On the structure of graded λ-Hopf algebras

Abstract

Let G be an abelian group, B the G-graded λ-Hopf algebra with λ being a bicharacter on G. By introducing some new twisted algebras (coalgebras), we investigate the basic properties of the graded antipode and the structure for B. We also prove that a G-graded λ-Hopf algebra can be embedded in a usual Hopf algebra. As an application, it is given that if G is a finite abelian group then the graded antipode of a finite dimensional G-graded λ-Hopf algebra is invertible.
