The Representations of Quantum Double of Dihedral Groups

Abstract

Let k be an algebraically closed field of odd characteristic p, and let Dn be the dihedral group of order 2n such that p|2n. Let D(kDn) denote the quantum double of the group algebra kDn. In this paper, we describe the structures of all finite-dimensional indecomposable left D(kDn)-modules, equivalently, of all finite-dimensional indecomposable Yetter-Drinfeld kDn-modules, and classify them.
