Some classifications of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras over Ha:y of Kashina

Let [Formula: see text] be the [Formula: see text]-dimensional nontrivial semisimple Hopf algebra [Formula: see text] appeared in Kashina’s work [Classification of semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension 16, J. Algebra 232(2) (2000) 617–663]. We obtain all simple Yetter–Drinfeld modules over [Formula: see text] and then determine all finite-dimensional Nichols algebras satisfying [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], each [Formula: see text] is a simple object in [Formula: see text]. Moreover, for Nichols algebras satisfying [Formula: see text], we list some infinite dimensional Nichols algebras [Formula: see text] and obtain finite dimensional Nichols algebras of diagonal type that are either super type or [Formula: see text]. Finally, we describe some liftings of those [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text].

Finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over the Suzuki algebras II: Simple Yetter–Drinfeld modules of AN2n+1μλ

In this paper, the author gives a complete set of simple Yetter–Drinfeld modules over the Suzuki algebra [Formula: see text] and investigates the Nichols algebras over those irreducible Yetter–Drinfeld modules. The finite-dimensional Nichols algebras of diagonal type are of Cartan type [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], Super type [Formula: see text] and the Nichols algebra [Formula: see text]. And the involved finite-dimensional Nichols algebras of non-diagonal type are [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]-dimensional. The left three unsolved cases are set as open problems. In particular, all finite-dimensional Nichols algebras are given for simple Yetter–Dinfeld modules over [Formula: see text].

Higher Braidings of Diagonal Type

Heckenberger introduced the Weyl groupoid of a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra of diagonal type. We replace the matrix of its braiding by a higher tensor and present a construction which yields further Weyl groupoids. Abelian cohomology theory gives evidence for the existence of a higher braiding associated to such a tensor.

Finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over the Suzuki algebras I: simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules of $A_{N\,2n}^{\mu\lambda}$

The Suzuki algebra $A_{Nn}^{\mu \lambda}$, introduced by Suzuki Satoshi in 1998, is a class of cosemisimple Hopf algebras. It is not categorically Morita-equivalent to a group algebra in general. In this paper, the author gives a complete set of simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules over the Suzuki algebra $A_{N\,2n}^{\mu\lambda}$ and investigates the Nichols algebras over those simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules. The involved finite dimensional Nichols algebras of diagonal type are of Cartan type $A_1$, $A_1\times A_1$, $A_2$, $A_2\times A_2$, Super type ${\bf A}_{2}(q;\I_2)$ and the Nichols algebra $\ufo(8)$. There are $64$, $4m$ and $m^2$-dimensional Nichols algebras of non-diagonal type over $A_{N\,2n}^{\mu \lambda}$. The $64$-dimensional Nichols algebras are of dihedral rack type $\Bbb{D}_4$. The $4m$ and $m^2$-dimensional Nichols algebras $\mathfrak{B}(V_{abe})$ discovered first by Andruskiewitsch and Giraldi can be realized in the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over $A_{Nn}^{\mu \lambda}$. Using a result of Masuoka, we prove that $\dim\mathfrak{B}(V_{abe})=\infty$ under the condition $b^2=(ae)^{-1}$, $b\in\Bbb{G}_{m}$ for $m\geq 5$.

Cohomology rings of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras over abelian groups

We show that the cohomology ring of a finite-dimensional complex pointed Hopf algebra with an abelian group of group-like elements is finitely generated. Our strategy has three major steps. We first reduce the problem to the finite generation of cohomology of finite dimensional Nichols algebras of diagonal type. For the Nichols algebras, we do a detailed analysis of cohomology via the Anick resolution reducing the problem further to specific combinatorial properties. Finally, to check these properties, we turn to the classification of Nichols algebras of diagonal type due to Heckenberger. In this paper, we complete the verification of these combinatorial properties for major parametric families, including Nichols algebras of Cartan and super types and develop all the theoretical foundations necessary for the case-by-case analysis. The remaining discrete families are addressed in a separate publication. As an application of the main theorem, we deduce finite generation of cohomology for other classes of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras, including basic Hopf algebras with abelian groups of characters and finite quotients of quantum groups at roots of one.

