Abstract: We study super-braided Hopf algebras Lambda primitively generated by finite-dimensional right crossed (or Drinfeld-Radford-Yetter) modules Lambda1 over a Hopf algebra A which are quotients of the augmentation ideal A+ under right multiplication and the adjoint coaction. Here super-bosonisation Omega=AltimesLambda provides a bicovariant differential graded algebra on A. We introduce Lambdamax providing the maximal prolongation, while the canonical braided-exterior algebra Lambdamin=B−(Lambda1) provides the Woronowicz exterior calculus. In this context we introduce a Hodge star operator sharp by super-braided Fourier transform on B−(Lambda1) and left and right interior products by braided partial derivatives. Our new approach to the Hodge star (a) differs from previous approaches in that it is canonically determined by the differential calculus and (b) differs on key examples, having order 3 in middle degree on k[S3] with its 3D calculus and obeying the q-Hecke relation sharp2=1+(q−q−1)sharp in middle degree on kq[SL2] with its 4D calculus. Our work also provided a Hodge map on quantum plane calculi and a new starting point for calculi on coquasitriangular Hopf algebras A whereby any subcoalgebra LsubseteqA defines a sub braided-Lie algebra and Lambda1subseteqL∗ provides the required data A+oLambda1.


The present work concerns further developments in the theory of noncommutative differential geometry. More specifically, from a Hopf algebra \(A\) and a suitable Drinfeld-Radford-Yetter module \(\Lambda^{1}\) over \(A\), one may construct bicovariant differential graded algebras and structures on these generalising those of classical differential calculus. The main target in this article is the Hodge star operator. By the use of braided categories and the theory of super-Hopf algebras, the author introduces a Hodge star operator \(\sharp\), via a super-braided Fourier transform. This operator \(\sharp\) is determined by the chosen noncommutative differential calculus, rather than being imposed externally, and has the surprising feature that its square need not be of order two. In two detailed examples explained in the paper, of calculi on (i) the symmetric group of degree 3 and (ii) on \(SL_{2}\), one has respectively \(\sharp\) of order six, or \(\sharp\) satisfying the \(q\)-Hecke relation \(\sharp^{2}=\mathrm{id}+(q-q^{-1})\sharp\).
