Abstract
Let π be a group. In this article, we introduce the notions of a weak Doi–Hopf π-module and a weak π-twisted smash product. We show that the Yetter–Drinfel'd π-modules over a weak crossed Hopf π-coalgebra (WT-coalgebra) are special cases as these new weak Doi–Hopf π-modules, generalizing the main result by Caenepeel et al. (Citation1997) and that the Drinfel'd double for WT-coalgebras (Van Daele and Wang, Citation2008) appears as, a type of such a weak π -twisted smash product, respectively. Finally, starting from a weak Hopf algebra endowed with an action of a group π by weak Hopf automorphisms, we construct a quasitriangular weak Hopf π -coalgebra by a twisted double method, generalizing the main result in Virelizier (Citation2005). This method allows us to obtain nontrivial examples of quasitriangular weak Hopf π-coalgebras.
