On modules over a Hopf brace

Abstract

Let $\mathbb{H}=(H_{1},H_{2})$ be a Hopf brace in a symmetric monoidal category ${\sf C}$. In this article it is proved that the category of modules over $\mathbb{H}$ is isomorphic to the category of modules over the smash product algebra $H_{1}\sharp H_{2}$. Furthermore, the category of modules over $\mathbb{H}$ in the sense of Zhu is characterized by the condition that a certain action lies in the cocommutativity class of $H_{2}$.
