Abstract

We prove that, in case A(c)A(c) = the FRT construction of a braided vector space (V,c)(V,c) admits a weakly Frobenius algebra B\mathfrak B (e.g. if the braiding is rigid and its Nichols algebra is finite dimensional), then the Hopf envelope of A(c)A(c) is simply the localization of A(c)A(c) by a single element called the quantum determinant associated to the weakly Frobenius algebra. This generalizes a result of the author together with Gast\'on A. Garc\'ia in \cite{FG}, where the same statement was proved, but with extra hypotheses that we now know were unnecessary. On the way, we describe a universal way of constructing a universal bialgebra attached to a finite dimensional vector space together with some algebraic structure given by a family of maps {fi:VniVmi}\{f_i:V^{\otimes n_i}\to V^{\otimes m_i}\}. The Dubois-Violette and Launer Hopf algebra and the co-quasi triangular property of the FRT construction play a fundamental role on the proof.
