Hopf Structures on Ambiskew Polynomial Rings

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for an ambiskew polynomial ring to have a Hopf algebra structure of a certain type. This construction generalizes many known Hopf algebras, for example U(sl2), Uq(sl2) and the enveloping algebra of the 3-dimensional Heisenberg Lie algebra. In a torsion-free case we describe the finite-dimensional simple modules, in particular their dimensions and pr...

On Abelian Hopf Galois structures and finite commutative nilpotent rings

Let G be an elementary abelian p-group of rank n, with p an odd prime. In order to count the Hopf Galois structures of type G on a Galois extension of fields with Galois group G, we need to determine the orbits under conjugation by Aut(G) of regular subgroups of the holomorph of G that are isomorphic to G. The orbits correspond to isomorphism types of commutative nilpotent Fp-algebras N of dime...

On annihilator ideals in skew polynomial rings

This article examines annihilators in the skew polynomial ring $R[x;alpha,delta]$. A ring is strongly right $AB$ if everynon-zero right annihilator is bounded. In this paper, we introduce and investigate a particular class of McCoy rings which satisfy Property ($A$) and the conditions asked by P.P. Nielsen. We assume that $R$ is an ($alpha$,$delta$)-compatible ring, and prove that, if $R$ is ni...

Hopf Rings

The category of graded, bicommutative Hopf algebras over the prime eld with p elements is an abelian category which is equivalent, by work of Schoeller, to a category of graded modules, known as Dieudonn e modules. Graded ring objects in Hopf algebras are called Hopf rings, and they arise in the study of unstable cohomology operations for extraordinary cohomology theories. The central point of ...
