A class of (infinite-dimensional) cosemisimple Hopf algebras constructed via abelian extensions

Abstract

In this paper, we aim to study abelian extensions for some infinite group. We show that the Hopf algebra $\Bbbk^G{}^\tau\#_{\sigma}\Bbbk F$ constructed through abelian extensions of $\Bbbk F$ by $\Bbbk^G$ for some (infinite) group $F$ and finite group $G$ is cosemisimple, and discuss when it admits a compact quantum group structure if $\Bbbk$ is the field of complex numbers $\mathbb{C}.$ We also find all the simple $\Bbbk^G{}^\tau\#_{\sigma}\Bbbk F$-comodules and attempt to determine the Grothendieck ring of the category of finite-dimensional right $\Bbbk^G{}^\tau\#_{\sigma}\Bbbk F$-comodules. Moreover, some new properties are given and some new examples are constructed.
