Let $H_8$ be the unique noncommutative and noncocommutative eight dimensional semi-simple Hopf algebra. We first construct a weak Hopf algebra $\widetilde{H_8}$ based on $H_8$, then we investigate the structure of the representation ring of $\widetilde{H_8}$. Finally, we prove that the automorphism group of $r\left(\widetilde{H_8}\right)$ is just isomorphic to $D_6$, where $D_6$ is the dihedral group with order 12.

Let $Q$ be a finite union of Dynkin quivers, $G\subseteq \mathrm{Aut}\left(𝕜Q\right)$ a finite abelian group, $\widehat{Q}$ the generalized McKay quiver of $(Q,G)$ and ${\Gamma }_Q$ the Auslander-Reiten quiver of $𝕜Q$. Then $G$ acts functorially on the quiver ${\Gamma }_Q$. We show that the Auslander-Reiten quiver of $𝕜\widehat{Q}$ coincides with the generalized McKay quiver of $({\Gamma }_Q,G)$.

We first describe the Sekine quantum groups ${𝒜}_k$ (the finite-dimensional Kac algebra of Kac-Paljutkin type) by generators and relations explicitly, which maybe convenient for further study. Then we classify all irreducible representations of ${𝒜}_k$ and describe their representation rings $r\left({𝒜}_k\right)$. Finally, we compute the the Frobenius-Perron dimension of the Casimir element and the Casimir number of $r\left({𝒜}_k\right)$.

We investigate the representation theory of the positively based algebra $A_{m,d}$, which is a generalization of the noncommutative Green algebra of weak Hopf algebra corresponding to the generalized Taft algebra. It turns out that $A_{m,d}$ is of finite representative type if $d\le 4$, of tame type if $d=5$, and of wild type if $d\ge 6.$ In the case when $d\le 4$, all indecomposable representations of $A_{m,d}$ are constructed. Furthermore, their right cell representations as well as left cell representations of $A_{m,d}$ are described.
