Factorizable Module Algebras

The aim of this paper is to introduce and study a large class of $\mathfrak{g}$-module algebras that we call factorizable by generalizing the Gauss factorization of square or rectangular matrices. This class includes coordinate algebras of corresponding reductive groups G, their parabolic subgroups, basic affine spaces, and many others. It turns out that products of factorizable algebras are also factorizable and it is easy to create a factorizable algebra out of virtually any $\mathfrak{g}$-module algebra. We also have quantum versions of all these constructions in the category of $U_{q}(\mathfrak{g})$-module algebras. Quite surprisingly, our quantum factorizable algebras are naturally acted on by the quantized enveloping algebra $U_{q}(\mathfrak{g}^{\ast })$ of the dual Lie bialgebra $\mathfrak{g}^{\ast }$ of $\mathfrak{g}$.

H-Simple module algebras for eight-dimensional non-semisimple Hopf algebras

Let [Formula: see text] be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. For all eight-dimensional non-semisimple Hopf algebras [Formula: see text] which are either pointed or unimodular, we characterrize all finite-dimensional [Formula: see text]-simple module algebras. As a bonus of our approach, it is shown that for any [Formula: see text]-simple algebra, the nilpotent index of the Jacobson radical is at most three.

ON GORENSTEINNESS OF HOPF MODULE ALGEBRAS

Let H be a Hopf algebra with a bijective antipode, A an H-simple H-module algebra finitely generated as an algebra over the ground field and module-finite over its centre. The main result states that A has finite injective dimension and is, moreover, Artin–Schelter Gorenstein under the additional assumption that each H-orbit in the space of maximal ideals of A is dense with respect to the Zariski topology. Further conclusions are derived in the cases when the maximal spectrum of A is a single H-orbit or contains an open dense H-orbit.
