Normal Hopf subalgebras in cocycle deformations of finite groups

Abstract

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\pi\colon G \to G’$ be a surjective group homomorphism. Consider the cocycle deformation $L = H^{\sigma}$ of the Hopf algebra $H = k^G$ of $k$-valued linear functions on $G$, with respect to some convolution invertible 2-cocycle $\sigma$. The (normal) Hopf subalgebra $k^{G’} \subseteq k^G$ corresponds to a Hopf subalgebra $L’ \subseteq L$. Our main result is an explicit necessary and sufficient condition for the normality of $L’$ in $L$.
