# Yetter-Drinfel’d module

###### Definition 0.1.

Let $H$ be a quasi-bialgebra (http://planetmath.org/Bialgebra) with reassociator $\Phi$. A left $H$-module $M$ together with a left $H$-coaction $\lambda_{M}:M\to H\otimes M,$

 $\lambda_{M}(m)=\sum m_{(âˆ’1)}\otimes m_{0}$

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

 $\sum X^{1}m_{(âˆ’1)}\otimes(X^{2}.m_{(0)})_{(âˆ’1)}X^{3}\otimes(X^{2}.% m_{(0)})_{0}=\sum X^{1}(Y^{1}\times m)_{(âˆ’1)1}Y^{2}\otimes X^{2}\times(Y% ^{1}xm)_{(âˆ’1)2}\times Y^{3}\otimes X^{3}x(Y^{1}xm)_{(0)},$

and

 $\sum\epsilon(m_{(âˆ’1)})m_{0}=m,$

and

 $\sum h_{1}m_{(âˆ’1)}\otimes h_{2}\times m_{0}=\sum(h_{1}.m)_{(âˆ’1)}h_% {2}\otimes(h_{1}.m)_{0}.$

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 field, which is called an elliptic module. Such modules were first studied by Vladimir Drinfel’d in 1973 and called accordingly Drinfel’d modules.
