Abstract: We study the representations and their Frobenius-Schur indicators of two semisimple Hopf algebras related to the symmetric group Sn, namely the bismash products and its dual where k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. Both algebras are constructed using the standard representation of Sn as a factorizable group, that is Sn=Sn1Cn=CnSn1. We prove that for Hn, the indicators of all simple modules are +1. For the dual Hopf algebra , the indicator can have values either 0 or 1. When n=p, a prime, we obtain a precise result as to which representations have indicator +1 and which ones have 0; in fact as poinfty, the proportion of simple modules with indicator 1 becomes arbitrarily small. We also prove a result about Frobenius-Schur indicators for more general bismash products , coming from any factorizable group of the form L=FG such that FcongCp. We use the definition of Frobenius-Schur indicators for Hopf algebras, as described in work of Linchenko and the second author, which extends the classical theorem of Frobenius and Schur, for a finite group G.
