Yetter-Drinfel’d module


Definition 0.1.

Let H be a quasi-bialgebra (http://planetmath.org/Bialgebra) with reassociator Φ. A left H-module M together with a left H-coaction λM:M→H⊗M,

λM⁢(m)=∑m(Ã⁢¢⁢Ë⁢†⁢â⁢€⁢™⁢1)⊗m0

is called a left Yetter-Drinfeld module if the following equalities hold, for all h∈H and m∈M:

∑X1m(Ã⁢¢⁢Ë⁢†⁢â⁢€⁢™⁢1)⊗(X2.m(0))(Ã⁢¢⁢Ë⁢†⁢â⁢€⁢™⁢1)X3⊗(X2.m(0))0=∑X1(Y1×m)(Ã⁢¢⁢Ë⁢†⁢â⁢€⁢™⁢1)⁢1Y2⊗X2×(Y1xm)(Ã⁢¢⁢Ë⁢†⁢â⁢€⁢™⁢1)⁢2×Y3⊗X3x(Y1xm)(0),

and

∑ϵ⁢(m(Ã⁢¢⁢Ë⁢†⁢â⁢€⁢™⁢1))⁢m0=m,

and

∑h1m(Ã⁢¢⁢Ë⁢†⁢â⁢€⁢™⁢1)⊗h2×m0=∑(h1.m)(Ã⁢¢⁢Ë⁢†⁢â⁢€⁢™⁢1)h2⊗(h1.m)0.

Remark: This module (ref.[1]) is essential for solving the quasi-Yang-Baxter equation which is an important relation in Mathematical Physics.
Drinfel’d modules: Let us consider a module that operates over a ring of functions on a curve over a finite fieldMathworldPlanetmath, which is called an elliptic module. Such modules were first studied by Vladimir Drinfel’d in 1973 and called accordingly Drinfel’d modules.
