On unrolled Hopf algebras

Abstract

We show that the definition of unrolled Hopf algebras can be naturally extended to the Nichols algebra $\mathcal{B}$ of a Yetter-Drinfeld module $V$ on which a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ acts by biderivations. Specializing to Nichols algebras of diagonal type, we find unrolled versions of the small, the De Concini-Procesi and the Lusztig divided power quantum group, respectively.
