• Define an associative multiplication for a, b ∈ H and f, g ∈ H ∗ by<br />
(f ⊗ a) ∙ (g ⊗ b) := fg(S −1 (a (3) )?a (1) ) ⊗ a (2) b .<br />
The unit for this multiplication is ɛ ⊗ 1 ∈ H ∗ ⊗ H.<br />
A tedious, but direct calculation (see [Kassel, Chapter IX]) shows:<br />
Proposition 4.5.8.<br />
This defines a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra. Moreover, if (e i ) is any basis of H with dual<br />
basis (e i ) of H ∗ , then the element<br />
R := ∑ i<br />
(1 ⊗ e i ) ⊗ (e i ⊗ 1) ∈ D(H) ⊗ D(H) ,<br />
which is independent of the choice of basis, is a universal R-matrix for D(H).<br />
Definition 4.5.9<br />
We call the quasi-triangular Hopf algebra (D(H), R) the Drinfeld double of the Hopf algebra<br />
H.<br />
Remarks 4.5.10.<br />
1. The Drinfeld double D(H) contains H and H ∗ as Hopf subalgebras with embeddings<br />
i H : H → D(H)<br />
a ↦→ 1 ⊗ a<br />
and<br />
i H ∗ : H ∗ → D(H)<br />
f ↦→ f ⊗ 1 .<br />
2. One checks that<br />
ι H ∗(f) ∙ ι H (a) = (f ⊗ 1) ∙ (1 ⊗ a) = fɛ(S −1 1 (3) ?1 (1) ) ⊗ 1 (2) ∙ a = f ⊗ a<br />
and therefore writes f ∙a instead of f ⊗a. The multiplication on D(H) is then determined<br />
by the straightening formula<br />
a ∙ f = f(S −1 (a (3) ?a (1) ) ∙ a (2) .<br />
3. The Hopf algebra D(H) is quasi-triangular, even if the Hopf algebra H does not admit<br />
an R-matrix. If (H, R) is already quasi-triangular, then one can show that the linear map<br />
π R : D(H) → H<br />
fa ↦→ f(R 1 )R 2 ∙ a<br />
is a morphism of Hopf algebras. The multiplicative inverse R of R gives a second projection<br />
π R : D(H) → H. For more details, we refer to the article [S].<br />
Proposition 4.5.11.<br />
The Drinfeld double D(H) of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra H is factorizable.<br />
