Abstract: We discuss an example of a triangulated Hopf category related to SL(2). It is an equivariant derived category equipped with multiplication and comultiplication functors and structure isomorphisms. We prove some coherence equations for structure isomorphisms. In particular, the Hopf category is monoidal.


The author studies an example of a triangulated Hopf category related to \(\text{SL}(2)\). In his approach to quantum groups, Lusztig obtained braided deformations of universal enveloping algebras for some nilpotent Lie algebras \(n_+\) together with canonical bases of these braided Hopf algebras. The elements of the canonical basis are contained in a semi-simple Abelian category of semi-simple complexes. To study this category, \textit{L. Crane} and \textit{I. B. Frenkel} proposed a notion of Hopf category and gave an example of a Hopf category related to \(\text{sl}(2)\) [see J. Math. Phys. 35, No. 10, 5136-5154 (1994; Zbl 0892.57014)]. In this paper, the author is discussing an example of a related notion: the triangulated Hopf category. He shows that this category is an equivariant derived category equipped with multiplication and comultiplication functors and structure isomorphisms; in particular it is a monoidal category. Finally, he shows that this new structure does not induce a Hopf category structure in the sense of Crane and Frenkel.
