Abstract: In [4], some quasi-Hopf algebras of dimension $n^3$, which can be understood as the quasi-Hopf analogues of Taft algebras, are constructed. Moreover, the quasi-Hopf analogues of generalized Taft algebras are considered in [7], where the language of the dual of a quasi-Hopf algebra is used. The Drinfeld doubles of such quasi-Hopf algebras are computed in this paper. The authors in [5] shew that the Drinfeld double of a quasi-Hopf algebra of dimension $n^3$ constructed in [4] is always twist equivalent to Lusztig's small quantum group $u_q(s{l}_2)$ if $n$ is odd. Based on computations and analysis, we show that this is emph{not} the case if $n$ is even. That is, the quasi-Hopf analogue $Q{u}_q(s{l}_2)$ of $u_q(s{l}_2)$ is gotten.

Review text

In this paper the author gives an explicit presentation of the Drinfel'd double of certain basic quasi-Hopf algebras \(A(n,s,q)\), which are dual to the pointed Majid algebras \(M(n,s,q)\) studied in his previous joint work with \textit{H.-L. Huang} and \textit{Y. Ye} [Commun. Math. Phys. 303, No. 3, 595--612 (2011; Zbl 1235.16028)], and that can be regarded as quasi-Hopf analogues of generalized Taft algebras. When \(s=n-1\) the corresponding quasi-Hopf algebra \(A(n,q):=A(n,n-1,q)\) is isomorphic to the quasi-Hopf algebra \(A(q)\) of dimension \(n^3\) constructed by \textit{S. Gelaki} [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 198, No. 1-3, 165--174 (2005; Zbl 1074.16024)]. It was shown by \textit{P. Etingof} and \textit{S. Gelaki} [J. Algebra 322, No. 7, 2580--2585 (2009; Zbl 1267.17010)] that in the case where \(n\) is odd, the Drinfel'd double \(D(A(n,q))\) is twist equivalent to Lusztig small quantum group \(u_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\). As a consequence of the results in this paper, the author shows that the same does not hold in the case where \(n\) is even. Furthermore, he gives sufficient conditions on \(n\) and \(s\) in order that \(A(n,s,q)\) is not twist equivalent to any Hopf algebra.
