Existence of Hopf subalgebras of GK-dimension two. (Q649858)

Let \(H\) be a pointed Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field \(K\) of characteristic zero. It is shown that if \(H\) is a domain with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension greater than or equal to \(2\) then \(H\) contains a Hopf subalgebra of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension \(2\). More precisely, a list of such possible Hopf subalgebras is provided, which includes the group algebra of the free Abelian group of rank \(2\), the enveloping algebra of a \(2\)-dimensional Lie algebra, and two classes of algebras introduced by \textit{K. R. Goodearl} and \textit{J. J. Zhang} [in J. Algebra 324, No. 11, 3131-3168 (2010; Zbl 1228.16030)].
