6 Simple Hopf Algebras and Deformations of Finite Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that certain twisting deformations of a family of supersolvable groups are simple as Hopf algebras. These groups are direct products of two generalized dihedral groups. Examples of this construction arise in dimensions 60 and pq, for prime numbers p, q with q|p − 1. We also show that certain twisting deformation of the symmetric group is simple as a Hopf algebra. On the other hand, we prove that every twisting deformation of a nilpotent group is semisolvable. We conclude that the notions of simplicity and (semi)solvability of a semisimple Hopf algebra are not determined by its tensor category of representations.

متن کاملHopf Algebra Deformations of Binary Polyhedral Groups
We show that semisimple Hopf algebras having a self-dual faithful irreducible comodule of dimension 2 are always obtained as abelian extensions with quotient Z2. We prove that nontrivial Hopf algebras arising in this way can be regarded as deformations of binary polyhedral groups and describe its category of representations. We also prove a strengthening of a result of Nichols and Richmond on c...
متن کاملOn the Classification of Finite-dimensional Pointed Hopf Algebras
We classify finite-dimensional complex Hopf algebras A which are pointed, that is, all of whose irreducible comodules are one-dimensional, and whose group of group-like elements G(A) is abelian such that all prime divisors of the order of G(A) are > 7. Since these Hopf algebras turn out to be deformations of a natural class of generalized small quantum groups, our result can be read as an axiom...
متن کاملCurrent Research: Noncommutative Representation Theory
Group actions are ubiquitous in mathematics. To understand a mathematical object, it is often helpful to understand its symmetries as expressed by a group. For example, a group acts on a ring by automorphisms (preserving its structure). Analogously, a Lie algebra acts on a ring by derivations. Unifying these two types of actions are Hopf algebras acting on rings. A Hopf algebra is not only an a...
متن کاملThe Hidden Group Structure of Quantum Groups: Strong Duality, Rigidity and Preferred Deformations
STRONG DUALITY, RIGIDITY AND PREFERRED DEFORMATIONS. P. BONNEAU 1 M. FLATO1, M. GERSTENHABER 2 and G. PINCZON 1 Abstract: A notion of well-behaved Hopf algebra is introduced; re exivity (for strong duality) between Hopf algebras of Drinfeld-type and their duals, algebras of coe cients of compact semi-simple groups, is proved. A hidden classical group structure is clearly indicated for all gener...
