Clifford-type algebras as cleft extensions for some pointed hopf algebras (Q4944375)

Let \(k\) be a commutative ring and \(n\) a positive integer. The aim of the paper is to investigate \(E(n)\)-cleft extensions, where \(E(n)\) is a certain Hopf algebra presented by generators and relations, free of rank \(2^{n+1}\) over \(k\). In the case where \(k\) is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, \(E(n)\) is the unique (up to isomorphism) pointed Hopf algebra of dimension \(2^{n+1}\) and with coradical \(kC_2\). A criterion for cleftness over \(E(n)\) is given, and the \(E(n)\)-cleft extensions of \(k\) are completely described as Clifford-type algebras.
