It is an important open problem whether the dimension of the Nichols algebra B(O,ρ) is finite when O is the class of the transpositions and ρis the sign representation, with m>= 6. In the present paper, we discard most of the other conjugacy classes showing that very few pairs (O,ρ) might give rise to finite-dimensional Nichols algebras.
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for two Hopf algebras presented as central extensions to be isomorphic, in a suitable setting. We then study the question of isomorphism between the Hopf algebras constructed in 0707.0070v1 as quantum subgroups of quantum groups at roots of 1. Finally, we apply the first general result to show the existence of infinitely many non-isomorphic Hopf algebras of the same dimension, presented as extensions of finite quantum groups by finite groups.
We classify finite-dimensional complex pointed Hopf algebra with group of group-like elements isomorphic to A_5. We show that any pointed Hopf algebra with infinitesimal braiding associated with the conjugacy class of $π$ \in $A_n$ is infinite-dimensional if the order of $π$ is odd except for $π=(1 2 3)$ in $A_4$. We also study pointed Hopf algebras over the dihedral groups.
We extend the main result of [N. Andruskiewitsch and H.-J. Schneider, A characterization of quantum groups], see math/0201095, to braided vector spaces of generic diagonal type using results of Heckenberger.
The construction of a quantum groupoid out of a double groupoid satisfying a filling condition and a perturbation datum is given. This extends previous work that appeared in math.QA/0308228. Several important classes of examples of tensor categories are shown to fit into this construction. Certain invariants such as a pivotal group-like element and quantum and Frobenius-Perron dimensions of simple objects are computed.
Let g be a simple complex finite dimensional Lie algebra and let U_q^+(g) be the positive part of the quantum enveloping algebra of g. If g is of type A_2, the group of algebra automorphisms of U_q^+(g) is a semidirect product of a 2-dimensional torus and the group of automorphisms of the Dynkin diagram; any algebra automorphism is an automorphism of braided Hopf algebra, and preserves the standard grading [AD1]. This intriguing smallness of the group of algebra automorphisms raises questions about the extent of these phenomena. We discuss some of them in the present paper. We introduce the notion of ``algebra with few automorphisms" and establish some consequences. We prove some exploratory results concerning the group of algebra automorphisms for the type B_2. We study Hopf algebra automorphisms of Nichols algebras and their bosonizations and compute in particular the group of Hopf algebra automorphisms of U_q^+(g).
Two algebras can be attached to a braided vector space $(V, c)$ in an intrinsic way; the FRT-bialgebra and the Nichols algebra $\toba(V, c)$. The FRT-bialgebra plays the rôle of the algebra of quantum matrices, whereas the rôle of the Nichols algebra is less understood. Some authors call $\toba(V)$ a quantum symmetric algebra. The purpose of this paper is to discuss some properties of certain Nichols algebras, in an attempt to establish classes of Nichols algebras which are worth of further study.
