$\text{Rep}(D_4)$ and its three fiber functors
It is well-known that the fusion category $\text{Rep}(D_4)$ of representations of the dihedral group $D_4$ of order 8 admits three distinct fiber functors. Therefore, there are three different Hopf ...

Is Malcev completion an embedding?
The Malcev completion of an abstract group $G$ over a field $k$ of characteristic zero is defined by
$$\hat G = \mathbb{G}(\widehat{k[G]}) ,$$
the group-like part of the completed (by the augmentation ...

Easy example of a non-symmetric braiding of $\operatorname{Rep}(G)$?
What is the smallest group $G$ such that $\operatorname{Rep}(G)$ has a non-symmetric braiding (or just an easy example)?
I seem to remember a result classifying all universal $R$-matrices of $\mathbb ...

Hopf algebra of representative k-valued functions of an abstract group
Let $G$ be an abstract group. If we can embed $G$ into a group $H$, in a way that we had $G$ and $H$ of the same Hopf algebra of representative $k$-valued functions ($R(G)\sim R(H)$ as Hopf algebras). ...

Cosemisimple pointed Hopf algebras
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. Every cosemisimple pointed Hopf $\mathbb{K}$-algebra $A$ is easily seen to be cocommutative. Does this imply that $A$ is the ...

Is a Hopf algebra a group object of some category?
The page of ncatlab on group object states that:
A group object in $\mathrm{CRing}^{\mathrm{op}}$ is a commutative Hopf
algebra.

Are the symmetric groups integrable as Hopf algebras?
Let $G$ be a group. For $g,h \in G$, let $[g,h]=g^{-1}h^{-1}gh$ be a commutator. The normal subgroup $G' = \langle [g,h] \ | \ g,h \in G \rangle$ is called the commutator subgroup or derived subgroup. ...

Intuitive, elementary intros to Hopf algebras/monoids
Motivation:
I'm interested in understanding the role that noncrossing partitions play in Hopf algebras/monoids (HAs) as the components of the power series of the compositional inverse of formal ...

Some quantities associated to finite dimensional Hopf algebras
let $(H,\Delta,m,s)$ be a Hopf algebra. To this Hopf algebra one can associate two obvious linear maps $T_H, S_H: H \to H $ with $T_H=m\circ \Delta,\quad S_H=s$.
Are there two finite dimensional ...

Subalgebra of a group algebra
Let $k$ be a field, $G$ a finite group, and $k[G]$ the group algebra.
Let $A$ be a subalgebra of $k[G]$. In general, $A$ is not the group algebra of some subgroup $H$ of $G$.
Question: Is there any ...

Have the Quantum Group Theorists taught the Group Theorists Anything?
I will start with the general before moving to the specific.
Consider for a moment the two (very) soft definitions.
An abstraction of an object $X$ is a category $\mathcal{C}_0$ such that $X$ ...

It there a nice way to describe the structure of Malcev-complete groups?
Let $\mathbb k$ be a field of characteristic zero. The grouplike functor $\mathbb G$ from complete Hopf algebras to groups is a faithful functor. Its image is the category of Malcev-complete groups ...

Is the associated grouplike $\gamma=uS(u)^{-1}$ of a quasi-triangular Hopf algebra always the square of another grouplike?
Let $(H,R)$ be a finite-dimensional quasi-triangular Hopf algebra, lets say generated by group-like and skew-primitive elements (I actually need it for $H$ fin. dim. pointed with $G(H)$ abelian). Let $...

Orthogonal idempotents with sum equal to 1 in $k[G]$ span sub-Hopf algebra
Let $G$ be a finite group. Let $B$ be a set of orthogonal non-zero idempotents with $|B| \leq |G|$, s.t. $\sum_{b \in B}b =1_{kG}$. Is it known if $B$ spans a sub-Hopf algebra $kH \subseteq kG$?

Coaction of a group
Suppose $G$ is a finite group which acts on a $C^*-$algebra which we denote by $A$. I was wondering if there is a naturally induced coaction on $A\otimes C(G)$, here $C(G)$ denotes functions on $G$.
I ...

Structure of the adjoint representation of a (finite) group (Hopf algebra) ?
Every group acts on itself by conjugation $h \mapsto g h g^{-1}$. Respectively considering functions on a group we obtain a linear representation.
Question 1: what is known about this representation ...