Lie Algebras Arising from Nichols Algebras of Diagonal Type

Abstract Let $\mathcal{B}_{\mathfrak{q}}$ be a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra of diagonal type with braiding matrix $\mathfrak{q}$, $\mathcal{L}_{\mathfrak{q}}$ be the corresponding Lusztig algebra as in [ 4], and $\operatorname{Fr}_{\mathfrak{q}}: \mathcal{L}_{\mathfrak{q}} \to U(\mathfrak{n}^{\mathfrak{q}})$ be the corresponding quantum Frobenius map as in [ 5]. We prove that the finite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{n}^{\mathfrak{q}}$ is either 0 or the positive part of a semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}^{\mathfrak{q}}$, which is determined for each $\mathfrak{q}$ in the list of [ 25].

Finite Cartan Graphs Attached to Nichols Algebras of Diagonal Type

Nichols algebras are fundamental objects in the construction of quantized enveloping algebras and in the classification of pointed Hopf algebras by the lifting method of Andruskiewitsch and Schneider. The structure of Cartan graphs can be attached to any Nichols algebras of diagonal type and plays an important role in the classification of Nichols algebras of diagonal type with a finite root system. In this paper, the main properties of all simply connected Cartan graphs attached to rank 6 Nichols algebras of diagonal type are determined. As an application, we obtain a subclass of rank 6 finite dimensional Nichols algebras of diagonal type.

Constructing Non-Semisimple Modular Categories With Relative Monoidal Centers

Abstract This paper is a contribution to the construction of non-semisimple modular categories. We establish when Müger centralizers inside non-semisimple modular categories are also modular. As a consequence, we obtain conditions under which relative monoidal centers give (non-semisimple) modular categories, and we also show that examples include representation categories of small quantum groups. We further derive conditions under which representations of more general quantum groups, braided Drinfeld doubles of Nichols algebras of diagonal type, give (non-semisimple) modular categories.

On finite GK-dimensional Nichols algebras over abelian groups

We contribute to the classification of Hopf algebras with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension, GKdim \operatorname {GKdim} for short, through the study of Nichols algebras over abelian groups. We deal first with braided vector spaces over Z \mathbb {Z} with the generator acting as a single Jordan block and show that the corresponding Nichols algebra has finite GKdim \operatorname {GKdim} if and only if the size of the block is 2 and the eigenvalue is ± 1 \pm 1 ; when this is 1, we recover the quantum Jordan plane. We consider next a class of braided vector spaces that are direct sums of blocks and points that contains those of diagonal type. We conjecture that a Nichols algebra of diagonal type has finite GKdim \operatorname {GKdim} if and only if the corresponding generalized root system is finite. Assuming the validity of this conjecture, we classify all braided vector spaces in the mentioned class whose Nichols algebra has finite GKdim \operatorname {GKdim} . Consequently we present several new examples of Nichols algebras with finite GKdim \operatorname {GKdim} , including two not in the class alluded to above. We determine which among these Nichols algebras are domains.

Bivariate continuous q-Hermite polynomials and deformed quantum Serre relations

To Nicolás Andruskiewitsch on his 60th birthday, with admiration We introduce bivariate versions of the continuous [Formula: see text]-Hermite polynomials. We obtain algebraic properties for them (generating function, explicit expressions in terms of the univariate ones, backward difference equations and recurrence relations) and analytic properties (determining the orthogonality measure). We find a direct link between bivariate continuous [Formula: see text]-Hermite polynomials and the star product method of [S. Kolb and M. Yakimov, Symmetric pairs for Nichols algebras of diagonal type via star products, Adv. Math. 365 (2020), Article ID: 107042, 69 pp.] for quantum symmetric pairs to establish deformed quantum Serre relations for quasi-split quantum symmetric pairs of Kac–Moody type. We prove that these defining relations are obtained from the usual quantum Serre relations by replacing all monomials by multivariate orthogonal polynomials.

Rank 4 finite-dimensional Nichols algebras of diagonal type in positive characteristic

Nichols algebras are fundamental objects in the construction of quantized enveloping algebras and in the classification of pointed Hopf algebras by lifting method of Andruskiewitsch and Schneider. Arithmetic root systems are invariants of Nichols algebras of diagonal type with a certain finiteness property. In the present paper, all rank 4 Nichols algebras of diagonal type with a finite arithmetic root system over fields of arbitrary characteristic are classified. Our proof uses the classification of the finite arithmetic root systems of rank 4.

