Abstract
In this paper, for two Hopf algebras A, H and a normal twisted cocycle σ in a braided monoidal category C we construct a Hopf algebra A σ ⋊ H that generalizes the ones defined by S. Majid in Citation5-7. Moreover, we prove that recent constructions of crossed products of Hopf algebras in a category of modules over a field, for example, the Hopf algebra A ☆ H considered by Wang and Li in Citation[10], are examples of the Majid constructions and then special cases of A σ ⋊ H.
