On coquasitriangular bialgebras

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The paper deals with three topics on coquasitriangular bialgebras. A characterization of universal r-forms in terms of Yetter-Drinfeld modules is given. All universal r-forms for the coordinate Hopf algebras of the quantum groups GL_q(N), SL_q(N), O_q(N) and Sp_q(N) are described. It is well-known that the square of the antipode of a coquasitriangular Hopf algebra A with universal r-form r can be expressed by means of the linear functional f_r(a)=r(a_{(1)}otimes S(a_{(2)})), ain A. For the standard compact matrix groups the functional f_r is related to the Woronowicz modular character f_{-2}.


A coquasitriangular bialgebra \(A\) is a bialgebra equipped with a universal \(r\)-form. This paper gives a characterization of such forms in terms of certain Yetter-Drinfeld modules. Then it studies the uniqueness of such forms in the case of \(\text{GL}_q(N)\), \(\text{SL}_q(N)\), \(\text{O}_q(N)\), and \(\text{Sp}_q(N)\). Finally it describes a character on \(A\) which in some cases coincides with Woronowicz's modular character \(f_{-2}\).
