Some Quasitensor Autoequivalences of Drinfeld Doubles of Finite Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on two classes of autoequivalences of the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over a finite group, or, equivalently the Drinfeld center of the category of representations of a finite group. Both operations are related to the r-th power operation, with r relatively prime to the exponent of the group. One is defined more generally for the group-theoretical fusion category defined by a finite group and an arbitrary subgroup, while the other seems particular to the case of Yetter-Drinfeld modules. Both autoequivalences preserve higher Frobenius-Schur indicators up to Galois conjugation, and they preserve tensor products, although neither of them can in general be endowed with the structure of a

Braid Group Representations from Twisted Quantum Doubles of Finite Groups
We investigate the braid group representations arising from categories of representations of twisted quantum doubles of finite groups. For these categories, we show that the resulting braid group representations always factor through finite groups, in contrast to the categories associated with quantum groups at roots of unity. We also show that in the case of p-groups, the corresponding pure br...
متن کاملYetter-drinfeld Modules under Cocycle Twists
We give an explicit formula for the correspondence between simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules for certain finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras H and those for cocycle twists H of H. This implies an equivalence between modules for their Drinfeld doubles. To illustrate our results, we consider the restricted two-parameter quantum groups ur,s(sln) under conditions on the parameters guaranteeing th...
متن کاملCohomology for Drinfeld Doubles of Some Infinitesimal Group Schemes
Consider a field k of characteristic p > 0, G(r) the r-th Frobenius kernel of a smooth algebraic group G, DG(r) the Drinfeld double of G(r), and M a finite dimensional DG(r)-module. We prove that the cohomology algebra H(DG(r), k) is finitely generated and that H(DG(r),M) is a finitely generated module over this cohomology algebra. We exhibit a finite map of algebras θr : H(G(r), k) ⊗ S(g) → H(...
متن کاملOn a quantum analog of the Grothendieck-Teichmüller group
We introduce a self-dual, noncommutative, and noncocommutative Hopf algebra HGT which takes for certain Hopf categories (and therefore braided monoidal bicategories) a similar role as the GrothendieckTeichmüller group for quasitensor categories. We also give a result which highly restricts the possibility for similar structures for higher weak n-categories (n ≥ 3) by showing that these structur...
متن کاملQuantum double and κ-Poincaré symmetries in (2+1)-gravity and Chern-Simons theory
We review the role of Drinfeld doubles and κ-Poincaré symmetries in quantised (2+1)gravity and Chern-Simons theory. We discuss the conditions under which a given Hopf algebra symmetry is compatible with a Chern-Simons theory and determine this compatibility explicitly for the Drinfeld doubles and κ-Poincaré symmetries associated with the isometry groups of (2+1)-gravity. In particular, we expla...
