We provide a formula for commputing the discriminant of skew Calabi-Yau algebra over a central Calabi-Yau algebra. This method is applied to study the Jacobian and discriminant for reflection Hopf algebras.
We investigate a method of construction of central deformations of associative algebras, which we call centrification. We prove some general results in the case of Hopf algebras and provide several examples.
We study actions of semisimple Hopf algebras H on Weyl algebras A over a field of characteristic zero. We show that the action of H on A must factor through a group algebra; in other words, if H acts inner faithfully on A, then H is cocommutative. The techniques used include reduction modulo a prime number and the study of semisimple cosemisimple Hopf actions on division algebras.
We show that the invariants of a free associative algebra of finite rank under a linear action of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra generated by group-like and skew-primitive elements form a finitely generated algebra exactly when the action is scalar. This generalizes an analogous result for group actions by automorphisms obtained by Dicks and Formanek, and Kharchenko.
We investigate the structures of Hopf $ast$-algebra on the Radford algebras over $mathbb {C}$. All the $*$-structures on $H$ are explicitly given. Moreover, these Hopf $*$-algebra structures are classified up to equivalence.
It will be seen that if $H$ is a weak Hopf algebra in the definition of coaction of weak bialgebras on coalgebras cite{Wang}, then a definition property is suppressed giving rise to the (global) coactions of weak Hopf algebras on coalgebras. The next step will be introduce the more general notion of partial coactions of weak Hopf algebras on coalgebras as well as a family of examples via a fixed element on the weak Hopf algebra, illustrating both definitions: global and partial. Moreover, it will also be presented how to obtain a partial comodule coalgebra from a global one via projections, giving another way to find examples of partial coactions of weak Hopf algebras on coalgebras. In addition, the weak smash coproduct cite{Wang} will be studied and it will be seen under what conditions it is possible to generate a weak Hopf algebra structure from the coproduct and the counit defined on it. Finally, a dual relationship between the structures of partial action and partial coaction of a weak Hopf algebra on a coalgebra will be established.
