Splitting Property of quasitriangular Hopf algebras

Abstract

We investigate the splitting property of quasitriangular Hopf algebras through the lens of twisted tensor products. Specifically, we demonstrate that an infinite-dimensional quasitriangular Hopf algebra possesses the splitting property if it admits a factorizable quotient Hopf algebra. We also establish that the splitting property holds if there exists a full rank quotient Hopf algebra where the left and right coinvariants coincide. As a consequence, we obtain a new obstruction for quasitriangular structure in finite-dimensional Hopf algebras.
