Solvability for semisimple Hopf algebras via integrals

Quantum Algebra 2016-04-27 v1

Abstract

We use integrals of left coideal subalgebras to develop Harmonic analysis for semisimple Hopf algebras. We show how N,N^*, the space of functional on N,N, is embedded in H.H^*. We define a bilinear form on NN^* and show that irreducible NN-characters are orthogonal with respect to that form. We then give an explicit formula for induced characters of NN and show how the induced characters are embedded in R(H).R(H). In the second part we give an intrinsic definition for solvable semisimple Hopf algebras via left coideal subalgebras and their integrals. We show how this definition generalizes solvability for finite groups. In particular, commutative and nilpotent Hopf algebras are solvable. We finally prove an analogue of Burnside theorem: A semisimple quasitriangular Hopf algebras of dimension paqbp^aq^b is solvable.
