Hopf Algebra Approaches to Nonlinear Algebraic Equations (Q4802433)

The author generalizes the FRT-construction. Let \(M\) be a \(k\)-vector space and \(R\in\Hom(M^{\otimes p},M^{\otimes q})\). The algebra \(A(R)\) is defined as the quotient of the algebra \(\bigoplus_{n=0}^\infty\text{End}(M)^{\otimes n}\) by the relations \(RE^{(p)}_1E_2^{(p)}\cdots E_p^{(p)}=E_q^{(q)}E_{q-1}^{(q)}\cdots E_1^{(q)}R\) where \(E_i^{(s)}:=\text{id}_M^{\otimes i-1}\otimes E\otimes\text{id}_M^{\otimes s-i-1}\) and \(E=(e^i_j)\) is a standard basis of \(\text{End}(M)\). Then \(A(R)\) is a bialgebra and \(M\) is its comodule. The author then provides a necessary and sufficient condition for which \(M\) has the structure of an \(A(R)\)-module, the condition for which \(A(R)\) is a Hopf algebra and the structure of a pre-braided bialgebra on \(A(R)\), in terms of a matrix \(F\in\text{End}(M\otimes M)\). As examples, the author studies several cases when the operator \(R\) satisfies the Long equation, the Yang-Baxter equation or the Hopf equation.
