Equivalent Crossed Products and Cross Product Bialgebras

Abstract

In a previous article we proved a result of the type “invariance under twisting” for Brzeziński's crossed products. In this article we prove a converse of this result, obtaining thus a characterization of what we call equivalent crossed products. As an application, we characterize cross product bialgebras (in the sense of Bespalov and Drabant) that are equivalent (in a certain sense) to a given cross product bialgebra in which one of the factors is a bialgebra and whose coalgebra structure is a tensor product coalgebra.
