Construct weak Hopf algebras by using Borcherds matrix.

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We define a new kind quantized enveloping algebra of a generalized Kac-Moody algebra mathcalG by adding a new generator J satisfying Jm=J for some integer m. We denote this algebra by wUqau(mathcalG). This algebra is a weak Hopf algebra if and only if m=2,3. In general, it is a bialgebra, and contains a Hopf subalgebra. This Hopf subalgebra is isomorphic to the usually quantum envelope algebra Uq(mathcalG) of a generalized Kac-Moody algebra mathcalG.


Some examples of weak Hopf algebras are provided by extending the quantized Kac-Moody algebras. This is obtained by relaxing the invertibility of the torus part by some regular monoid. Some concrete structure and representations are also studied.
