Twisting of affine algebraic groups, II


Abstract in English

We use cite{G} to study the algebra structure of twisted cotriangular Hopf algebras ${}_Jmathcal{O}(G)_{J}$, where $J$ is a Hopf $2$-cocycle for a connected nilpotent algebraic group $G$ over $mathbb{C}$. In particular, we show that ${}_Jmathcal{O}(G)_{J}$ is an affine Noetherian domain with Gelfand-Kirillov dimension $dim(G)$, and that if $G$ is unipotent and $J$ is supported on $G$, then ${}_Jmathcal{O}(G)_{J}cong U(g)$ as algebras, where $g={rm Lie}(G)$. We also determine the finite dimensional irreducible representations of ${}_Jmathcal{O}(G)_{J}$, by analyzing twisted function algebras on $(H,H)$-double cosets of the support $Hsubset G$ of $J$. Finally, we work out several examples to illustrate our results.
