Smash (co)products and skew pairings (Q1348600)

Let \(\mathcal C\) be a strict symmetric monoidal category with equalizers and coequalizers. Let \(B\) and \(H\) be Hopf algebras and \(\tau\) be an invertible skew pairing on \((B,H)\). In this case, one can get a double crossproduct Hopf algebra \(B\bowtie_\tau H\) in \(\mathcal C\). Assume that \(H\) is quasitriangular in \(\mathcal C\). In this paper, the authors obtain a new algebra structure such that \(B\) is a Hopf algebra in the braided category \(^H_H\mathcal{YD}\). Hence one can form a Hopf algebra \(B\infty H\) in \(\mathcal C\) with smash product algebra structure and smash coproduct coalgebra structure. The authors prove that there exists a Hopf algebra isomorphism \(B\infty H\to B\bowtie_\tau H\) in \(\mathcal C\).
