Let p be an odd prime and k an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We classify nonsemisimple Hopf algebras over k of dimension 8p with the Chevalley property, and give partial results on nonsemisimple Hopf algebras of dimension 24.
Classifying all Hopf algebras of a given finite dimension over the complex numbers is a challenging problem which remains open even for many small dimensions, not least because few general approaches to the problem are known. Some useful techniques include counting the dimensions of spaces related to the coradical filtration, studying sub- and quotient Hopf algebras, especially those sub-Hopf algebras generated by a simple subcoalgebra, working with the antipode, and studying Hopf algebras in Yetter-Drinfeld categories to help to classify Radford biproducts. In this paper, we add to the classification tools in our previous work [arXiv:1108.6037v1] and apply our results to Hopf algebras of dimension rpq and 8p where p,q,r are distinct primes. At the end of this paper we summarize in a table the status of the classification for dimensions up to 100 to date.
In this paper, the theory to construct quantum lines for general dual quasi-bialgebras is developed followed by some specific examples where the dual quasi-bialgebras are pointed with cyclic group of points.
The classification of all Hopf algebras of a given finite dimension over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 is a difficult problem. If the dimension is a prime, then the Hopf algebra is a group algebra. If the dimension is the square of a prime then the Hopf algebra is a group algebra or a Taft Hopf algebra. The classification is also complete for dimension 2p or 2p^2, p a prime. Partial results for some other cases are available. For example, for dimension p^3 the classification of the semisimple Hopf algebras was done by Masuoka, and the pointed Hopf algebras were classified by Andruskiewitsch and Schneider, Caenepeel and Dascalescu, and Stefan and van Oystaeyen independently. Many classification results for the nonsemisimple, nonpointed, non-copointed case have been proved by the second author but the classification in general for dimension p^3 is still incomplete, up to now even for dimension 27. In this paper we outline some results and techniques which have been useful in approaching this problem and add a few new ones. We give some further results on Hopf algebras of dimension p^3 and finish the classification for dimension 27.
Let $A$ be a Hopf algebra over a field $K$ of characteristic zero such that its coradical $H$ is a finite dimensional sub-Hopf algebra. Our main theorem shows that there is a gauge transformation $ζ$ on $A$ such that $A^ζ\cong Q#H$ where $A^ζ$ is the dual quasi-bialgebra obtained from $A$ by twisting its multiplication by $ζ$, $Q$ is a connected dual quasi-bialgebra in $^H_H\mathcal{YD}$ and $Q #H $ is a dual quasi-bialgebra called the bosonization of $Q$ by $H$.
Let $A$ be a Hopf algebra over a field $K$ of characteristic 0 and suppose there is a coalgebra projection $π$ from $A$ to a sub-Hopf algebra $H$ that splits the inclusion. If the projection is $H$-bilinear, then $A$ is isomorphic to a biproduct $R #_ξH$ where $(R,ξ)$ is called a pre-bialgebra with cocycle in the category $_{H}^{H}\mathcal{YD}$. The cocycle $ξ$ maps $R \otimes R$ to $H$. Examples of this situation include the liftings of pointed Hopf algebras with abelian group of points $Γ$ as classified by Andruskiewitsch and Schneider [AS1]. One asks when such an $A$ can be twisted by a cocycle $γ:A\otimes A\rightarrow K$ to obtain a Radford biproduct. By results of Masuoka [Ma1, Ma2], and Grünenfelder and Mastnak [GM], this can always be done for the pointed liftings mentioned above. In a previous paper [ABM1], we showed that a natural candidate for a twisting cocycle is {$λ\circ ξ$} where $λ\in H^{\ast}$ is a total integral for $H$ and $ξ$ is as above. We also computed the twisting cocycle explicitly for liftings of a quantum linear plane and found some examples where the twisting cocycle we computed was different from {$λ\circ ξ$}. In this note we show that in many cases this cocycle is exactly $λ\circξ$ and give some further examples where this is not the case. As well we extend the cocycle computation to quantum linear spaces; there is no restriction on the dimension.
Let $H$ be a Hopf algebra over a field $K$ of characteristic $0$ and let $A$ be a bialgebra or Hopf algebra such that $H$ is isomorphic to a sub-Hopf algebra of $A$ and there is an $H$-bilinear coalgebra projection $π$ from $A$ to $H$ which splits the inclusion. Then $A \cong R \#_ξH$ where $R$ is the pre-bialgebra of coinvariants. In this paper we study the deformations of $A$ by an $H$-bilinear cocycle. If $γ$ is a cocycle for $A$, then $γ$ can be restricted to a cocycle $γ_R$ for $R$, and $A^γ\cong R^{γ_R} \#_{ξ_γ} H$. As examples, we consider liftings of $\mathcal{B}(V) \# K[Γ]$ where $Γ$ is a finite abelian group, $V$ is a quantum plane and $\mathcal{B}(V)$ is its Nichols algebra, and explicitly construct the cocycle which twists the Radford biproduct into the lifting.
For $A$ a Hopf algebra of arbitrary dimension over a field $K$, it is well-known that if $A$ has nonzero integrals, or, in other words, if the coalgebra $A$ is co-Frobenius, then the space of integrals is one-dimensional and the antipode of $A$ is bijective. Bulacu and Caenepeel recently showed that if $H$ is a dual quasi-Hopf algebra with nonzero integrals, then the space of integrals is one-dimensional, and the antipode is injective. In this short note we show that the antipode is bijective.
We extend to the co-Frobenius case a result of Drinfeld and Radford related to the fourth power of the antipode of a finite dimensional (co)quasitriangular Hopf algebra.
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 $U_q^{\rm ext}({\rm sl}_N)^{\rm cop}$.
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.
We compute liftings of the Nichols algebra of a Yetter-Drinfeld module of Cartan type $B_2$ subject to the small restriction that the diagonal elements of the braiding matrix are primitive $n$th roots of 1 with odd $n\neq 5$. As well, we compute the liftings of a Nichols algebra of Cartan type $A_2$ if the diagonal elements of the braiding matrix are cube roots of 1; this case was not completely covered in previous work of Andruskiewitsch and Schneider. We study the problem of when the liftings of a given Nichols algebra are quasi-isomorphic. The Appendix (with I. Rutherford) contains a generalization of the quantum binomial formula. This formula was used in the computation of liftings of type $B_2$ but is also of interest independent of these results.
