On the dimension of the space of integrals on coalgebras

We study the injective envelopes of the simple right $C$-comodules, and their duals, where $C$ is a coalgebra. This is used to give a short proof and to extend a result of Iovanov on the dimension of the space of integrals on coalgebras. We show that if $C$ is right co-Frobenius, then the dimension of the space of left $M$-integrals on $C$ is $\leq {\rm dim}M$ for any left $C$-comodule $M$ of finite support, and the dimension of the space of right $N$-integrals on $C$ is $\geq {\rm dim}N$ for any right $C$-comodule $N$ of finite support. If $C$ is a coalgebra, it is discussed how far is the dual algebra $C^*$ from being semiperfect. Some examples of integrals are computed for incidence coalgebras

Constructing Pointed Hopf Algebras by Ore Extensions

AbstractWe present a general construction producing pointed co-Frobenius Hopf algebras and give some classification results for the examples obtained

Twisted Frobenius-Schur indicators for Hopf algebras

The classical Frobenius-Schur indicators for finite groups are character sums defined for any representation and any integer m greater or equal to 2. In the familiar case m=2, the Frobenius-Schur indicator partitions the irreducible representations over the complex numbers into real, complex, and quaternionic representations. In recent years, several generalizations of these invariants have been introduced. Bump and Ginzburg, building on earlier work of Mackey, have defined versions of these indicators which are twisted by an automorphism of the group. In another direction, Linchenko and Montgomery have defined Frobenius-Schur indicators for semisimple Hopf algebras. In this paper, the authors construct twisted Frobenius-Schur indicators for semisimple Hopf algebras; these include all of the above indicators as special cases and have similar properties.Comment: 12 pages.

Pointed Hopf Algebras of Dimensionp3

AbstractWe give a structure theorem for pointed Hopf algebras of dimensionp3, having coradicalkCp, wherekis an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Combining this with previous results, we obtain the complete classification of all pointed Hopf algebras of dimensionp3

Hopf algebra actions and transfer of Frobenius and symmetric properties

If $H$ is a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra acting on a finite-dimensional algebra $A$, we investigate the transfer of the Frobenius and symmetric properties through the algebra extensions $A^H\subset A\subset A\mathbin{\#} H$
