Abstract
Let A and H be two Hopf algebras. We shall classify up to an isomorphism that stabilizes A all Hopf algebras E that factorize through A and H by a cohomological type object \({\mathcal H}^{2} (A, H)\). Equivalently, we classify up to a left A-linear Hopf algebra isomorphism, the set of all bicrossed products A ⋈ H associated to all possible matched pairs of Hopf algebras \((A, H, \triangleleft, \triangleright)\) that can be defined between A and H. In the construction of \({\mathcal H}^{2} (A, H)\) the key role is played by special elements of \(CoZ^{1} (H, A) \times {\rm Aut}\,_{\rm CoAlg}^1 (H)\), where CoZ 1 (H, A) is the group of unitary cocentral maps and \({\rm Aut}\,_{\rm CoAlg}^1 (H)\) is the group of unitary automorphisms of the coalgebra H. Among several applications and examples, all bicrossed products H 4 ⋈ k[C n ] are described by generators and relations and classified: they are quantum groups at roots of unity H 4n, ω which are classified by pure arithmetic properties of the ring ℤ n . The Dirichlet’s theorem on primes is used to count the number of types of isomorphisms of this family of 4n-dimensional quantum groups. As a consequence of our approach the group Aut Hopf(H 4n, ω ) of Hopf algebra automorphisms is fully described.
