Abstract
We give definition of the second indicator for any finite-dimensional Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 with the square of antipode an inner automorphism. We derive a closed formula for the trace of the antipode on endomorphism algebras of simple self-dual modules of nilpotent type liftings of quantum linear spaces and compute the value of their second indicators. Uniqueness of indicators is examined.
