Characterization of quasi-Yetter–Drinfeld modules.

In this paper, we characterize quasi-Yetter–Drinfeld modules over a Hopf algebra H , which was introduced in [Y. Bazlov and A. Berenstein, Braided doubles and rational Cherednik algebras, Adv. Math. 220 (2009), 1466–1530]. We first show that the quasi-Drinfeld center of the category of H -modules is equivalent to the category H H 𝒬 𝒴 𝒟 of quasi-Yetter–Drinfeld modules. Next, we prove that H H 𝒬 𝒴 𝒟 is equivalent to the category of generalized Hopf bimodules. Finally, we show that H H 𝒬 𝒴 𝒟 is also equivalent to the category of quasi-coactions over some Majid's braided group if H is quasi-triangular. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
