Quasitriangular Hopf algebra
In mathematics, a Hopf algebra, H, is quasitriangular[1] if there exists an invertible element, R, of H⊗H{displaystyle Hotimes H} such that
R Δ(x)R−1=(T∘Δ)(x){displaystyle R Delta (x)R^{-1}=(Tcirc Delta )(x)}for all x∈H{displaystyle xin H}
, where Δ{displaystyle Delta }
is the coproduct on H, and the linear map T:H⊗H→H⊗H{displaystyle T:Hotimes Hto Hotimes H}
is given by T(x⊗y)=y⊗x{displaystyle T(xotimes y)=yotimes x}
,
(Δ⊗1)(R)=R13 R23{displaystyle (Delta otimes 1)(R)=R_{13} R_{23}},
(1⊗Δ)(R)=R13 R12{displaystyle (1otimes Delta )(R)=R_{13} R_{12}},
where R12=ϕ12(R){displaystyle R_{12}=phi _{12}(R)}, R13=ϕ13(R){displaystyle R_{13}=phi _{13}(R)}
, and R23=ϕ23(R){displaystyle R_{23}=phi _{23}(R)}
, where ϕ12:H⊗H→H⊗H⊗H{displaystyle phi _{12}:Hotimes Hto Hotimes Hotimes H}
, ϕ13:H⊗H→H⊗H⊗H{displaystyle phi _{13}:Hotimes Hto Hotimes Hotimes H}
, and ϕ23:H⊗H→H⊗H⊗H{displaystyle phi _{23}:Hotimes Hto Hotimes Hotimes H}
, are algebra morphisms determined by
- ϕ12(a⊗b)=a⊗b⊗1,{displaystyle phi _{12}(aotimes b)=aotimes botimes 1,}
- ϕ13(a⊗b)=a⊗1⊗b,{displaystyle phi _{13}(aotimes b)=aotimes 1otimes b,}
- ϕ23(a⊗b)=1⊗a⊗b.{displaystyle phi _{23}(aotimes b)=1otimes aotimes b.}
R is called the R-matrix.
As a consequence of the properties of quasitriangularity, the R-matrix, R, is a solution of the Yang-Baxter equation (and so a module V of H can be used to determine quasi-invariants of braids, knots and links). Also as a consequence of the properties of quasitriangularity, (ϵ⊗1)R=(1⊗ϵ)R=1∈H{displaystyle (epsilon otimes 1)R=(1otimes epsilon )R=1in H}; moreover
R−1=(S⊗1)(R){displaystyle R^{-1}=(Sotimes 1)(R)}, R=(1⊗S)(R−1){displaystyle R=(1otimes S)(R^{-1})}
, and (S⊗S)(R)=R{displaystyle (Sotimes S)(R)=R}
. One may further show that the
antipode S must be a linear isomorphism, and thus S2 is an automorphism. In fact, S2 is given by conjugating by an invertible element: S2(x)=uxu−1{displaystyle S^{2}(x)=uxu^{-1}} where u:=m(S⊗1)R21{displaystyle u:=m(Sotimes 1)R^{21}}
(cf. Ribbon Hopf algebras).
It is possible to construct a quasitriangular Hopf algebra from a Hopf algebra and its dual, using the Drinfeld quantum double construction.
If the Hopf algebra H is quasitriangular, then the category of modules over H is braided with braiding
cU,V(u⊗v)=T(R⋅(u⊗v))=T(R1u⊗R2v){displaystyle c_{U,V}(uotimes v)=Tleft(Rcdot (uotimes v)right)=Tleft(R_{1}uotimes R_{2}vright)}.

Twisting
The property of being a quasi-triangular Hopf algebra is preserved by twisting via an invertible element F=∑ifi⊗fi∈A⊗A{displaystyle F=sum _{i}f^{i}otimes f_{i}in {mathcal {Aotimes A}}} such that (ε⊗id)F=(id⊗ε)F=1{displaystyle (varepsilon otimes id)F=(idotimes varepsilon )F=1}
and satisfying the cocycle condition
- (F⊗1)∘(Δ⊗id)F=(1⊗F)∘(id⊗Δ)F{displaystyle (Fotimes 1)circ (Delta otimes id)F=(1otimes F)circ (idotimes Delta )F}
Furthermore, u=∑ifiS(fi){displaystyle u=sum _{i}f^{i}S(f_{i})} is invertible and the twisted antipode is given by S′(a)=uS(a)u−1{displaystyle S'(a)=uS(a)u^{-1}}
, with the twisted comultiplication, R-matrix and co-unit change according to those defined for the quasi-triangular quasi-Hopf algebra. Such a twist is known as an admissible (or Drinfeld) twist.