Symmetric pairs for Nichols algebras of diagonal type via star products

We construct symmetric pairs for Drinfeld doubles of pre-Nichols algebras of diagonal type and determine when they possess an Iwasawa decomposition. This extends G. Letzter's theory of quantum symmetric pairs. Our results can be uniformly applied to Kac–Moody quantum groups for a generic quantum parameter, for roots of unity in respect to both big and small quantum groups, to quantum supergroups and to exotic quantum groups of ufo type. We give a second construction of symmetric pairs for Heisenberg doubles in the above generality and prove that they always admit an Iwasawa decomposition.For symmetric pair coideal subalgebras with Iwasawa decomposition in the above generality we then address two problems which are fundamental already in the setting of quantum groups. Firstly, we show that the symmetric pair coideal subalgebras are isomorphic to intrinsically defined deformations of partial bosonizations of the corresponding pre-Nichols algebras. To this end we develop a general notion of star products on N-graded connected algebras which provides an efficient tool to prove that two deformations of the partial bosonization are isomorphic. The new perspective also provides an effective algorithm for determining the defining relations of the coideal subalgebras.Secondly, for Nichols algebras of diagonal type, we use the linear isomorphism between the coideal subalgebra and the partial bosonization to give an explicit construction of quasi K-matrices as sums over dual bases. We show that the resulting quasi K-matrices give rise to weakly universal K-matrices in the above generality.

On some root multiplicities for Nichols algebras of diagonal type over arbitrary fields

In this article, our main aim is to determine the multiplicities of a class of roots for Nichols algebra of diagonal type over fields of arbitrary characteristic, which is a generalization of the results on the multiplicities of these roots over fields of characteristic zero obtained by Heckenberger and the author.

The unrolled quantum group inside Lusztig’s quantum group of divided powers

In this letter we prove that the unrolled small quantum group, appearing in quantum topology, is a Hopf subalgebra of Lusztig’s quantum group of divided powers. We do so by writing down non-obvious primitive elements with the correct adjoint action. As application, we explain how this gives a realization of the unrolled quantum group as operators on a conformal field theory and match some calculations on this side. In particular, our results explain a prominent weight shift that appears in Feigin and Tipunin (Logarithmic CFTs connected with simple Lie algebras, preprint, 2010. arXiv:1002.5047 ). Our result extends to other Nichols algebras of diagonal type, including super-Lie algebras.

Liftings of Nichols algebras of diagonal type II: all liftings are cocycle deformations

We classify finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras with abelian coradical, up to isomorphism, and show that they are cocycle deformations of the associated graded Hopf algebra. More generally, for any braided vector space of diagonal type V with a principal realization in the category of Yetter–Drinfeld modules of a cosemisimple Hopf algebra H and such that the Nichols algebra $$\mathfrak {B}(V)$$ is finite-dimensional, thus presented by a finite set $${{\mathcal {G}}}$$ of relations, we define a family of Hopf algebras $$\mathfrak {u}(\varvec{\lambda })$$ , $$\varvec{\lambda }\in \Bbbk ^{{{\mathcal {G}}}}$$ , which are cocycle deformations of $$\mathfrak {B}(V)\# H$$ and such that $${\text {gr}}\mathfrak {u}(\varvec{\lambda })\simeq \mathfrak {B}(V)\# H$$ .

A Pascal-like bound for the number of necklaces with fixed density

A bound resembling Pascal's identity is presented for binary necklaces with fixed density using Lyndon words with fixed density. The result is generalized to k-ary necklaces and Lyndon words with fixed content. The bound arises in the study of Nichols algebras of diagonal type.

On subsequences of quiddity cycles and Nichols algebras

We provide a tool to obtain local descriptions of quiddity cycles. As an application, we classify rank two affine Nichols algebras of diagonal type.

Factorization of Graded Traces on Nichols Algebras

A ubiquitous observation for finite-dimensional Nichols algebras is that as a graded algebra the Hilbert series factorizes into cyclotomic polynomials. For Nichols algebras of diagonal type (e.g., Borel parts of quantum groups), this is a consequence of the existence of a root system and a Poincare-Birkhoff-Witt (PBW) basis basis, but, for nondiagonal examples (e.g., Fomin–Kirillov algebras), this is an ongoing surprise. In this article, we discuss this phenomenon and observe that it continues to hold for the graded character of the involved group and for automorphisms. First, we discuss thoroughly the diagonal case. Then, we prove factorization for a large class of nondiagonal Nichols algebras obtained by the folding construction. We conclude empirically by listing all remaining examples, which were in size accessible to the computer algebra system GAP and find that again all graded characters factorize.
