Finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras over finite simple groups of Lie type VI. Suzuki and Ree groups (Q2207278)

The paper under review is the sixth in a series of papers published under the common title ``Finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras over finite simple groups of Lie type''. The authors of the five previous papers were \textit{N. Andruskiewitsch} et al. [J. Algebra 442, 36--65 (2015; Zbl 1338.16034); Commun. Contemp. Math. 18, No. 4, Article ID 1550053, 35 p. (2016; Zbl 1357.16047); Rev. Mat. Iberoam. 33, No. 3, 995--1024 (2017; Zbl 1377.16024); Algebr. Represent. Theory 23, No. 3, 621--655 (2020; Zbl 1442.16031); Manuscr. Math. 166, No. 3--4, 605--647 (2021; Zbl 1493.16028)]. In the present paper, the authors discuss the following conjecture: Let \(G\) be a finite simple non-abelian group. Then the Nichols algebra \(\mathcal{B}(V)\) is infinite-dimensional for every complex Yetter-Drinfeld module \(V\) of \(G\). Thus the only finite-dimensional complex pointed Hopf algebra whose the group of grouplike elements is \(G\) is the group algebra \(\mathbb{C}G\). The authors prove that this conjecture holds if \(G\) is a simple Suzuki or Ree group.
