Cyclic cohomology of Hopf algebras, and a non-commutative Chern-Weil theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a construction of Connes-Moscovici’s cyclic cohomology for any Hopf algebra equipped with a character. Furthermore, we introduce a non-commutative Weil complex, which connects the work of Gelfand and Smirnov with cyclic cohomology. We show how the Weil complex arises naturally when looking at Hopf algebra actions and invariant higher traces, to give a non-commutative version of the usual Chern-Weil theory.

Towards the Chern-weil Homomorphism in Non Commutative Differential Geometry
In this short review article we sketch some developments which should ultimately lead to the analogy of the Chern-Weil homomorphism for principle bundles in the realm of non commutative differential geometry. Principal bundles there should have Hopf algebras as structure ‘cogroups’. Since the usual machinery of Lie algebras, connection forms, etc., just is not available in this setting, we base...
متن کاملChern Character, Hopf Algebras, and Brs Cohomology
We present the construction of a Chern character in cyclic cohomology, involving an arbitrary number of associative algebras in contravariant or covariant position. This is a generalization of the bivariant Chern character for bornological algebras introduced in a previous paper [35], based on Quillen superconnections and heat-kernel regularization. Then we adapt the formalism to the cyclic coh...
متن کاملPairings in Hopf-cyclic cohomology of algebras and coalgebras with coefficients
This paper is concerned with the theory of cup-products in Hopf-type cyclic cohomology of algebras and coalgebras. Here we give detailed proofs of the statements, announced in our previous paper [21]. We show that the cyclic cohomology of a coalgebra can be obtained from a construction involving noncommutative Weil algebra. Then we use a generalization of Quillen and Crainic’s construction (see...
متن کاملOn the Cyclic Cohomology of Extended Hopf Algebras
We introduce the concept of extended Hopf algebras and define their cyclic cohomology in the spirit of Connes-Moscovici cyclic cohomology for Hopf algebras. Extended Hopf algebras are closely related to, but different from, Hopf algebroids. Their definition is motivated by attempting to define a cyclic cohomology theory for Hopf algebroids in general. We show that many of Hopf algebraic structu...
متن کاملOn the cyclic Homology of multiplier Hopf algebras
In this paper, we will study the theory of cyclic homology for regular multiplier Hopf algebras. We associate a cyclic module to a triple $(mathcal{R},mathcal{H},mathcal{X})$ consisting of a regular multiplier Hopf algebra $mathcal{H}$, a left $mathcal{H}$-comodule algebra $mathcal{R}$, and a unital left $mathcal{H}$-module $mathcal{X}$ which is also a unital algebra. First, we construct a para...
