Cohomology rings of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras over abelian groups

We show that the cohomology ring of a finite-dimensional complex pointed Hopf algebra with an abelian group of group-like elements is finitely generated. Our strategy has three major steps. We first reduce the problem to the finite generation of cohomology of finite dimensional Nichols algebras of diagonal type. For the Nichols algebras we do a detailed analysis of cohomology via the Anick resolution reducing the problem further to specific combinatorial properties. Finally, to check these properties we turn to the classification of Nichols algebras of diagonal type due to Heckenberger. In this paper we complete the verification of these combinatorial properties for major parametric families, including Nichols algebras of Cartan and super types and develop all the theoretical foundations necessary for the case-by-case analysis. The remaining discrete families are addressed in a separate publication. As an application of the main theorem we deduce finite generation of cohomology for other classes of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras, including basic Hopf algebras with abelian groups of characters and finite quotients of quantum groups at roots of one.

On pointed Hopf algebras over nilpotent groups

We classify finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over finite nilpotent groups of odd order in group-theoretical terms. The main step is to show that the conjugacy classes of such finite groups are either abelian or of type C; this property also holds for finite conjugacy classes of finitely generated nilpotent groups whose torsion has odd order. To extend our approach to the setting of finite GK-dimension, we propose a new Conjecture on racks of type C. We also prove that the bosonization a of Nichols algebra of a Yetter-Drinfeld module over a group whose support is an infinite conjugacy class has infinite GK-dimension. We apply this to the study of the finite GK-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras over finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups.

Examples of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras in characteristic $2$

We present new examples of finite-dimensional Nichols algebra over fields of characteristic 2 starting from braided vector spaces that are not of diagonal type, admit realizations as Yetter-Drinfeld modules over finite abelian groups and are analogous to braidings over fields of odd characteristic with finite-dimensional Nichols algebras presented in arXiv:1905.03074. As these last ones, they are related to the Nichols algebras of finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension in characteristic 0 described in arXiv:1606.02521. New finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras over fields of characteristic 2 are obtained by bosonization with group algebras of suitable finite abelian groups.

Finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras over finite simple groups of Lie type V. Mixed classes in Chevalley and Steinberg groups

We show that all classes that are neither semisimple nor unipotent in finite simple Chevalley or Steinberg groups different from $PSL_n(q)$ collapse (i.e. are never the support of a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra). As a consequence, we prove that the only finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebra whose group of group-like elements is $PSp_{2n}(q)$, $PΩ^+_{4n}(q)$, $PΩ^-_{4n}(q)$, $^3D_4(q)$, $E_7(q)$, $E_8(q)$, $F_4(q)$, or $G_2(q)$ with q even is the group algebra.

On the Hopf algebra structure of the Lusztig quantum divided power algebras

We study the Hopf algebra structure of Lusztig's quantum groups. First we show that the zero part is the tensor product of the group algebra of a finite abelian group with the enveloping algebra of an abelian Lie algebra. Second we build them from the plus, minus and zero parts by means of suitable actions and coactions within the formalism presented by Sommerhauser to describe triangular decompositions.

On the double of the (restricted) super Jordan plane

We consider the super Jordan plane, a braided Hopf algebra introduced--to the best of our knowledge--in works of N. Andruskiewitsch, I. Angiono, I. Heckenberger, and its restricted version in odd characteristic introduced by the same authors. We show that their Drinfeld doubles give rise naturally to Hopf superalgebras justifying a posteriori the adjective super given in their work. These Hopf superalgebras are extensions of super commutative ones by the enveloping, respectively restricted enveloping, algebra of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$.

On Nichols algebras of infinite rank with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension

We classify infinite-dimensional decomposable braided vector spaces arising from abelian groups whose components are either points or blocks such that the corresponding Nichols algebras have finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension. In particular we exhibit examples with $\operatorname{GKdim} = n$ for any natural number $n$.

Finite GK-dimensional pre-Nichols algebras of quantum linear spaces and of Cartan type

We study pre-Nichols algebras of quantum linear spaces and of Cartan type with finite GK-dimension. We prove that out of a short list of exceptions involving only roots of order 2, 3, 4, 6, any such pre-Nichols algebra is a quotient of the distinguished pre-Nichols algebra introduced by Angiono generalizing the De Concini-Procesi quantum groups. There are two new examples, one of which can be thought of as $G_2$ at a third root of one.

On Nichols algebras over basic Hopf algebras

This is a contribution to the classification of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras over an algebraically closed field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic 0. Concretely, we show that a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra whose Hopf coradical is basic is a lifting of a Nichols algebra of a semisimple Yetter-Drinfeld module and we explain how to classify Nichols algebras of this kind. We provide along the way new examples of Nichols algebras and Hopf algebras with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension.

