Quasitriangular Hom-Hopf algebras

Yuanyuan Chen, Zhongwei Wang, Liangyun Zhang (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A twisted generalization of quasitriangular Hopf algebras called quasitriangular Hom-Hopf algebras is introduced. We characterize these algebras in terms of certain morphisms. We also give their equivalent description via a braided monoidal category ̃ ( H ) . Finally, we study the twisting structure of quasitriangular Hom-Hopf algebras by conjugation with Hom-2-cocycles.

Quasitriangular Hopf group algebras and braided monoidal categories

Shiyin Zhao, Jing Wang, Hui-Xiang Chen (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let π be a group, and H be a semi-Hopf π -algebra. We first show that the category H of left π -modules over H is a monoidal category with a suitably defined tensor product and each element α in π induces a strict monoidal functor F α from H to itself. Then we introduce the concept of quasitriangular semi-Hopf π -algebra, and show that a semi-Hopf π -algebra H is quasitriangular if and only if the category H is a braided monoidal category and F α is a strict braided monoidal functor for any α π . Finally,...

Quiver bialgebras and monoidal categories

Hua-Lin Huang, Blas Torrecillas (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study bialgebra structures on quiver coalgebras and monoidal structures on the categories of locally nilpotent and locally finite quiver representations. It is shown that the path coalgebra of an arbitrary quiver admits natural bialgebra structures. This endows the category of locally nilpotent and locally finite representations of an arbitrary quiver with natural monoidal structures from bialgebras. We also obtain theorems of Gabriel type for pointed bialgebras and hereditary finite pointed...

Reedy categories which encode the notion of category actions

Julia E. Bergner, Philip Hackney (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We study a certain type of action of categories on categories and on operads. Using the structure of the categories Δ and Ω governing category and operad structures, respectively, we define categories which instead encode the structure of a category acting on a category, or a category acting on an operad. We prove that the former has the structure of an elegant Reedy category, whereas the latter has the structure of a generalized Reedy category. In particular, this approach gives a new way to regard...

Relating quantum and braided Lie algebras

X. Gomez, S. Majid (2003)

Banach Center Publications

We outline our recent results on bicovariant differential calculi on co-quasitriangular Hopf algebras, in particular that if Γ is a quantum tangent space (quantum Lie algebra) for a CQT Hopf algebra A, then the space k Γ is a braided Lie algebra in the category of A-comodules. An important consequence of this is that the universal enveloping algebra U ( Γ ) is a bialgebra in the category of A-comodules.
