Let H be a finite dimensional weak Hopf algebra and A/B be a right faithfully
flat weak H-Galois extension. Then in this note, we first show that if H is
semisimple, then the finitistic dimension of A is less than or equal to that
of B. Furthermore, using duality theorem, we obtain that if H and its dual
H* are both semisimple, then the finitistic dimension of A is equal to that
of B, which means the finitistic dimension conjecture holds for A if and
only if it holds for B. Finally, as applications, we obtain these relations
for the weak crossed products and weak smash products.
In this paper, we introduce the concept of Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebras and explore two characterizations of Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebras. And we construct a number of Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebras from Leibniz algebras and associative algebras and discover some Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebras from augmented algebra, bialgebra, and weak Hopf algebra. In the end, we give all Rota-Baxter operators of weight 0 and -1 on solvable and nilpotent Leibniz algebras of dimension ≤3, respectively.
Let H be a weak Hopf algebra. In this paper, it is proved that the monoidal category [Formula: see text] of weak Hopf bimodules studied in Wang [19] is equivalent to the monoidal category [Formula: see text] of weak Yetter–Drinfel'd modules introduced in Böhm [2]. When H has a bijective antipode, a braiding in the category [Formula: see text] is constructed by the braiding on [Formula: see text], generalizing the main result in Schauenburg [14]. Finally, the braided Lie structures of an algebra A in the category [Formula: see text] are investigated, by showing that if A is a sum of two braided commutative subalgebras, then the braided commutator ideal of A is nilpotent.
We compare the restriction to the context of weak Hopf algebras of the notion of crossed product with a Hopf algebroid introduced in [Cleft extensions of Hopf algebroids, Appl. Categor. Struct. 14(5–6) (2006) 431–469] with the notion of crossed product with a weak Hopf algebra introduced in [Crossed products for weak Hopf algebras with coalgebra splitting, J. Algebra 281(2) (2004) 731–752].
The main purpose of this paper is to unify the theory of actions of Hopf algebras, weak Hopf algebras and multiplier Hopf algebras to one of actions of weak multiplier Hopf algebras introduced by Van Daele and Wang. Using such developed actions, we will define the notion of a module algebra over weak multiplier Hopf algebras and construct their smash products. The main result is the duality theorem for actions and their dual actions on the smash product of weak multiplier Hopf algebras. As an application, we recover the main results found in the literature for weak Hopf algebras, multiplier Hopf algebras and groupoids.
Following Linchenko and Montgomery's arguments we show that the smash product of an involutive weak Hopf algebra and a semiprime module algebra, satisfying a polynomial identity, is semiprime.
