Tetramodules over a bialgebra form a 2-fold monoidal category

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This preprint contains a part of the results of our earlier preprint arXiv:0907.3335v2 presented in a form suitable for journal publication. It covers a construction of a 2-fold monoidal structure on the category of tetramodules, with all necessary definitions, and an overview of the results of R.Taillefer [Tai1,2] on tetramodules and the Gerstenhaber-Schack cohomology [GS] (formerly served as Appendix in arXiv:0907.3335v2), as well as a computation of the Gerstenhaber-Schack cohomology for the free commutative cocommutative bialgebra S(V), for a V is a vector space.


This paper concerns the construction of a 2-fold monoidal structure on the category of tetramodules over a bialgebra (over a base field). A 2-fold monoidal category is a usual monoidal category equipped with a monoidal bifunctor that is itself associative (in a suitable sense) and satisfies an exchange law with respect to the monoidal tensor. The author proves that the category of tetramodules (an infinitesimal deformation of a bialgebra) has a somewhat natural structure of a 2-fold monoidal category and he also provides an explicit description of this structure. Several consequences are then deduced from this main result.
