In an attempt to study the zero divisors in Hopf algebras, we study four non-trivial examples of nongroup ring infinite Hopf algebras and show that a variant of Kaplansky’s classical zero divisor conjecture holds for these four Hopf algebras. In particular we proof that the Hopf algebra CG has no non-trivial zero-divisors for any infinite finitely generated group G. We then consider the zero di...

We investigate a generalization of Hopf algebra slq (2) by weakening the invertibility of the generator K, i.e. exchanging its invertibility KK = 1 to the regularity KKK = K. This leads to a weak Hopf algebra wslq (2) and a J-weak Hopf algebra vslq (2) which are studied in detail. It is shown that the monoids of group-like elements of wslq (2) and vslq (2) are regular monoids, which supports th...

In this paper, we investigate the problem of bifurcation control for a delayed logistic growth model. By choosing the timedelay as the bifurcation parameter, we present a Proportional - Derivative (PD) Controller to control Hopf bifurcation. We show that the onset of Hopf bifurcation can be delayed or advanced via a PD Controller by setting proper controlling parameter. Under consideration mode...

We consider a reaction-diffusion equation with Neumann boundary conditions and show that solutions to this problem may be obtained from a problem with periodic boundary conditions and equivariant under O(2) symmetry. We describe the solutions for Hopf bifurcation and mode interactions involving Hopf bifurcation, namely, steadystate/Hopf and Hopf/Hopf. Neumann boundary conditions constrain the s...

The main goal is to study the Hopf algebra structure on quivers. The main result obtained by C. Cibils and M. Rosso is improved. That is, in the case of infinite dimensional isotypic components it is shown that the path coalgebra kQ admits a graded Hopf algebra structure if and only if Q is a Hopf quiver. All nonisomorphic point path Hopf algebras and point co-path Hopf algebras are found. The ...

Let L|K be a Galois extension of fields with finite Galois group G. Greither and Pareigis [GP87] showed that there is a bijection between Hopf Galois structures on L|K and regular subgroups of Perm(G) normalized by G, and Byott [By96] translated the problem into that of finding equivalence classes of embeddings of G in the holomorph of groups N of the same cardinality as G. In [CCo06] we showed...

Quantum groups, from a mathematical point of view, may be introduced by making emphasis on their q−deformed enveloping algebra aspects [1,2], which leads to the quantized enveloping algebras, or by making emphasis in the R−matrix formalism that describes the deformed group algebra. Also, they are mathematically well defined in the framework of Hopf algebra [3]. Quantum groups provide an interes...
