Representation theory is a field of study within abstract algebra that originated around the turn of the 19th century in the work of Frobenius on representations of finite groups. More recently, Hopf algebras -- a class of algebras that includes group algebras, enveloping algebras of Lie algebras, and many other interesting algebras that are often referred to under the collective name of ``quantum groups'' -- have come to the fore. This dissertation will discuss generalizations of certain results from group representation theory to the setting of Hopf algebras. Specifically, our focus is on the following two areas: Frobenius divisibility and Kaplansky's sixth conjecture, and the adjoint representation and the Chevalley property. / Mathematics

Mathematicians have long thought of symmetry in terms of actions of groups, but group actions have proven too restrictive in some cases to give an interesting picture of the symmetry of some mathematical objects, e.g. some noncommutative algebras. It is generally agreed that the right generalizations of group actions to solve this problem are actions of Hopf algebras, the study of which has exploded in the years since the publication of Sweedler's Hopf algebras in 1969. Different varieties of Hopf algebras have been useful in many fields of mathematics. For instance, in his "Quantum Groups" paper, Vladimir Drinfel'd introduced quasitriangular Hopf algebras, a class of Hopf algebras whose modules each provide a solution to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation. Solutions of this equation are a source of knot and link invariants and in physics, determine if a one-dimensional quantum system is integrable. Drinfel'd also introduced the Drinfel'd double construction, which produces for each finite-dimensional Hopf algebra a quasitriangular one in which the original embeds. This thesis is motivated by work of Susan Montgomery and Hans-Jürgen Schneider on actions of the Taft (Hopf) algebras T_n(q) and extending such actions to the Drinfel'd double D(T_n(q)). In 2001, Montgomery and Schneider classified all non-trivial actions of T_n(q) on an n-dimensional associative algebra A. It turns out that A must be isomorphic to the group algebra of grouplike elements kG(T_n(q)). They further determined that each such action extends uniquely to an action of the Drinfel'd double D(T_n(q)) on A, effectively showing that each action has a unique compatible coaction. We generalize Montgomery and Schneider's results to Hopf algebras related to the Taft algebras: the Sweedler (Hopf) algebra, bosonizations of 1-dimensional quantum linear spaces, generalized Taft algebras, and the Frobenius-Lusztig kernel u_q(sl_2). For each Hopf algebra H, we determine 1. whether there are non-trivial actions of H on A, 2. the possible H-actions on A, and 3. the possible D(H)-actions on A extending an H-action and how many there are. / Mathematics

We study the Hopf-Galois module structure of algebraic integers in some finite extensions of $ p $-adic fields and number fields which are at most tamely ramified. We show that if $ L/K $ is a finite unramified extension of $ p $-adic fields which is Hopf-Galois for some Hopf algebra $ H $ then the ring of algebraic integers $ \OL $ is a free module of rank one over the associated order $ \AH $. If $ H $ is a commutative Hopf algebra, we show that this conclusion remains valid in finite ramified extensions of $ p $-adic fields if $ p $ does not divide the degree of the extension. We prove analogous results for finite abelian Galois extensions of number fields, in particular showing that if $ L/K $ is a finite abelian domestic extension which is Hopf-Galois for some commutative Hopf algebra $ H $ then $ \OL $ is locally free over $ \AH $. We study in greater detail tamely ramified Galois extensions of number fields with Galois group isomorphic to $ C_{p} \times C_{p} $, where $ p $ is a prime number. Byott has enumerated and described all the Hopf-Galois structures admitted by such an extension. We apply the results above to show that $ \OL $ is locally free over $ \AH $ in all of the Hopf-Galois structures, and derive necessary and sufficient conditions for $ \OL $ to be globally free over $ \AH $ in each of the Hopf-Galois structures. In the case $ p = 2 $ we consider the implications of taking $ K = \Q $. In the case that $ p $ is an odd prime we compare the structure of $ \OL $ as a module over $ \AH $ in the various Hopf-Galois structures.

