A Schur double centralizer theorem for cotriangular Hopf algebras and generalized Lie algebras (Q1335088)

In the paper of \textit{M. Cohen}, \textit{D. Fischman} and \textit{S. Westreich} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 122, No. 1, 19-29 (1994; see the preceding review Zbl 0818.16030)] Schur's double centralizer theorem was generalized to the case of the symmetric monoidal category \(_H{\mathcal M}\) over a triangular Hopf algebra \(H\). In this paper similar results are obtained for the category of comodules \(^H{\mathcal M}\) over a cotriangular Hopf algebra \(H\). A certain version of Radford's biproduct construction for Hopf algebras is used. Many examples of cotriangular structures on the group ring \(kG\) are given by bicharacters \(\alpha\). As a corollary, a generalization of Schur's double centralizer theorem for Lie color algebras \(\text{gl}_ \alpha (V)\) is given. Classically, Schur's theorem is used to study the representation theory of \(\text{GL}_ n (k)\) by using the representation theory of \(S_ n\). The explicit description of the centralizer of \(U( \text{gl}_ \alpha (V))\) may give a more direct way of studying representations of \(\text{gl}_ \alpha (V)\).
