Duality functors for quantum groupoids (Q2354785)

This paper gives some new results for the theory of quantum groupoids. First, the authors recall the relevant notions and results of the theory of Li-Rinehart algebras and bialgebras. Then, they introduce some basics of the theory of bialgebroids. The examples of the universal enveloping agebras and jet spaces for Lie-Rinehart algebras are explicitly described. The quantum groupoids are then introduced. A suitable version of a quantum duality principle for quantum groupoids is also obtained. This version generalizes what is known for quantum groups.
