Hopf algebras and their applications (16T05)

Abstract: Let $(A,Delta)$ be a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra. The linear dual $B$ of $A$ is again a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra. The duality is given by an element $VinBotimesA$, defined by $langleV,aotimesbangle=langlea,bangle$ where $ainA$ and $binB$. We use $langle,cdot,,,cdot,angle$ for the pairings. In the introduction of this paper, we recall the various properties of this element $V$ as sitting in the algebra $BotimesA$. More generally, we can consider an algebraic quantum group $(A,Delta)$. We use the term here for a regular multiplier Hopf algebra with integrals. For $B$ we now take the dual $widehatA$ of $A$. It is again an algebraic quantum group. In this case, the duality gives rise to an element $V$ in the multiplier algebra $M(BotimesA)$. Still, most of the properties of $V$ in the finite-dimensional case are true in this more general setting. The focus in this paper lies on various aspects of the duality between $A$ and its dual $widehatA$. Among other things we include a number of formulas relating the objects associated with an algebraic quantum group and its dual. This note is meant to give a comprehensive, yet concise (and sometimes simpler) account of these known results. This is part I of a series of three papers on this subject. The case of a multiplier Hopf ${}^{\ast }$-algebra with positive integrals is treated in detail in part II and part III.
