Non-abelian Hopf Cohomology of Radford products

Abstract

We study the non-abelian Hopf cohomology theory of Radford products with coefficients in a comodule algebra. We show that these sets can be expressed in terms of the non-abelian Hopf cohomology theory of each factor of the Radford product. We write down an exact sequence relating these objects. This allows to compute explicitly the non-abelian Hopf cohomology sets in large classes of examples.
