A five-term exact sequence for Kac cohomology

We use relative group cohomologies to compute the Kac cohomology of matched pairs of finite groups. This cohomology naturally appears in the theory of abelian extensions of finite dimensional Hopf algebras. We prove that Kac cohomology can be …

Examples of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras with the dual Chevalley property

We present new Hopf algebras with the dual Chevalley property by determining all semisimple Hopf algebras Morita-equivalent to a group algebra over a finite group, for a list of groups supporting a non-trivial finite-dimensional Nichols algebra.

Hopf braces and Yang-Baxter operators

This paper introduces Hopf braces, a new algebraic structure related to the Yang-Baxter equation, which include Rump's braces and their non-commutative generalizations as particular cases. Several results of classical braces are still valid in our …

De-equivariantization of Hopf algebras.

We study the de-equivariantization of a Hopf algebra by an affine group scheme and we apply Tannakian techniques in order to realize it as the tensor category of comodules over a coquasi-bialgebra. As an application we construct a family of …

Normal Hopf subalgebras in cocycle deformations of finite groups

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 …

Simple Hopf algebras and deformations of finite groups

We show that certain twisting deformations of a family of supersolvable groups are simple as Hopf algebras. These groups are direct products of two generalized dihedral groups. Examples of this construction arise in dimensions 60 and $p^2q^2$, for …
