Nichols algebras with many cubic relations

Quantum Algebra 2015-10-29 v3 Combinatorics

Abstract

Nichols algebras of group type with many cubic relations are classified under a technical assumption on the structure of Hurwitz orbits of the third power of the underlying indecomposable rack. All such Nichols algebras are finite-dimensional and their Hilbert series have a factorization into quantum integers. Also, all known finite-dimensional elementary Nichols algebras of group type turn out to have many cubic relations. The technical assumption of our theorem can be removed if a conjecture in the theory of cellular automata can be proven.
