Finiteness of the number of Hopf subalgebras

Let $H$ be a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra over the complex field. Question: Does $ H $ have a finite number of Hopf subalgebras? In the case where $ H $ is semisimple, the answer is yes. According ...

Does there exist a nontrivial triangular weak Hopf algebra?

Quasitriangular weak Hopf algebras (QWHAs) are defined in Nikshych-Turaev-Vainerman (2000): A QWHA is a pair ($H,\mathcal{R}$) where $H$ is a WHA and $\mathcal{R} \in \Delta^{op}(1)(H\otimes H)\Delta(...

Smallest finite dimensional $\mathbb{C}^*$-Hopf algebra that is not "strongly group theoretical"

In this question, let us call a finite dimensional $\mathbb{C}^*$ Hopf algebra $H$ strongly group theoretical if there exists a finite group $G$ such that one of the following three equivalent ...

Some fusion rings/categories I don't recognize

Recently (what I believe are) all multiplicity-free fusion categories up to rank 7 have been posted on the AnyonWiki. Most of the fusion rings belonging to these categories belong to one of the ...

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 ...

Relation between the modular categories SU(2)_n and Sp(n)_1

The online database [1] provides a list of some modular tensor categories classified by rank. Let us consider the two modular categories denoted kmA1_$\ell$ and kmC$\ell$_1 (i.e. Kac Moody $A_1$ level ...

Calculating fusion rules for $\operatorname{Rep}(G)$ and $G_{k}$ [reference request]

Could somebody please direct me to textbooks / literature that (perhaps lay the foundations for and) detail the method for determining the fusion rules for categories such as $\operatorname{Rep}(G)$ ...

Are the finite quantum permutation groups, weakly group-theoretical?

Wang defined in Quantum symmetry groups of finite spaces a notion of quantum automorphism group. The application to a finite space of $n$ elements is called the quantum permutation group of $n$ ...

Triviality of Semisimple Hopf Algebras of Cyclic Dimension

A cyclic number is a natural number $n$ such that any group of order $n$ is cyclic. A003277 Theorem (T. Szele, 1947): A number $n$ is cyclic if and only if it is coprime to its Euler totient $\varphi(...

Symmetries of modular categories coming from quantum groups

This is a request for references about the computation of the braided autoequivalences of fusion categories coming from a quantum group. I could not find even the description of braided ...

Fusion Classification of $U_q(sl_N)$ Categories

Frohlich and Kerler classify categories with $SU(2)_k$ fusion rules and Kazdhan-Wenzl expand this to $SU(N)_k$ categories. In both cases, unless I am missing something, the classification are ...

Brauer-Picard for a fusion category coming from a quantum group

In Fusion Categories and Homotopy Theory, ENO attatch a 3-groupoid to a fusion category. In the case of A graded vector spaces they further compute it's truncation as an orthogonal group $O(A \...

An alternative Cauchy theorem on Hopf algebras

Let $\mathbb{A}$ be a finite dimensional Hopf ${\rm C}^{\star}$-algebra. There already exists a generalization of Cauchy theorem using exponent, see [KSZ06]. We are interesting in an alternative ...

Symmetries of module categories over the category of representations of quantum $sl(2)$

The category $\mathcal{C}_l$ of tilting modules of the quantum group $U_q(sl_2)$ quotiented out by the modules of zero quantum dimension has a natural structure as a semisimple monoidal category when ...

The convolution on a semisimple finite quantum groupoid

Let $\mathbb{A}$ be a finite dim. weak Hopf $C^*$-algebra (or semisimple finite quantum groupoid) and $\hat{\mathbb{A}}$ its dual. Let the Fourier transform $\mathcal{F}: \mathbb{A} \to \hat{\mathbb{...

Does the quantum subgroup of quantum su_2 called E_8 have anything at all to do with the Lie algebra E_8?

The ordinary McKay correspondence relates the subgroups of SU(2) to the affine ADE Dynkin diagrams. The correspondence is that the vertices correspond to irreducible representations of the subgroup, ...
