Hodge Star as Braided Fourier Transform
Abstract
We study super-braided Hopf algebras primitively generated by finite-dimensional right crossed (or Drinfeld-Radford-Yetter) modules over a Hopf algebra which are quotients of the augmentation ideal under right multiplication and the adjoint coaction. Here super-bosonisation provides a bicovariant differential graded algebra on . We introduce providing the maximal prolongation, while the canonical braided-exterior algebra provides the Woronowicz exterior calculus. In this context we introduce a Hodge star operator by super-braided Fourier transform on and left and right interior products by braided partial derivatives. Our new approach to the Hodge star (a) differs from previous approaches in that it is canonically determined by the differential calculus and (b) differs on key examples, having order 3 in middle degree on with its 3D calculus and obeying the -Hecke relation in middle degree on with its 4D calculus. Our work also provided a Hodge map on quantum plane calculi and a new starting point for calculi on coquasitriangular Hopf algebras whereby any subcoalgebra defines a sub braided-Lie algebra and provides the required data .
