The Singularities of Quantum Groups
Motivated by the study by De Concini, Procesi and others of representations of quantum groups at roots of one, the author considers pairs \((H,C)\) where \(H\) is a complex prime Hopf algebra with center \(Z\) and \(C\) is a central Hopf subalgebra such that \(H\) is a finite \(C\)-module and \(Z\) is \(C\)-projective. It is shown that \(\text{Sep\,}H/C\hookrightarrow\text{Sm\,}H/C\hookrightarrow \text{Sm\,}Z/C\) and that \(\text{Sep\,}H/C=\text{Sm\,}H/C\) if in addition, \(H\) is a reflexive Azumaya algebra. Here the notation is as follows. Since \(C\) is commutative, \(C=\mathbb{C}[G]\) for some proalgebraic group \(G\). Then \(\text{Sm\,}H/C\), resp. \(\text{Sep\,}H/C\), is the smooth locus, resp. the separability locus; that is, the set of \(g\in G\) such that \(H\) is smooth in \(g\), resp. separable in \(g\). Consequences for quantized enveloping algebras and quantized coordinate algebras at a root of one are presented.
