We call a monoidal category C a Serre category if for any C, D ∈ C such that C ⊗ D is semisimple, C and D are semisimple objects in C. Let H be an involutory Hopf algebra, M, N two H-(co)modules such that M ⊗ N is (co)semisimple as a H-(co)module. If N (resp. M) is a finitely generated projective k-module with invertible Hattory-Stallings rank in k then M (resp. N) is (co)semisimple as a H-(co)module. In particular, the full subcategory of all finite dimensional modules, comodules or Yetter-Drinfel’d...

Quantum integrals associated to quantum Hom-Yetter-Drinfel’d modules are defined, and the affineness criterion for quantum Hom-Yetter-Drinfel’d modules is proved in the following form. Let (H,α) be a monoidal Hom-Hopf algebra, (A,β) an (H,α)-Hom-bicomodule algebra and $B=A^{coH}$. Under the assumption that there exists a total quantum integral γ: H → Hom(H,A) and the canonical map $\beta :A{\otimes }_{B}A\to A\otimes H$, $a{\otimes }_{B}b\mapsto S^{-1}\left(b_{\left[1\right]}\right)\alpha \left(b_{\left[0\right][-1]}\right)\otimes {\beta }^{-1}\left(a\right)\beta \left(b_{\left[0\right]\left[0\right]}\right)$, is surjective, we prove that the induction functor $A{\otimes }_B-:̃{{(}_k)}_B{\to }_A^H$ is an equivalence of categories.
