On noncommutative equivariant bundles
Abstract
We discuss a possible noncommutative generalization of the notion of an equivariant vector bundle. Let be a -algebra, a left -module, a Hopf -algebra, an algebra coaction, and let denote with the right -module structure induced by~. The usual definitions of an equivariant vector bundle naturally lead, in the context of -algebras, to an -module homomorphism that fulfills some appropriate conditions. On the other hand, sometimes an -Hopf module is considered instead, for the same purpose. When is invertible, as is always the case when is commutative, the two descriptions are equivalent. We point out that the two notions differ in general, by giving an example of a noncommutative Hopf algebra for which there exists such a that is not invertible and a left-right -Hopf module whose corresponding homomorphism is not an isomorphism.

Comments
In this version we dismiss the term neb-homomorphism (hinting at 'noncommutative equivariant bundles'), as the class of modules is larger than the class of algebraic counterparts of vector bundles. We also corrected some mistakes. Our main example does not immediately extended to the left-right case and the example about the 'exotic' Hopf module works only in the left-right case
