Notes on extensions of Hopf algebras

TL;DR: In this paper, examples and applications of the notion of exact sequences of Hopf algebras are presented. But they do not cover the problem of exact Hopf embedding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum Double for Quasi-Hopf Algebras

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantum double quasi-triangular quasi-Hopf algebra D(H) associated to any quasi-hopf algebra H is introduced, and the algebra structure is a cocycle double crossproduct.

On Differential Rota-Baxter Algebras

TL;DR: A Rota-Baxter operator of weight is an abstraction of both the integral operator and the summation operator (when λ = 0) as discussed by the authors, and is related in the same way that the differential operator and integral operator are related by the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthetic Topology

TL;DR: One of the main contributions of this monograph is to explain the computational nature of the the notion of compactness, which is a computational version of the Tychonoff theorem.

On Free Baxter Algebras: Completions and the Internal Construction

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend the construction of shuffle Baxter algebras to completions of Baxter algebra, which is analogous to the process of completing a polynomial algebra to obtain a power series algebra.
