Bicrossed product of Hopf algebra
Concept in Hopf algebra From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In quantum group and Hopf algebra, the bicrossed product is a process to create new Hopf algebras from the given ones. It's motivated by the Zappa–Szép product of groups. It was first discussed by M. Takeuchi in 1981,[1] and now a general tool for construction of Drinfeld quantum double.[2][3]

Bicrossed product
Consider two bialgebras and , if there exist linear maps turning a module coalgebra over , and turning into a right module coalgebra over . We call them a pair of matched bialgebras, if we set and , the following conditions are satisfied
for all and . Here the Sweedler's notation of coproduct of Hopf algebra is used.
For matched pair of Hopf algebras and , there exists a unique Hopf algebra over , the resulting Hopf algebra is called bicrossed product of and and denoted by ,
- The unit is given by ;
- The multiplication is given by ;
- The counit is ;
- The coproduct is ;
- The antipode is .

Drinfeld quantum double
For a given Hopf algebra , its dual space has a canonical Hopf algebra structure and and are matched pairs. In this case, the bicrossed product of them is called Drinfeld quantum double .
