Let $(H, R)$ be a finite dimensional quasitriangular Hopf algebra over a field $k$, and $_Hmathcal{M}$ the representation category of $H$. In this paper, we study the braided autoequivalences of the Drinfeld center $^H_Hmathcal{YD}$ trivializable on $_Hmathcal{M}$. We establish a group isomorphism between the group of those autoequivalences and the group of quantum commutative bi-Galois objects of the transmutation braided Hopf algebra $_RH$. We then apply this isomorphism to obtain a categorical interpretation of the exact sequence of the equivariant Brauer group $mathrm{BM}(k, H,R)$ in [18]. To this aim, we have to develop the braided bi-Galois theory initiated by Schauenburg in [14,15], which generalizes the Hopf bi-Galois theory over usual Hopf algebras to the one over braided Hopf algebras in a braided monoidal category.
A deeper understanding of recent computations of the Brauer group of Hopf algebras is attained by explaining why a direct product decomposition for this group holds and describing the non-interpreted factor occurring in it. For a Hopf algebra $B$ in a braided monoidal category $C$, and under certain assumptions on the braiding (fulfilled if $C$ is symmetric), we construct a sequence for the Brauer group $BM(C;B)$ of $B$-module algebras, generalizing Beatties one. It allows one to prove that $BM(C;B) cong Br(C) times Gal(C;B),$ where $Br(C)$ is the Brauer group of $C$ and $Gal(C;B)$ the group of $B$-Galois objects. We also show that $BM(C;B)$ contains a subgroup isomorphic to $Br(C) times Hc(C;B,I),$ where $Hc(C;B,I)$ is the second Sweedler cohomology group of $B$ with values in the unit object $I$ of $C$. These results are applied to the Brauer group of a quasi-triangular Hopf algebra that is a Radford biproduct $B times H$, where $H$ is a usual Hopf algebra over a field $K$, the Hopf subalgebra generated by the quasi-triangular structure $R$ is contained in $H$ and $B$ is a Hopf algebra in the category ${}_HM$ of left $H$-modules. The Hopf algebras whose Brauer group was recently computed fit this framework. We finally show that $BM(K,H,R) times Hc({}_HM;B,K)$ is a subgroup of the Brauer group $BM(K,B times H,R),$ confirming the suspicion that a certain cohomology group of $B times H$ (second lazy cohomology group was conjectured) embeds into $BM(K,B times H,R).$ New examples of Brauer groups of quasi-triangular Hopf algebras are computed using this sequence.
We define a new $q$-deformation of Brauers centralizer algebra which contains Hecke algebras of type $A$ as unital subalgebras. We determine its generic structure as well as the structure of certain semisimple quotients. This is expected to have applications for constructions of subfactors of type II$_1$ factors and for module categories of fusion categories of type $A$ corresponding to certain symmetric spaces.
Let $p$ be an odd prime number and $K$ a number field having a primitive $p$-th root of unity $zeta.$ We prove that Nikshychs non-group theoretical Hopf algebra $H_p$, which is defined over $mathbb{Q}(zeta)$, admits a Hopf order over the ring of integers $mathcal{O}_K$ if and only if there is an ideal $I$ of $mathcal{O}_K$ such that $I^{2(p-1)} = (p)$. This condition does not hold in a cyclotomic field. Hence this gives an example of a semisimple Hopf algebra over a number field not admitting a Hopf order over any cyclotomic ring of integers. Moreover, we show that, when a Hopf order over $mathcal{O}_K$ exists, it is unique and we describe it explicitly.
The operator valued distributions which arise in quantum field theory on the noncommutative Minkowski space can be symbolized by a generalization of chord diagrams, the dotted chord diagrams. In this framework, the combinatorial aspects of quasiplanar Wick products are understood in terms of the shuffle Hopf algebra of dotted chord diagrams, leading to an algebraic characterization of quasiplanar Wick products as a convolution. Moreover, it is shown that the distributions do not provide a weight system for universal knot invariants.
In this paper we construct a Chern-Weil isomorphism for the equivariant Brauer group of R^n-actions on a principal torus bundle, where the target for this isomorphism is a dimensionally reduced Cech cohomology group. From this point of view, the usual forgetful functor takes the form of a connecting homomorphism in a long exact sequence in dimensionally reduced cohomology.
