Pointed Hopf algebras are free over Hopf subalgebras

Module Categories over Pointed Hopf Algebras

We develop some techniques for studying exact module categories over some families of pointed finite-dimensional Hopf algebras. As an application we classify exact module categories over the tensor category of representations of the small quantum groups uq(sl2).

Pointed Hopf Algebras over Non-abelian Groups

The class of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras is a field of current active research. The classification of these algebras has seen substantial progress since the development of the so-called “Lifting method” by Andruskiewitsch and Schneider. With this tool, the case in which the group of group-like elements is abelian is almost completed and recent results by these and other authors suc...

Normal Hopf Subalgebras of Semisimple Hopf Algebras

In this note the notion of kernel of a representation of a semisimple Hopf algebra is introduced. Similar properties to the kernel of a group representation are proved in some special cases. In particular, every normal Hopf subalgebra of a semisimple Hopf algebra H is the kernel of a representation of H

Duals of Pointed Hopf Algebras

In this paper, we study the duals of some finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras working over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. In particular, we study pointed Hopf algebras with coradical k[Γ] for Γ a finite abelian group, and with associated graded Hopf algebra of the form B(V )#k[Γ] where B(V ) is the Nichols algebra of V = ⊕iV χi gi ∈ k[Γ] k[Γ]YD. As a corollary to a ge...
