Classifying Hopf algebras of a given dimension

Abstract

Classifying all Hopf algebras of a given finite dimension over the complex numbers is a challenging problem which remains open even for many small dimensions, not least because few general approaches to the problem are known. Some useful techniques include counting the dimensions of spaces related to the coradical filtration, studying sub- and quotient Hopf algebras, especially those sub-Hopf algebras generated by a simple subcoalgebra, working with the antipode, and studying Hopf algebras in Yetter-Drinfeld categories to help to classify Radford biproducts. In this paper, we add to the classification tools in our previous work [arXiv:1108.6037v1] and apply our results to Hopf algebras of dimension rpq and 8p where p,q,r are distinct primes. At the end of this paper we summarize in a table the status of the classification for dimensions up to 100 to date.Comment: This version of the paper contains a correction on the published version. The statement and proof of Proposition 2.17 are changed and the proof of the results that follow from it are corrected accordingly. We thank H.-S. Ng for kindly communicating the gap to us and for the careful reading of our pape
