Finite-dimensional representations of a quantum double (Q1851335)

Let \(T_n\) be the \(n^2\)-dimensional Taft Hopf algebra over a field \(k\), where \(k\) contains a primitive \(n\)-th root of unity. Let \(D_n\) be the Drinfeld double of \(T_n\). When \(n\) is odd, \(D_n\) is a ribbon quasi-triangular Hopf algebra of dimension \(n^4\) over \(k\). In a previous paper, the author described and classified the \(n^2\) distinct (up to isomorphism) irreducible \(D_n\)-modules [J. Algebra 225, No.~1, 391-409 (2000; Zbl 0952.16032)]. In the paper under review, he studies the finite-dimensional representations of \(D_3\), of which there are 9 (up to isomorphism) irreducible ones. The indecomposable \(D_3\)-modules \(M\) are discussed in terms of \((m,n)\)-type, which means that the radical (Loewy) length of the socle of \(M\) is \(n\), and the radical length of \(M\) modulo its socle is \(m\). If \(m<n\), then \(n=m+1\) and \(M\) is obtained by iterating \(m\) times a cosyzygy functor on some of the 9 irreducible modules. If \(n<m\), then \(m=n+1\) and one iterates \(n\) times a syzygy functor. Then minimal projective resolutions, minimal injective resolutions and almost split sequences involving the irreducible modules are given, as well as some connected components of the Auslander-Reiten quiver of \(D_3\). The last part of the paper studies the indecomposables of \((n,n)\)-type. Some specific ones are constructed and some almost split sequences involving them are given. Then, if \(k\) is algebraically closed, the \((n,n)\)-type indecomposables can be explicitly described. Putting everything together when \(k\) is algebraically closed, the indecomposable \(D_3\)-modules can be described and classified.