Cette thèse se situe à l'interface de la combinatoire énumérative et algébrique et porte sur l'étude des probabilités du processus d'exclusion partiellement asymétrique (PASEP).Dans un premier temps, nous démontrons bijectivement une conjecture de Novelli-Thibon-Williams concernant l'interprétation combinatoire de coefficients de matrices de transition dans l'algèbre des fonctions symétriques non-commutatives. Plus précisément, ces matrices expriment les coefficients de changement de base des bases complètes et rubans d'une part vers les bases monomiales et fondamentales introduites par Tevlin d'autre part. Les coefficients de ces matrices donnent un raffinement des probabilités du PASEP et sont décrits en utilisant de nouvelles statistiques sur les permutations. La conjecture stipule que ce raffinement peut se formuler via des statistiques déjà connues dans le monde du PASEP. Nous nous intéressons ensuite à une généralisation du PASEP avec deux types de particules dans le modèle : le 2-PASEP. Nous donnons ainsi plusieurs interprétations combinatoires des probabilités de ce modèle. Pour ce faire, nous introduisons une nouvelle famille de chemins généralisant les histoires de Laguerre : les histoires de Laguerre marquées. Nous généralisons ensuite la bijection de Françon-Viennot entre les histoires de Laguerre et les permutations pour définir les permutations partiellement signées qui nous donneront une seconde interprétation combinatoire de ces probabilités. Dans une troisième partie, nous généralisons les travaux de Tevlin afin de définir des bases monomiales et fondamentales dans l'algèbre des compositions segmentées. Afin de décrire les matrices de changement de base entre ces bases et d'autres déjà connues dans cette algèbre, nous définissons une algèbre indexée par les permutations partiellement signées en utilisant les statistiques définies précédemment pour décrire la combinatoire du 2-PASEP. Nous définissons également des q-analogues de ces bases afin de faire le lien avec les probabilités du 2-PASEP en fonction du paramètre q de ce modèle. Enfin, en utilisant le fait que les permutations partiellement signées sont en bijection avec les permutations segmentées, nous nous inspirons des statistiques définies précédemment pour introduire des descentes sur ces objets et ainsi définir une généralisation des polynômes eulériens sur les permutations segmentées. Pour étudier ces polynômes, nous utilisons les outils algébriques développés dans la partie précédente / This thesis comes within the scope of enumerative and algebraic combinatorics and studies the probabilities of the partially asymmetric exclusion process (PASEP).First, we bijectively prove a conjecture of Novelli-Thibon-Williams concerning the combinatorial interpretation of the entries of the transition matrices between some bases of the noncommutative symmetric functions algebra. More precisely, these matrices correspond to the transition matrices of, on the one hand the complete and ribbon bases and on the other hand the monomial and fundamental bases, both introduced by Tevlin. The coefficients of these matrices provide a refinement of the probabilities of the PASEP and are described using new statistics on permutations. This conjecture states that this refinement can also be described using classical statistics of the PASEP. In the second part, we study a generalization of the PASEP using two kinds of particles: the 2-PASEP. Hence, we give several combinatorial interpretations of the probabilities of this model. In order to do so, we define a new family of paths generalizing the Laguerre histories: the marked Laguerre histories. We also generalize the Françon-Viennot bijection between Laguerre histories and permutations to define partially signed permutations giving another combinatorial interpretation of these probabilities. In a third part, we generalize Tevlin's work in order to define a monomial basis and a fundamental basis on the algebra over segmented compositions. In order to describe the transition matrices between these bases and other bases already known in this algebra, we define an algebra indexed by partially signed permutations using the statistics previously defined to describe the combinatorics of the 2-PASEP. We also define some q-analogues of these bases related to the probabilities of the 2-PASEP according to the q parameter of this model. Finally, using the fact that partially signed permutations and segmented permutations are in bijection, we use the statistics defined previously to define descents on these objects and get a generalization of the Eulerian polynomials on segmented permutations. To study these polynomials, we use the algebraic tools introduced in the previous part

Demonstramos um teorema da correspondência do tipo Galois para ações de álgebras de Hopf pontuais de dimensão finita em álgebras primas. A correspondência acontece entre subálgebras racionalmente completas e comódulo subálgebras. As subálgebras racionalmente completas são subálgebras da álgebra prima, enquanto os comódulo subálgebras são comódulo subálgebras do produto smash entre o centralizador da álgebra prima em sua álgebra de quocientes de Martindale simétrica e a álgebra de Hopf. / A Galois-type correspondence theorem for prime algebras acted upon by a finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebra is proved. The correspondence involves rationally complete subalgebras and comodule subalgebras. The rationally complete subalgebras are subalgebras of the prime algebra, while the comodule subalgebras are comodule subalgebras of the smash product between the centralizer of the prime algebra in its symmetric Martindale quotient algebra and the Hopf algebra.

