      Let \((A,R)\) be a triangular pointed Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. The author first shows that if \((A,R)\) is minimal, i.e., \(A\) is the smallest sub Hopf algebra with \(R\) in \(A\otimes A\), then \(A\) is a biproduct, one of whose factors is the group algebra of \(G(A)\), which itself has a minimal triangular structure with the same Drinfeld element as \(A\). Then he shows that \((A,R)\), not necessarily minimal, satisfies \(S^4=\text{Id}\), for \(S\) the antipode of \(A\). He describes a method of construction of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras which admit a minimal triangular structure, and classifies all their minimal triangular structures. Finally, he proves that any minimal triangular pointed Hopf algebra which is generated as an algebra by group-like elements and skew-primitive elements is isomorphic to a minimal triangular pointed Hopf algebra constructed by his method.
