On a family of Hopf algebras of dimension 72. (Q690847)

The authors apply the lifting method to investigate a family of Hopf algebras of dimension \(72\) whose coradical is isomorphic to the algebra of functions on \(\mathbb S_3\). It is determined the lattice of submodules of the so-called Verma modules. As a consequence the authors classify all simple modules. It is shown that these Hopf algebras are unimodular (as well as their duals) but not quasitriangular; also, they are cocycle deformations of each other. It is believed that the representation theory of Hopf algebras with coradical which is isomorphic to the algebra of functions on a group \(G\) might be helpful to study Nichols algebras and deformations.
