Coquasitriangular structures for extensions of Hopf algebras. Applications.

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let AsubseteqE be an extension of Hopf algebras such that there exists a normal left A-module coalgebra map pi:EoA that splits the inclusion. We shall describe the set of all coquasitriangular structures on the Hopf algebra E in terms of the datum (A,E,pi) as follows: first, any such extension E is isomorphic to a unified product AltimesH, for some unitary subcoalgebra H of E (cite{am2}). Then, as a main theorem, we establish a bijective correspondence between the set of all coquasitriangular structures on an arbitrary unified product AltimesH and a certain set of datum (p,au,u,v) related to the components of the unified product. As the main application, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for Majid's infinite dimensional quantum double to be a coquasitriangular Hopf algebra. Several examples are worked out in detail.
