Abstract

The Structure Theorem for Hopf modules states that if a bialgebra $H$ is a Hopf algebra (i.e. it is endowed with a so-called antipode) then every Hopf module $M$ is of the form ${M}^{\mathrm{co}{H}}\otimes H$, where ${M}^{\mathrm{co}{H}}$ denotes the space of coinvariant elements in $M$. Actually, it has been shown that this result characterizes Hopf algebras: $H$ is a Hopf algebra if and only if every Hopf module $M$ can be decomposed in such a way. The main aim of this paper is to extend this characterization to the framework of quasi-bialgebras by introducing the notion of preantipode and by proving a Structure Theorem for quasi-Hopf bimodules. We will also establish the uniqueness of the preantipode and the closure of the family of quasi-bialgebras with preantipode under gauge transformation. Then, we will prove that every Hopf and quasi-Hopf algebra (i.e. a quasi-bialgebra with quasi-antipode) admits a preantipode and we will show how some previous results, as the Structure Theorem for Hopf modules, the Hausser-Nill theorem and the Bulacu-Caenepeel theorem for quasi-Hopf algebras, can be deduced from our Structure Theorem. Furthermore, we will investigate the relationship between the preantipode and the quasi-antipode and we will study a number of cases in which the two notions are equivalent: ordinary bialgebras endowed with trivial reassociator, commutative quasi-bialgebras, finite-dimensional quasi-bialgebras.

Birational Equivalences for Kac--Moody Borel Enveloping Algebras

A Coxeter ordering of the simple roots of a finite-rank Kac--Moody algebra determines a finite family of commuting real-root vectors. We prove that $U^{\geq0}(\mathfrak g)$ is birationally equivalent to $Z\otimes\mathbb A_n$, where $Z$ is the residual Coxeter centralizer, by identifying the Coxeter localization $U^{\geq0}(\mathfrak g)[\mathbf X^{-1}]$ with $Z\otimes\mathbb A_n[\mathbf x^{-1}]$. For symmetrizable Cartan matrices the residual algebra is generated by finite Coxeter windows and is finitely presented. For the generic quantum Borel with torus dual to the root lattice, we prove the analogous birational equivalence.

A diagrammatic presentation for every pivotal pointed fusion category

We provide a generators and relations presentation of pivotal pointed fusion categories, $Vec(G,ω,π)$. Unlike the well-known skeletal model, our presentation is strict and allows multiple isomorphic objects. Our main tool is skein theory, which allows us to apply topological tools to understand the relations of morphisms in the category.

The Kazhdan-Lusztig category of $\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n}$ at irrational levels

We prove the Kazhdan-Lusztig correspondence for the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n}$ at irrational levels, that is, we show the category $\mathrm{KL}_k^{\rm ev}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n})$ of finite-length even ordinary modules for the affine vertex operator superalgebra of $\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n}$ at level $k \in \mathbb{C} \setminus \mathbb{Q}$ is braided tensor equivalent to the category of finite-dimensional even weight modules for the quantum group of $\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n}$ at parameter $q = e^{πi/(2k+2n+1)}$. We also prove that ${\rm KL}_k^{\rm ev}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n})$ is braided tensor equivalent to the category ${\rm KL}_\ell^{\rm ns}(\mathfrak{so}_{2n+1})$ of finite-length ordinary modules with non-spinorial top level for the affine vertex operator algebra of $\mathfrak{so}_{2n+1}$ at level $\ell$ such that $ \frac{1}{\ell+ 2n-1} = \frac{1}{2k+2n+1} + 1 \ \ ({\rm mod}\ 2\mathbb Z).$ Consequently, by gluing vertex operator (super)algebras via tensor categories, we construct a few new families of simple conformal vertex (super)algebras, including the mixed kernel VOAs that were the missing ingredient for proving certain Feigin-Frenkel type dualities in previous work of the first-named author with Linshaw, Nakatsuka, and Sato.
