We investigate the structures of Hopf $\ast$-algebra on the Radford algebras over $\mathbb {C}$. All the $*$-structures on $H$ are explicitly given. Moreover, these Hopf $*$-algebra structures are classified up to equivalence., Comment: 11 pages

In this paper, we compute the projective class rings of the tensor product $\mathcal{H}_n(q)=A_n(q)\otimes A_n(q^{-1})$ of Taft algebras $A_n(q)$ and $A_n(q^{-1})$, and its cocycle deformations $H_n(0,q)$ and $H_n(1,q)$, where $n>2$ is a positive integer and $q$ is a primitive $n$-th root of unity. It is shown that the projective class rings $r_p(\mathcal{H}_n(q))$, $r_p(H_n(0,q))$ and $r_p(H_n(1,q))$ are commutative rings generated by three elements, three elements and two elements subject to some relations, respectively. It turns out that even $\mathcal{H}_n(q)$, $H_n(0,q)$ and $H_n(1,q)$ are cocycle twist-equivalent to each other, they are of different representation types: wild, wild and tame, respectively., Comment: 17 page

In this article, we investigate the representation ring (or Green ring) of the Drinfeld double $D(H_n(q))$ of the Taft algebra $H_n(q)$, where $n$ is an integer with $n>2$ and $q$ is a root of unity of order $n$. It is shown that the Green ring $r(D(H_n(q)))$ is a commutative ring generated by infinitely many elements subject to certain relations., Comment: 14 pages
