REPRESENTATIONS OF A CLASS OF DRINFELD'S DOUBLES

Abstract

Let k be a field and A_n(ω) be the Taft's n²-dimensional Hopf algebra. When n is odd, the Drinfeld quantum double D(A_n(ω)) of A_n(ω) is a ribbon Hopf algebra. In the previous articles, we constructed an n₄-dimensional Hopf algebra H_n(p, q) which is isomorphic to D(A_n(ω)) if p ≠ 0 and q = ω⁻¹ , and studied the irreducible representations of H_n(1, q) and the finite dimensional representations of H₃(1, q). In this article, we examine the finite-dimensional representations of H_n(l q), equivalently, of D(A_n(ω)) for any n ≥ 2. We investigate the indecomposable left H_n(1, q)-module, and describe the structures and properties of all indecomposable modules and classify them when k is algebraically closed. We also give all almost split sequences in mod H_n(1, q), and the Auslander-Reiten-quiver of H_n(1 q).
