Projectivity of Hopf algebras over subalgebras with semilocal central localizations

Abstract

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to extend the class of pairs A, H where H is a Hopf algebra over a field and A a right coideal subalgebra for which H is proved to be either projective or flat as an A-module. The projectivity is obtained under the assumption that H is residually finite dimensional, A has semilocal localizations with respect to a central subring, and there exists a Hopf subalgebra B of H such that the antipode of B is bijective and B is a finitely generated A-module. The flatness of H over A is shown to hold when H is a directed union of residually finite dimensional Hopf subalgebras, and there exists a Hopf subalgebra of H whose center contains A. More general projectivity and flatness results are established for (co)equivariant modules over an H-(co)module algebra under similar assumptions.
