The quantum disc is used to define a noncommutative analogue of a dense coordinate chart and of left-invariant vector fields on quantum SU(2). This yields two twisted Dirac operators for different twists that are related by a gauge transformation and have bounded twisted commutators with a suitable algebra of differentiable functions on quantum SU(2).
Incidence coalgebras of categories in the sense of Joni and Rota are studied, specifically cases where a monoidal product on the category turns these into (weak) bialgebras. The overlap with the theory of combinatorial Hopf algebras and that of Hopf quivers is discussed, and examples including trees, skew shapes, Milner's bigraphs and crossed modules are considered.
In a recent article, the coordinate ring of the nodal cubic was given the structure of a quantum homogeneous space. Here the corresponding coalgebra Galois extension is expressed in terms of quantum groups at roots of unity, and is shown to be cleft. Furthermore, the minimal quotient extensions are determined.
We construct a bialgebra object in the category of linear maps LM from a cocommutative rack bialgebra. The construction does extend to some non-cocommutative rack bialgebras, as is illustrated by a concrete example. As a separate result, we show that the Loday complex with adjoint coefficients embeds into the rack bialgebra deformation complex for the rack bialgebra defined by a Leibniz algebra.
The aim of this short note is to communicate an example of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra that does not admit a modular pair in involution in the sense of Connes and Moscovici.
The spectral theory of the Karoubi operator due to Cuntz and Quillen is extended to general mixed (duchain) complexes, that is, chain complexes which are simultaneously cochain complexes. Connes' coboundary map B can be viewed as a perturbation of the noncommutative De Rham differential d by a polynomial in the Karoubi operator. The homological impact of such perturbations is expressed in terms of two short exact sequences.
The cusp was recently shown to admit the structure of a quantum homogeneous space, that is, its coordinate ring $B$ can be embedded as a right coideal subalgebra into a Hopf algebra $A$ such that $A$ is faithfully flat as a $B$-module. In the present article such a Hopf algebra $A$ is constructed for the coordinate ring $B$ of the nodal cubic, thus further motivating the question which affine varieties are quantum homogeneous spaces.
Given a monad and a comonad, one obtains a distributive law between them from lifts of one through an adjunction for the other. In particular, this yields for any bialgebroid the Yetter-Drinfel'd distributive law between the comonad given by a module coalgebra and the monad given by a comodule algebra. It is this self-dual setting that reproduces the cyclic homology of associative and of Hopf algebras in the monadic framework of Boehm and Stefan. In fact, their approach generates two duplicial objects and morphisms between them which are mutual inverses if and only if the duplicial objects are cyclic. A 2-categorical perspective on the process of twisting coefficients is provided and the role of the two notions of bimonad studied in the literature is clarified.
The Dolbeault complex of a quantized compact Hermitian symmetric space is expressed in terms of the Koszul complex of a braided symmetric algebra of Berenstein and Zwicknagl. This defines a spectral triple quantizing the Dolbeault-Dirac operator associated to the canonical spin^c structure.
Recently, Boehm and Stefan constructed duplicial (paracyclic) objects from distributive laws between (co)monads. Here we define the category of factorisations of a distributive law, show that it acts on this construction, and give some explicit examples.
A Hopf algebra object in Loday and Pirashvili's category of linear maps entails an ordinary Hopf algebra and a Yetter-Drinfel'd module. We equip the latter with a structure of a braided Leibniz algebra. This provides a unified framework for examples of racks in the category of coalgebras discussed recently by Carter, Crans, Elhamdadi and Saito.
The aim of this note is to communicate a simple example of a Lie-Rinehart algebra whose enveloping algebra is not a Hopf algebroid in the sense of Boehm and Szlachanyi.
Twisted Calabi-Yau algebras are a generalisation of Ginzburg's notion of Calabi-Yau algebras. Such algebras A come equipped with a modular automorphism σ\in Aut(A), the case σ= id being precisely the original class of Calabi-Yau algebras. Here we prove that every twisted Calabi-Yau algebra may be extended to a Calabi-Yau algebra. More precisely, we show that if A is a twisted Calabi-Yau algebra with modular automorphism σ, then the smash product algebras A \rtimes_σN and A \rtimes_σZ are Calabi-Yau.
This article studies the algebraic structure of homology theories defined by a left Hopf algebroid U over a possibly noncommutative base algebra A, such as for example Hochschild, Lie algebroid (in particular Lie algebra and Poisson), or group and etale groupoid (co)homology. Explicit formulae for the canonical Gerstenhaber algebra structure on Ext_U(A,A) are given. The main technical result constructs a Lie derivative satisfying a generalised Cartan-Rinehart homotopy formula whose essence is that Tor^U(M,A) becomes for suitable right U-modules M a Batalin-Vilkovisky module over Ext_U(A,A), or in the words of Nest, Tamarkin, Tsygan and others, that Ext_U(A,A) and Tor^U(M,A) form a differential calculus. As an illustration, we show how the well-known operators from differential geometry in the classical Cartan homotopy formula can be obtained. Another application consists in generalising Ginzburg's result that the cohomology ring of a Calabi-Yau algebra is a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra to twisted Calabi-Yau algebras.
An analogue of a spectral triple over SUq(2) is constructed for which the usual assumption of bounded commutators with the Dirac operator fails. An analytic expression analogous to that for the Hochschild class of the Chern character for spectral triples yields a non-trivial twisted Hochschild 3-cocycle. The problems arising from the unbounded commutators are overcome by defining a residue functional using projections to cut down the Hilbert space.
This note discusses the cyclic cohomology of a left Hopf algebroid ($\times_A$-Hopf algebra) with coefficients in a right module-left comodule, defined using a straightforward generalisation of the original operators given by Connes and Moscovici for Hopf algebras. Lie-Rinehart homology is a special case of this theory. A generalisation of cyclic duality that makes sense for arbitrary para-cyclic objects yields a dual homology theory. The twisted cyclic homology of an associative algebra provides an example of this dual theory that uses coefficients that are not necessarily stable anti Yetter-Drinfel'd modules.
The fundamental Hochschild cohomology class of the standard Podles quantum sphere is expressed in terms of the spectral triple of Dabrowski and Sitarz by means of a residue formula.
