Biproduct Quasi-Hopf Algebras of Rank 2

Inspired by the work of Radford, for $H$ an arbitrary quasi-Hopf algebra we describe all the Hopf algebras of dimension $2$ within the braided category of left Yetter-Drinfeld modules over $H$ and determine the biproduct quasi-Hopf algebras defined by them. Classes of such biproduct quasi-Hopf algebras are obtained by taking $H$ as the Hopf algebra of functions on a group $G$, endowed with the quasi-Hopf algebra structure provided by a non-trivial $3$-cocycle on $G$ (especially when $G$ is a finite cyclic group or the double dihedral group), or as being a quasi-Hopf algebra with radical of codimension two. In this way we uncover new classes of basic quasi-Hopf algebras of even dimension, as well as new classes of tensor categories.

Quasi-Hopf Algebras of Dimension 6

We complete the classification of the 6-dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras, by proving that any such algebra is semisimple. As byproducts, we provide examples of 6-dimensional quasi-bialgebras that are not semisimple as algebras, as well as the concrete quasi-Hopf structures of the 6-dimensional semisimple quasi-Hopf algebras previously classified by Etingof and Gelaki in terms of their category of representations. In total there are 15 quasi-Hopf algebras in dimension 6 which are not pairwise twist equivalent.

Some ribbon elements for the quasi-Hopf algebra $D^\omega(H)$

We construct an explicit isomorphism between the quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra $D^\omega(H)$ defined in \cite{bp} and a certain quantum double quasi-Hopf algebra. We give also new characterizations for a quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra to be ribbon and use them to construct some ribbon elements for $D^\omega(H)$.

On sovereign, balanced and ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras

We introduce the notions of sovereign, spherical and balanced quasi-Hopf algebra. We investigate the connections between these, as well as their connections with the class of pivotal, involutory and ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras, respectively. Examples of balanced and ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras are obtained from a sort of double construction which associates to a braided category (resp. rigid braided) a balanced (resp. ribbon) one.

On Frobenius and separable algebra extensions in monoidal categories. Applications to wreaths

We characterize Frobenius and separable monoidal algebra extensions $i: R\ra S$ in terms given by $R$ and $S$. For instance, under some conditions, we show that the extension is Frobenius, respectively separable, if and only if $S$ is a Frobenius, respectively separable, algebra in the category of bimodules over $R$. In the case when $R$ is separable we show that the extension is separable if and only if $S$ is a separable algebra. Similarly, in the case when $R$ is Frobenius and separable in a sovereign monoidal category we show that the extension is Frobenius if and only if $S$ is a Frobenius algebra and the restriction at $R$ of its Nakayama automorphism is equal to the Nakayama automorphism of $R$. As applications, we obtain several characterizations for an algebra extension associated to a wreath to be Frobenius, respectively separable.

Quasi-bialgebra Structures and Torsion-free Abelian Groups

We describe all the quasi-bialgebra structures of a group algebra over a torsion-free abelian group. They all come out to be triangular in a unique way. Moreover, up to an isomorphism, these quasi-bialgebra structures produce only one (braided) monoidal structure on the category of their representations. Applying these results to the algebra of Laurent polynomials, we recover two braided monoidal categories introduced in \cite{CG} by S. Caenepeel and I. Goyvaerts in connection with Hom-structures (Lie algebras, algebras, coalgebras, Hopf algebras).

Braided Hopf algebras obtained from coquasitriangular Hopf algebras

Let $(H, σ)$ be a coquasitriangular Hopf algebra, not necessarily finite dimensional. Following methods of Doi and Takeuchi, which parallel the constructions of Radford in the case of finite dimensional quasitriangular Hopf algebras, we define $H_σ$, a sub-Hopf algebra of $H^0$, the finite dual of $H$. Using the generalized quantum double construction and the theory of Hopf algebras with a projection, we associate to $H$ a braided Hopf algebra structure in the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over $H_σ^{\rm cop}$. Specializing to $H={\rm SL}_q(N)$, we obtain explicit formulas which endow ${\rm SL}_q(N)$ with a braided Hopf algebra structure within the category of left Yetter-Drinfeld modules over $U_q^{\rm ext}({\rm sl}_N)^{\rm cop}$.

Radford's S^4 formula for co-Frobenius Hopf algebras

This note extends Radford's formula for the fourth power of the antipode of a finite dimensional Hopf algebra to co-Frobenius Hopf algebras and studies equivalent conditions to a Hopf algebra being involutory for finite dimensional and co-Frobenius Hopf algebras.

Generalized diagonal crossed products and smash products for quasi-Hopf algebras. Applications

In this paper we introduce generalizations of diagonal crossed products, two-sided crossed products and two-sided smash products, for a quasi-Hopf algebra H. The results we obtain may be applied to H^*-Hopf bimodules and generalized Yetter-Drinfeld modules. The generality of our situation entails that the "generating matrix" formalism cannot be used, forcing us to use a different approach. This pays off because as an application we obtain an easy conceptual proof of an important but very technical result of Hausser and Nill concerning iterated two-sided crossed products.

Factorizable quasi-Hopf algebras. Applications

We define the notion of factorizable quasi-Hopf algebra by using a categorical point of view. We show that the Drinfeld double $D(H)$ of any finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra $H$ is factorizable, and we characterize $D(H)$ when $H$ itself is factorizable. Finally, we prove that any finite dimensional factorizable quasi-Hopf algebra is unimodular. In particular, we obtain that the Drinfeld double $D(H)$ is a unimodular quasi-Hopf algebra.
