As generalizations of separable and Frobenius algebras, separable and Frobenius monoidal Hom-algebras are introduced. They are all related to the Hom-Frobenius-separability equation (HFS-equation). We characterize these two Hom-algebraic structures by the same central element and different normalizing conditions, and the structure of these two types of monoidal Hom-algebras is studied. The Nakayama automorphisms of Frobenius monoidal Hom-algebras are considered.

Let $̃{(}_k){\left(H\right)}_A^C$ be the category of Doi Hom-Hopf modules, $̃{{(}_k)}_A$ be the category of A-Hom-modules, and F be the forgetful functor from $̃{(}_k){\left(H\right)}_A^C$ to $̃{{(}_k)}_A$. The aim of this paper is to give a necessary and suffcient condition for F to be separable. This leads to a generalized notion of integral. Finally, applications of our results are given. In particular, we prove a Maschke type theorem for Doi Hom-Hopf modules.

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...
