On some examples of simple quantum groups (Q4953295)

Let \(k\) be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Some finite dimensional \(k\)-Hopf algebras are studied here, specifically those that arise by twisting \(kG\) where \(G\) is a finite simple group. It is shown that there is a simple Hopf algebra denoted \(kG_\Omega\) which is not a group algebra although it has the same algebra structure and counit as \(kG\). The proof is obtained by looking when \(G\) has a rank \(2\) Abelian subgroup \(H\). It is then possible to construct a twist on \(H\) which then gets lifted the twist up to \(G\). Using the results of \textit{D. Gorenstein} and \textit{R. Lyons} [Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 276 (1983; Zbl 0519.20014)], the author provides a table illustrating when a simple group has such an \(H\).
