We show that, for a specific grading, the stable categories of graded maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over hypersurfaces of type $A_\infty$ and $D_\infty$ are equivalent.

Actions of Drinfeld doubles of finite groups on Artin-Schelter regular algebras
For a finite group $G$ and $\Bbbk$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero we consider Artin-Schelter regular algebras $A$ on which the Drinfeld double $D(G)$ acts inner faithfully, and its associated algebras of invariants $A^{D(G)}$. Explicit computations for the cases when $G$ is the (generalized) quaternion group of order 8 and 16 are given.

Weighted homological regularities
Let $A$ be a noetherian connected graded algebra. We introduce and study homological invariants that are weighted sums of the homological and internal degrees of cochain complexes of graded $A$-modules, providing weighted versions of Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity, Tor-regularity, Artin--Schelter regularity, and concavity. In some cases an invariant (such as Tor-regularity) that is infinite can be replaced with a weighted invariant that is finite, and several homological invariants of complexes can be expressed as weighted homological regularities. We prove a few weighted homological identities some of which unify different classical homological identities and produce interesting new ones.

Tensor Representations for the Drinfeld Double of the Taft Algebra
Over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb k$ of characteristic zero, the Drinfeld double $D_n$ of the Taft algebra that is defined using a primitive $n$th root of unity $q \in \mathbb k$ for $n \geq 2$ is a quasitriangular Hopf algebra. Kauffman and Radford have shown that $D_n$ has a ribbon element if and only if $n$ is odd, and the ribbon element is unique; however there has been no explicit description of this element. In this work, we determine the ribbon element of $D_n$ explicitly. For any $n \geq 2$, we use the R-matrix of $D_n$ to construct an action of the Temperley-Lieb algebra $\mathsf{TL}_k(ξ)$ with $ξ= -(q^{\frac{1}{2}}+q^{-\frac{1}{2}})$ on the $k$-fold tensor power $V^{\otimes k}$ of any two-dimensional simple $D_n$-module $V$. This action is known to be faithful for arbitrary $k \geq 1$. We show that $\mathsf{TL}_k(ξ)$ is isomorphic to the centralizer algebra $\text{End}_{D_n}(V^{\otimes k})$ for $1 \le k \le 2n-2$.

Degree bounds for Hopf actions on Artin-Schelter regular algebras
We study semisimple Hopf algebra actions on Artin-Schelter regular algebras and prove several upper bounds on the degrees of the minimal generators of the invariant subring, and on the degrees of syzygies of modules over the invariant subring. These results are analogues of results for group actions on commutative polynomial rings proved by Noether, Fogarty, Fleischmann, Derksen, Sidman, Chardin, and Symonds.

Homological regularities and concavities
This paper concerns homological notions of regularity for noncommutative algebras. Properties of an algebra $A$ are reflected in the regularities of certain (complexes of) $A$-modules. We study the classical Tor-regularity and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity, which were generalized from the commutative setting to the noncommutative setting by J{\o}rgensen and Dong-Wu. We also introduce two new numerical homological invariants: concavity and Artin-Schelter regularity. Artin-Schelter regular algebras occupy a central position in noncommutative algebra and noncommutative algebraic geometry, and we use these invariants to establish criteria which can be used to determine whether a noetherian connected graded algebra is Artin-Schelter regular.

Semisimple Reflection Hopf Algebras of Dimension Sixteen
For each nontrivial semisimple Hopf algebra $H$ of dimension sixteen over $\mathbb{C}$, the smallest dimension inner-faithful representation of $H$ acting on a quadratic AS regular algebra $A$ of dimension 2 or 3, homogeneously and preserving the grading, is determined. Each invariant subring $A^H$ is determined. When $A^H$ is also AS regular, thus providing a generalization of the Chevalley-Shephard-Todd Theorem, we say that $H$ is a reflection Hopf algebra for $A$.

McKay Matrices for Finite-dimensional Hopf Algebras
For a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra $A$, the McKay matrix $M_V$ of an $A$-module $V$ encodes the relations for tensoring the simple $A$-modules with $V$. We prove results about the eigenvalues and the right and left (generalized) eigenvectors of $M_V$ by relating them to characters. We show how the projective McKay matrix $Q_V$ obtained by tensoring the projective indecomposable modules of $A$ with $V$ is related to the McKay matrix of the dual module of $V$. We illustrate these results for the Drinfeld double $D_n$ of the Taft algebra by deriving expressions for the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of $M_V$ and $Q_V$ in terms of several kinds of Chebyshev polynomials. For the matrix $N_V$ that encodes the fusion rules for tensoring $V$ with a basis of projective indecomposable $D_n$-modules for the image of the Cartan map, we show that the eigenvalues and eigenvectors also have such Chebyshev expressions.

