The Beginnings of the Theory of Hopf Algebras

چکیده
We consider issues related to the origins, sources and initial motivations of the theory of Hopf algebras. We consider the two main sources of primeval development: algebraic topology and algebraic group theory. Hopf algebras are named from the work of Heinz Hopf in the 1940’s. In this note we trace the infancy of the subject back to papers from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s in the two areas mentioned above. Many times we just describe – and/or transcribe parts of – some of the relevant original papers on the subject.

On 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...
متن کاملAdjunctions between Hom and Tensor as endofunctors of (bi-) module category of comodule algebras over a quasi-Hopf algebra.
For a Hopf algebra H over a commutative ring k and a left H-module V, the tensor endofunctors V k - and - kV are left adjoint to some kinds of Hom-endofunctors of _HM. The units and counits of these adjunctions are formally trivial as in the classical case.The category of (bi-) modules over a quasi-Hopf algebra is monoidal and some generalized versions of Hom-tensor relations have been st...
متن کاملGorenstein global dimensions for Hopf algebra actions
Let $H$ be a Hopf algebra and $A$ an $H$-bimodule algebra. In this paper, we investigate Gorenstein global dimensions for Hopf algebras and twisted smash product algebras $Astar H$. Results from the literature are generalized.
