, generalizing the Majid's bicrossproduct. Naturally the Hom-type bicrossproduct leads to Drinfel'd double $(H^{op}\bowtie…

Let A be a Hopf algebra in a braided rigid category B. In the case B admits a coend C, which is a Hopf algebra in B, we defined in 2008 the double D(A) of A, which is a quasitriangular Hopf algebra in B whose category of modules is…

The theory of representations of a crossed module is a direct generalization of the theory of representations of groups. For a finite group G, the Drinfeld quantum double of the group G is a Hopf algebra that represents a special case of…

Let X=GM be a finite group factorisation. It is shown that the quantum double D(H) of the associated bicrossproduct Hopf algebra $H=kM\cobicross k(G)$ is itself a bicrossproduct $kX\cobicross k(Y)$ associated to a group YX, where $Y=G\times…

It is shown in math.QA/0310253 that a finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra over the complex numbers with radical of codimension 2 is twist equivalent to a Nichols Hopf algebra, or to a lifting of one of four special quasi-Hopf algebras of…

The Drinfeld double associated to the weak multiplier Hopf ($*$-) algebra pairing $\left\langle A, B\right\rangle$ is constructed. We show that the Drinfeld double is again a weak multiplier Hopf ($*$-) algebra. If $A$ and $B$ are algebraic…

Let $H$ be a finite Hopf algebra with $C_{H,H} = C_{H,H}^{-1}.$ The duality theorem is shown for $H$, i.e., $$ (R # H)# H^{\hat *} \cong R \otimes (H \bar \otimes H^{\hat *}) \hbox {as algebras in} {\cal C}.$$ Also, it is proved that the…
