Categorical duals for Yetter-Drinfeld modules [duplicate]
Yetter-Drinfeld (YD) modules appear naturally in the theory of Hopf algebras. They are both modules and comodules at the same time, satisfying a certain compatibility condition, as presented here. The ...

$G$-crossed (braided) fusion categories and Tannaka duality
Many important concepts in tensor category theory have their counterpart in Hopf algebra theory under Tannaka duality. They have the general form: let $A$ be an XX-algebra, and let Rep$(A)$ denote the ...

Tannaka-Krein duality in Chari-Pressley's book
I am not sure that this was not discussed before, so excuse me in this case. This can be considered as a special case of my previous question here.
V.Chari and A.N.Pressley in their "Guide to Quantum ...

How does the Tannaka duality work for weak Hopf algebras and fusion categories?
I'm a physicist and not yet an expert in fusion category. I've heard that it's possible to reconstruct a weak Hopf algebra from its category of representations, and would like to know how this works ...

Why does Drinfeld Unitarization work?
In Drinfeld's paper "Quasi-Hopf Algebras" he illuminates a process by which you can replace the $R \in A \otimes A$ associated to a quasi-Hopf QUE-algebra $(A, \Delta, \varepsilon, \Phi)$ ...

Non-counital coalgebras
For any unital algebra $A$, we have an associated dual coalgebra $A^{\circ}$. (Recall that it is defined to be the largest subalgebra of the $\mathbf{C}$-linear dual of $A$ such that the coproduct $\...

Scaling Yetter--Drinfeld Modules
A braided vector space is a pair $(V,\sigma)$ consisting of a vector space $V$, and a linear map $\sigma:V \otimes V \to V \otimes V$, satisfying the Yang--Baxter equation. Ee can scale the braiding ...

Quantum invariant: The canonical $2$-tensor
In Chapter XVI Kassel introduces a proper definition of a quantum universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. (See definition XVI.5.1). Notice that a quantum enveloping algebra has a ...

Nichols Algebras as Braided Hopf Algebras
Given a Hopf algebra $H$ and a Yetter--Drinfeld module $V$ over $H$, it is well-known that $V$ has an induced braided vector space structure, and so, one can consider it's Nichols algebra which is a ...

What is a formula for the "group-like Drinfeld element"?
Any quantized universal enveloping algebra (in fact, any toplogically quasi-triangular Hopf algebra) has an (in its completion) an element u called the Drinfeld element which gives an isomorphism from ...