Three infinite families of reflection Hopf algebras
Let $H$ be a semisimple Hopf algebra acting on an Artin-Schelter regular algebra $A$, homogeneously, inner-faithfully, preserving the grading on $A$, and so that $A$ is an $H$-module algebra. When the fixed subring $A^H$ is also AS regular, thus providing a generalization of the Chevalley-Shephard-Todd Theorem, we say that $H$ is a reflection Hopf algebra for $A$. We show that each of the semisimple Hopf algebras $H_{2n^2}$ of Pansera, and $\mathcal{A}_{4m}$ and $\mathcal{B}_{4m}$ of Masuoka is a reflection Hopf algebra for an AS regular algebra of dimension 2 or 3.

Noncommutative Knörrer periodicity and noncommutative Kleinian singularities
We establish a version of Knörrer's Periodicity Theorem in the context of noncommutative invariant theory. Namely, let $A$ be a left noetherian AS-regular algebra, let $f$ be a normal and regular element of $A$ of positive degree, and take $B=A/(f)$. Then there exists a bijection between the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable non-free maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over $B$ and those over (a noncommutative analog of) its second double branched cover $(B^\#)^\#$. Our results use and extend the study of twisted matrix factorizations, which was introduced by the first three authors with Cassidy. These results are applied to the noncommutative Kleinian singularities studied by the second and fourth authors with Chan and Zhang.

Auslander's Theorem for permutation actions on noncommutative algebras
When $A = \mathbb{k}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ and $G$ is a small subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{k})$, Auslander's Theorem says that the skew group algebra $A \# G$ is isomorphic to $\operatorname{End}_{A^G}(A)$ as graded algebras. We prove a generalization of Auslander's Theorem for permutation actions on $(-1)$-skew polynomial rings, $(-1)$-quantum Weyl algebras, three-dimensional Sklyanin algebras, and a certain graded down-up algebra. We also show that certain fixed rings $A^G$ are graded isolated singularities in the sense of Ueyama.

McKay Correspondence for semisimple Hopf actions on regular graded algebras, I
In establishing a more general version of the McKay correspondence, we prove Auslander's theorem for actions of semisimple Hopf algebras H on noncommutative Artin-Schelter regular algebras A of global dimension two, where A is a graded H-module algebra, and the Hopf action on A is inner faithful with trivial homological determinant. We also show that each fixed ring A^H under such an action arises an analogue of a coordinate ring of a Kleinian singularity.

McKay Correspondence for semisimple Hopf actions on regular graded algebras, II
We continue our study of the McKay Correspondence for grading preserving actions of semisimple Hopf algebras H on (noncommutative) Artin-Schelter regular algebras A. Here, we establish correspondences between module categories over A^H, over A\#H, and over \End_{A^H} A. We also study homological properties of (endomorphism rings of) maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over A^H.

On the discriminant of twisted tensor products
We provide formulas for computing the discriminant of noncommutative algebras over central subalgebras in the case of Ore extensions and skew group extensions. The formulas follow from a more general result regarding the discriminants of certain twisted tensor products. We employ our formulas to compute automorphism groups for examples in each case.

Quantum binary polyhedral groups and their actions on quantum planes
We classify quantum analogues of actions of finite subgroups G of SL_2(k) on commutative polynomial rings k[u,v]. More precisely, we produce a classification of pairs (H,R), where H is a finite dimensional Hopf algebra that acts inner faithfully and preserves the grading of an Artin-Schelter regular algebra R of global dimension two. Remarkably, the corresponding invariant rings R^H share similar regularity and Gorenstein properties as the invariant rings k[u,v]^G in the classic setting. We also present several questions and directions for expanding this work in noncommutative invariant theory.

Periodic free resolutions from twisted matrix factorizations
The notion of a matrix factorization was introduced by Eisenbud in the commutative case in his study of bounded (periodic) free resolutions over complete intersections. In this work, we extend the notion of (homogeneous) matrix factorizations to regular normal elements of connected graded algebras over a field. Next, we relate the category of twisted matrix factorizations to an element over a ring and certain Zhang twists. We also show that in the AS-regular setting, every sufficiently high syzygy module is the cokernel of some twisted matrix factorization. Furthermore, we show that in this setting there is an equivalence of categories between the homotopy category of twisted matrix factorizations and the singularity category of the hypersurface, following work of Orlov.

Finiteness conditions on the Yoneda algebra of a monomial algebra
Let A be a connected graded noncommutative monomial algebra. We associate to A a finite graph Γ(A) called the CPS graph of A. Finiteness properties of the Yoneda algebra Ext_A(k,k) including Noetherianity, finite GK dimension, and finite generation are characterized in terms of Γ(A). We show these properties, notably finite generation, can be checked by means of a terminating algorithm.
