Two-sided (two-cosided) Hopf modules and Doi-Hopf modules for quasi-Hopf algebras

Abstract

Let $H$ be a finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra over a field $k$ and $\mathfrak{A}$ a right $H$-comodule algebra in the sense of Hausser and Nill. We first show that on the $k$-vector space ${\mathfrak A}\ot H^*$ we can define an algebra structure, denoted by ${\mathfrak A}\ovsm H^*$, in the monoidal category of left $H$-modules (i.e. ${\mathfrak A}\ovsm H^*$ is an $H$-module algebra. Then we will prove that the category of two-sided $(\mathfrak{A},H)$-bimodules $\hba $ is isomorphic to the category of relative $({\mathfrak A}\ovsm H^*, H^*)$-Hopf modules, as introduced in by Hausser and Nill. In the particular case where $\mathfrak{A}=H$, we will obtain a result announced by Nill. We will also introduce the categories of Doi-Hopf modules and two-sided two-cosided Hopf modules and we will show that they are in certain situations isomorphic to module categories.
