On primitively generated braided bialgebras.

Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to investigate the structure of primitively generated connected braided bialgebras A with respect to the braided vector space P consisting of their primitive elements. When the Nichols algebra of P is obtained dividing out the tensor algebra T(P) by the two-sided ideal generated by its primitive elements of degree at least two, we show that A can be recovered as a sort of universal enveloping algebra of P. One of the main applications of our construction is the description, in terms of universal enveloping algebras, of connected braided bialgebras whose associated graded coalgebra is a quadratic algebra.


Let \(A\) be a primitively generated braided bialgebra. Then the braiding \(c\colon A\otimes A\to A\otimes A\) induces a braiding \(c_P\colon P\otimes P\to P\otimes P\), where \(P\) is the space of primitive elements of \(A\), and this induces a braided bialgebra structure on the tensor algebra \(T(P)\). The author shows that if the Nichols algebra of \((P,c_P)\) is the factor of \(T(P)\) by the ideal generated by the homogeneous primitive elements of degree at least two, then \(A\) can be recovered as some kind of universal enveloping algebra of \(P\). In particular, this result holds when \(A\) is a braided bialgebra such that \(\text{gr}(A)\), the graded coalgebra associated to the coradical filtration of \(A\), is a quadratic algebra with respect to its braided bialgebra structure.
