Combinatorial Hopf algebras and towers of algebras -- dimension, quantization and functorality. (Q1926568)

Let \(A=\bigoplus_{n\geq 0}A_n\) be a tower of algebras as defined by \textit{N. Bergeron} and \textit{H. Li} [J. Algebra 321, No. 8, 2068-2084 (2009; Zbl 1185.16008)], where they show that for such a tower the Grothendieck groups of categories of finitely generated projective left \(A\)-modules, respectively of all left \(A\)-modules, form a pair of graded dual Hopf algebras. In the paper under review it is proved that in the above framework one has \(\dim(A_n)=\dim(A_1)^n\cdot n!\) for any \(n\). A quantum version of this result, involving \(q\)-twisted Hopf algebras, is also proved.