On the restricted Jordan plane in odd characteristic

In positive characteristic the Jordan plane covers a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra that was described by Cibils, Lauve and Witherspoon and we call the restricted Jordan plane. In this paper the characteristic is odd. The defining relations of the Drinfeld double of the restricted Jordan plane are presented and its simple modules are determined. A Hopf algebra that deserves the name of double of the Jordan plane is introduced and various quantum Frobenius maps are described. The finite-dimensional pre-Nichols algebras intermediate between the Jordan plane and its restricted version are classified. The defining relations of the graded dual of the Jordan plane are given.

Examples of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras in positive characteristic

We present new examples of finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over fields of positive characteristic. The corresponding braided vector spaces are not of diagonal type, admit a realization as Yetter-Drinfeld modules over finite abelian groups and are analogous to braidings over fields of characteristic zero whose Nichols algebras have finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension described in arXiv:1606.02521. We obtain nex examples of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras by bosonization with group algebras of suitable finite abelian groups.

On the Bosonization of the Super Jordan Plane

Let $H$ and $K$ be the bosonizations of the Jordan and super Jordan plane by the group algebra of a cyclic group; the algebra $K$ projects onto an algebra $L$ that can be thought of as the quantum Borel of $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ at $-1$. The finite-dimensional simple modules over $H$ and $K$, are classified; they all have dimension $1$, respectively $\le 2$. The indecomposable $L$-modules of dimension $\leq 5$ are also listed. An interesting monoidal subcategory of $\operatorname{rep} L$ is described.

On finite GK-dimensional Nichols algebras over abelian groups

We contribute to the classification of Hopf algebras with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension, $\operatorname{GKdim}$ for short, through the study of Nichols algebras over abelian groups. We deal first with braided vector spaces over $\mathbb Z$ with the generator acting as a single Jordan block and show that the corresponding Nichols algebra has finite $\operatorname{GKdim}$ if and only if the size of the block is 2 and the eigenvalue is $\pm 1$; when this is 1, we recover the quantum Jordan plane. We consider next a class of braided vector spaces that are direct sums of blocks and points that contains those of diagonal type. We conjecture that a Nichols algebra of diagonal type has finite $\operatorname{GKdim}$ if and only if the corresponding generalized root system is finite. Assuming the validity of this conjecture, we classify all braided vector spaces in the mentioned class whose Nichols algebra has finite $\operatorname{GKdim}$. Consequently we present several new examples of Nichols algebras with finite $\operatorname{GKdim}$, including two not in the class alluded to above. We determine which among these Nichols algebras are domains.

On finite GK-dimensional Nichols algebras of diagonal type

It was conjectured in \texttt{\small arXiv:1606.02521} that a Nichols algebra of diagonal type with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension has finite (generalized) root system. We prove the conjecture assuming that the rank is 2. We also show that a Nichols algebra of affine Cartan type has infinite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension.

Finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras over finite simple groups of Lie type III. Semisimple classes in PSL(n,q)

We show that Nichols algebras of most simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules over the projective special linear group over a finite field, corresponding to semisimple orbits, have infinite dimension. We introduce a new criterium to determine when a conjugacy class collapses and prove that for infinitely many pairs (n,q), any finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebra H with G(H) = PSL(n,q) or SL(n,q) is isomorphic to a group algebra.

On Finite dimensional Nichols algebras of diagonal type

This is a survey on Nichols algebras of diagonal type with finite dimension, or more generally with arithmetic root system. The knowledge of these algebras is the cornerstone of the classification program of pointed Hopf algebras with finite dimension, or finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension; and their structure should be indispensable for the understanding of the representation theory, the computation of the various cohomologies, and many other aspects of finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras. These Nichols algebras were classified in [H-classif RS] as a notable application of the notions of Weyl groupoid and generalized root system [H-Weyl gpd,HY]. In the first part of this monograph, we give an overview of the theory of Nichols algebras of diagonal type. This includes a discussion of the notion of generalized root system and its appearance in the contexts of Nichols algebras of diagonal type and (modular) Lie superalgebras. In the second and third part, we describe for each Nichols algebra in the list of [H-classif RS] the following basic information: the generalized root system; its label in terms of Lie theory; the defining relations found in [A-jems,A-presentation]; the PBW-basis; the dimension or the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension; the associated Lie algebra as in [AAR2]. Indeed the second part deals with Nichols algebras related to Lie algebras and superalgebras in arbitrary characteristic, while the third contains the information on Nichols algebras related to Lie algebras and superalgebras only in small characteristic, and the few examples yet unidentified in terms of Lie theory.
