Particular Lie bialgebra structure
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a real finite-dimensional Lie algebra, and let $r\in\bigwedge^2\mathfrak{g}$ be a solution of the Yang-Baxter equation. The Yang–Baxter equation states that for all $x\in\...

Is there a classical version of Yetter-Drinfeld modules?
One motivation for the notion of the Drinfeld double $D(H)$ of an Hopf algebra $H$ is that it is defined exactly so that modules over $D(H)$ correspond to Yetter-Drinfeld modules over $H$.
If we think ...

Why is $\Pi_r^L$ a non-degenerate Poisson structure on $G\ $?
Let $r \in \bigwedge^2 \mathfrak {g}$ be a skew-symmetric solution of the CYBE (classical Yang-Baxter equation) so that it gives rise to a non-degenrate triangular structure on $\mathfrak {g}$ i.e. $r$...

A certain Lie algebra associated to a bialgebra
Let $A$ be a bialgebra over a field $k$. The space $A^* = \operatorname{Hom}(A, k)$ possesses an algebra structure, given by the convolution product $f*g = f \otimes g \circ \Delta$.
Let $\gamma \in A^...

Different Bialgebra/Hopf algebra structures on coalgebras
Given a coalgebra $C$, can there exist more than one algebra structure on $C$ giving it the structure of a bialgebra? I will also ask the same question for Hopf algebras.

What is a coalgebra?
A coalgebra is a triple $(A,\Delta,\epsilon)$ consisting of a vector space, a coproduct, and a counit. Now as we all know, just like the unit in an algebra, the counit of a coalgebra is unique, i.e. ...

Extending elements of the dual of a Hopf subalgebra to the Hopf dual of the whole algebra
I have a question about Hopf duals. To begin we can remind the definition: For an Hopf algebra $A$ over a field $k$, the Hopf dual $A^{\circ}$ is the subspace of the linear dual $\mathrm{Lin}_k(A,k)$ ...

Name for a Hopf algebra whose only grouplike element is the identity?
For a $k$-Hopf algebra $H$ and element $h \in H$ is called grouplike is $\Delta(h) = h \otimes h$ and $\epsilon(h)=1_k$ ($\epsilon$ is the counit). The identity $1_H$ is clearly grouplike, but in ...
