Cocycle deformations for Hopf algebras with a coalgebra projection

Abstract

Let $H$ be a Hopf algebra over a field $K$ of characteristic $0$ and let $A$ be a bialgebra or Hopf algebra such that $H$ is isomorphic to a sub-Hopf algebra of $A$ and there is an $H$-bilinear coalgebra projection $\pi$ from $A$ to $H$ which splits the inclusion. Then $A\cong R{\#}_{\xi }H$ where $R$ is the pre-bialgebra of coinvariants. In this paper we study the deformations of $A$ by an $H$-bilinear cocycle. If $\gamma$ is a cocycle for $A$, then $\gamma$ can be restricted to a cocycle ${\gamma }_R$ for $R$, and $A^{\gamma }\cong R^{{\gamma }_R}{\#}_{{\xi }_{\gamma }}H$. As examples, we consider liftings of $\mathcal{B}(V)\#K[\Gamma ]$ where $\Gamma$ is a finite abelian group, $V$ is a quantum plane and $\mathcal{B}(V)$ is its Nichols algebra, and explicitly construct the cocycle which twists the Radford biproduct into the lifting.
