Cambrian trees are oriented and labeled trees which fulfill local conditions around each node generalizing the conditions for classical binary search trees. Based on the bijective correspondence between signed permutations and leveled Cambrian trees, we define the Cambrian Hopf algebra generalizing J.-L. Loday and M. Ronco’s algebra on binary trees. We describe combinatorially the products and ...

An isomorphism is established between the plethystic Hopf algebra Pleth(Super[L]) and the algebra of vector symmetric functions. The Hall inner product of symmetric function theory is extended to the Hopf algebra Pleth(Super[L]).

The Clebsch-Gordan and Racah-Wigner coefficients for the positive (or negative) discrete series of irreducible representations for the noncompact form Uq(SU(1, 1)) of the algebra Uq(sl(2)) are computed. n0. Introduction Now it is well known the great significance which the Clebsch-Gordan and RacahWigner coefficients for the algebra Uq(SU(2)) has in the conformal field theory, topological field ...

The particles with a scattering matrix R(x) are defined as operators Φi(z) satisfying the relation R j′,i′ i,j (x1/x2)Φi′(x1)Φj′ (x2) = Φi(x2)Φj(x1). The algebra generated by those operators is called a Zamolochikov algebra. We construct a new Hopf algebra by adding half of the FRTS construction of a quantum affine algebra with this R(x). Then we double it to obtain a new Hopf algebra such that...

In previous joint work with Eli Aljadeff we attached a generic Hopf Galois extension A H to each twisted algebra H obtained from a Hopf algebra H by twisting its product with the help of a cocycle α. The algebra A H is a flat deformation of H over a “big” central subalgebra B H and can be viewed as the noncommutative analogue of a versal torsor in the sense of Serre. After surveying the results...

Group algebras are Hopf algebras, and their Hopf structure plays crucial roles in representation theory and cohomology of groups. A Hopf algebra is an algebra A (say over a field k) that has a comultiplication (∆ : A → A ⊗k A) generalizing the diagonal map on group elements, an augmentation (ε : A → k) generalizing the augmentation on a group algebra, and an antipode (S : A → A) generalizing th...

We show that over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero a Hopf algebra with central Hopf algebra coradical has a PBW basis after some localization of the coradical.

We study forms of coalgebras and Hopf algebras (i.e. coalgebras and Hopf algebras which are isomorphic after a suitable extension of the base field). We classify all forms of grouplike coalgebras according to the structure of their simple subcoalgebras. For Hopf algebras, given a W ∗-Galois field extension K ⊆ L for W a finite-dimensional semisimple Hopf algebra and a K-Hopf algebra H, we show ...

We introduce a quantum double quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra D(H) associated to any quasi-Hopf algebra H. The algebra structure is a cocycle double cross product. We use categorical reconstruction methods. As an example, we recover the quasi-Hopf algebra of Dijkgraaf, Pasquier and Roche as the quantum double D(G) associated to a finite group G and group 3-cocycle φ. We also discuss D(Ug) as...
