Abstract: We investigate the property of being Frobenius for some functors strictly related with Hopf modules over a bialgebra and how this property reflects on the latter. In particular, we characterize one-sided Hopf algebras with anti-(co)multiplicative one-sided antipode as those for which the free Hopf module functor is Frobenius. As a by-product, this leads us to relate the property of being an FH-algebra (in the sense of Pareigis) for a given bialgebra with the property of being Frobenius for certain naturally associated functors.


The main motivation of this paper is to investigate the property of being Frobenius for some functors related with Hopf modules over a bialgebra in a category of modules over a commutative ring. Let \(\mathbb{K}\) be a commutative ring and let \(B\) a bialgebra over \(\mathbb{K}\). It is well-known that the free Hopf module functor \(-\otimes B\) is an equivalence of categories if and only if \(B\) admits an antipode. This functor always fits into an adjoint triple \(-\otimes_{B}\mathbb{K}\:\dashv \; -\otimes B\; \dashv \; (\;\;)^{coB}\) and then may be an interesting question to ask under which conditions \(-\otimes B\) is a Frobenius functor. The answer to this question can be found in Theorem 3.7 in the following way: The functor \(-\otimes B: {\mathfrak M}_{B}\rightarrow {\mathfrak M}_{B}^{B}\) is a Frobenius functor if and only if \(B\) is a right Hopf algebra with anti-(co)multiplicative right antipode \(S\). Then, as a consequence, the author of the paper under review characterizes one-sided Hopf algebras with anti-(co)multiplicative one-sided antipode as those for which the free Hopf module functor is Frobenius. Finally, In Section 4 the author clarifies some categorical implications of the main result proved in [\textit{B. Pareigis}, J. Algebra 18, 588--596 (1971; Zbl 0225.16008)] and investigates the connection between the Frobenius property for the functor \(-\otimes B: {\mathfrak M}_{B}\rightarrow {\mathfrak M}_{B}^{B}\) and the property of being a \(FH\)-algebra for \(B\) (i.e., B is a bialgebra which is also a Frobenius algebra such that the Frobenius morphism \(\psi\) is a right integral in \(B^{\ast}\)). The main characterisation of the \(FH\)-condition can be found in Theorem 4.14.
