Hopf-Galois extensions and twisted Hopf algebroids

Authors

Abstract: We show that the Ehresmann-Schauenburg bialgebroid of a quantum principal bundle

P

or Hopf Galois extension with structure quantum group

H

is in fact a left Hopf algebroid

L (P, H)

. We show further that if

H

is coquasitriangular then

L (P, H)

has an antipode map

S

obeying certain minimal axioms. Trivial quantum principal bundles or cleft Hopf Galois extensions with base

B

are known to be cocycle cross products

for a cocycle-action pair (

v a r t r i a n g l e r i g h t

,

s i g m a

) and we look at these of a certain `associative type' where

v a r t r i a n g l e r i g h t

is an actual action. In this case also, we show that the associated left Hopf algebroid has an antipode obeying our minimal axioms. We show that if

L

is any left Hopf algebroid then so is its cotwist

L^{v} a r s i g m a

as an extension of the previous bialgebroid Drinfeld cotwist theory. We show that in the case of associative type,

for a Hopf algebroid cotwist

v a r s i g m a = i l d e s i g m a

. Thus, switching on

s i g m a

of associative type appears at the Hopf algebroid level as a Drinfeld cotwist. We view the affine quantum group

h a t U_{q} (s l_{2})

and the quantum Weyl group of

u_{q} (s l_{2})

as examples of associative type.
