Abstract

Any simplicial Hopf algebra involves 2n2n different projections between the Hopf algebras Hn,Hn1H_n,H_{n-1} for each n1n \geq 1. The word projection, here meaning a tuple  ⁣:HnHn1\partial \colon H_{n} \to H_{n-1} and i ⁣:Hn1Hni \colon H_{n-1} \to H_{n} of Hopf algebra morphisms, such that i=id\partial \, i = \mathrm{id}. Given a Hopf algebra projection ( ⁣:IH,i)(\partial \colon I \to H,i) in a braided monoidal category C\mathfrak{C}, one can obtain a new Hopf algebra structure living in the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over HH, due to Radford's theorem. The underlying set of this Hopf algebra is obtained by an equalizer which only defines a sub-algebra (not a sub-coalgebra) of II in C\mathfrak{C}. In fact, this is a braided Hopf algebra since the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over a Hopf algebra with an invertible antipode is braided monoidal. To apply Radford's theorem in a simplicial Hopf algebra successively, we require some extra functorial properties of Yetter-Drinfeld modules. Furthermore, this allows us to model Majid's braided Hopf crossed module notion from the perspective of a simplicial structure.