Extensões de Ore são anéis de polinômios, denotados por R[x o &], nos quais a variável x e os elementos de R não comutam necessariamente. Algebras de Hopf fracas são algebras que tamb em são coálgebras e satisfazem um conjunto de axiomas de compatibilidade entre essas estruturas. Neste trabalho investigamos extensões de Ore cujo anel base e uma algebra de Hopf fraca. Mais especi camente, dada uma algebra de Hopf fraca R, estudamos sob quais condições R[x o &] e uma algebra de Hopf fraca com uma estrutura que estende a estrutura de R. Sob certas hipóteses, obtemos condições necessárias e su cientes para que a extensão de Ore seja uma álgebra de Hopf fraca, obtendo assim um resultado que generaliza um teorema de Panov para o contexto de algebras de Hopf fracas. / Ore extensions are polynomial rings, denoted by R[x o &], in which the variable x and the elements of R do not commute necessarily. Weak Hopf algebras are algebras which are also coalgebras and satisfy a set of axioms of compatibility betweem these structures. In this work, we investigate Ore extensions whose base ring is a weak Hopf algebra. More speci cally, if R is a weak Hopf algebra then we study under what conditions R[xo &] is a weak Hopf algebra extending the structure of R. Under certain hypotheses, we obtain necessary and su cient conditions for an Ore extension to be a weak Hopf algebra, obtaining a result that generalizes a Panov's theorem to the setting of weak Hopf algebras.

Orientador: Marcelo Messias / Banca: Luis Fernando de Osório Mello / Banca: Vanessa Avansini Botta Pirani / Resumo: Nesta dissertação fazemos um estudo de modelos biológicos do tipo Lotka-Volterra, utilizando como ferramenta principal a teoria qualitativa das equações diferenciais ordinárias. Abordamos, no plano e no espaço, alguns modelos do tipo predador-presa. Analisamos os comportamentos das soluções sob a variação dos parâmetros e tratamos com detalhes a bifurcação de Hopf, que dá origem a uma órbita periódica isolada (ciclo limite). Estudamos também um teorema devido a Li e Muldowney [16] sobre a estabilidade global de um ponto de equilíbrio para um sistema x˙ = f(x), x ∈ Rn. Aplicamos este resultado no estudo de um modelo de HIV tridimensional, provando a estabilidade global de um ponto de equilíbrio, para certos valores dos parâmetros. Para o mesmo modelo, verificamos a ocorrência de uma dupla bifurcação de Hopf, que leva ao surgimento e posterior desaparecimento de um ciclo limite, ao variarmos um dos parâmetros envolvidos no sistema. As bifurcações de Hopf ocorrem simultaneamente à perda de estabilidade global do ponto de equilíbrio / Abstract: In this work we present a study of biological models of Lotka-Volterra type, using as main tool the qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations. We analyze some two and three dimensional predator-prey models. The behavior of the solutions are studied under the variation of parameters and it is shown that a Hopf bifurcation occurs, leading to the creation of an isolated periodic orbit (limit cycle). We also study a theorem due to Li and Muldowney [16] about the global stability of an equilibrium point of a system x˙ = f(x), x ∈ Rn. We apply this result in the analysis of a three dimensional model of HIV with treatment, showing the global stability of an equilibrium point, for certain parameter values. For the same model, we prove the occurrence of two Hopf bifurcations, leading to the birth and subsequent death of a limit cycle, when we vary one of the parameters of the model. The Hopf bifurcations occurs simultaneously to the lack of global stability of the equilibrium point / Mestre
