We construct bar-invariant $\mathbb{Z}\left[q^{\pm 1/2}\right]$-bases of the quantum cluster algebra of the valued quiver $A_2^{\left(2\right)}$, one of which coincides with the quantum analogue of the basis of the corresponding cluster algebra discussed in P. Sherman, A. Zelevinsky: Positivity and canonical bases in rank 2 cluster algebras of finite and affine types, Moscow Math. J., 4, 2004, 947–974.

Let $G$ be a group generated by a set of finite order elements. We prove that any bicrossed product $H_{m,d}\left(q\right)\bowtie k\left[G\right]$ between the generalized Taft algebra $H_{m,d}\left(q\right)$ and group algebra $k\left[G\right]$ is actually the smash product $H_{m,d}\left(q\right)♯k\left[G\right]$. Then we show that the classification of these smash products could be reduced to the description of the group automorphisms of $G$. As an application, the classification of $H_{m,d}\left(q\right)\bowtie k[C_{n_1}\times C_{n_2}]$ is completely presented by generators and relations, where $C_n$ denotes the $n$-cyclic group.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 81R50, 16W50, 16S36, 16S37.Let k be a field and X be a set of n elements. We introduce and study a class of quadratic k-algebras called quantum binomial algebras. Our main result shows that such an algebra A defines a solution of the classical Yang-Baxter equation (YBE), if and only if its Koszul dual A! is Frobenius of dimension n, with a regular socle and for each x, y ∈ X an equality of the type xyy = αzzt, where α ∈ k {0, and z, t ∈ X is satisfied...

Motivated by our attempts to construct an analogue of the Dirac operator in the setting of $U_q\left({\mathrm{𝔰𝔩}}_n\right)$, we write down explicitly the braided coproduct, antipode, and adjoint action for quantum algebra $U_q\left({\mathrm{𝔰𝔩}}_2\right)$. The braided adjoint action is seen to coincide with the ordinary quantum adjoint action, which also follows from the general results of S. Majid.

We continue our study of the category of Doi Hom-Hopf modules introduced in [Colloq. Math., to appear]. We find a sufficient condition for the category of Doi Hom-Hopf modules to be monoidal. We also obtain a condition for a monoidal Hom-algebra and monoidal Hom-coalgebra to be monoidal Hom-bialgebras. Moreover, we introduce morphisms between the underlying monoidal Hom-Hopf algebras, Hom-comodule algebras and Hom-module coalgebras, which give rise to functors between the category of Doi Hom-Hopf...
