Questions about algebraic structures known as quantum groups, and their categories of representations. Quasitriangular Hopf algebras and their Drinfel'd twists, triangular Hopf algebras, $C^\star$ quantum groups, h-adic quantum groups, various semisimplified categories at roots of unity which are called "quantum groups", bicrossproduct quantum groups, and quantum groups coming from braided tensor categories.

Examples of (weak-)bialgebras/Hopf algebras with a finite dimensional unitary representation...

I need examples (the more the better, even better if there is a systematic way of construction) of (weak-)bialgebras or (weak-)Hopf algebras $H$ with a finite dimensional representation $\rho$ and a f …

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a finite dimensional $\mathbb{C}^* $-Hopf algebra. Let $B(\mathcal{A})$ be a basis of $\mathcal{A}$ and let $B(\mathcal{A}^* )=\{ \delta_x\in\mathcal{A}^* | x\in B(\mathcal{A}) \} …

As mentioned in David's answer, the smallest such $n$ is called the exponent of the Hopf algebra $H$. It was first conjectured by Kashina that that the exponent of a finite dimensional semisimple Hop …

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 i …

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 stateme …

Involutive solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation (and triangular Hopf algebras)

I'm interested in solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation $$R_{12}R_{23}R_{12}=R_{23}R_{12}R_{23},$$ that are involutive $R^2_{12}=1$. Or put it another way, I'm interested in representations of the sym …

Involutive solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation (and triangular Hopf algebras)

Here is a family of examples indexed by an integer $m\geq 3$. Let \begin{eqnarray} R^{ij}_{kl}=\lambda_{ij}c_{kl}-\delta_{ik}\delta_{jl},\tag{1} \end{eqnarray} where $\lambda, c$ are $m\times m$ m …

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( …

$G$-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 …
