Abstract

Let C\mathcal{C} be a finite tensor category, and let M\mathcal{M} be an exact left C\mathcal{C}-module category. The relative Serre functor of M\mathcal{M} is an endofunctor S\mathbb{S} on M\mathcal{M} together with a natural isomorphism Hom(M,N)Hom(N,S(M))\underline{\mathrm{Hom}}(M, N)^* \cong \underline{\mathrm{Hom}}(N, \mathbb{S}(M)) for M,NMM, N \in \mathcal{M}, where Hom\underline{\mathrm{Hom}} is the internal Hom functor of M\mathcal{M}. In this paper, we discuss the case where C\mathcal{C} and M\mathcal{M} are the category of modules over a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra HH and the category of modules over an HH-comodule algebra LL, respectively. We give an explicit description of the relative Serre functor of M\mathcal{M} and its twisted module structure in terms of the Frobenius structure of LL. We also study pivotal structures on M\mathcal{M} and give some concrete examples.
