Introduction to Hopf-Cyclic Cohomology (original) (raw)

Cyclic Cohomology and Hopf Symmetry

Eprint Arxiv Math 0002125, 2000

Cyclic cohomology has been recently adapted to the treatment of Hopf symmetry in noncommutative geometry. The resulting theory of characteristic classes for Hopf algebras and their actions on algebras allows to expand the range of applications of cyclic cohomology. It is the goal of the present paper to illustrate these recent developments, with special emphasis on the application to transverse index theory, and point towards future directions. In particular, we highlight the remarkable accord between our framework for cyclic cohomology of Hopf algebras on one hand and both the algebraic as well as the analytic theory of quantum groups on the other, manifest in the construction of the modular square.

K T ] 1 J ul 2 00 3 Hopf-cyclic homology and cohomology with coefficients

2003

Following the idea of an invariant differential complex, we construct general-type cyclic modules that provide the common denominator of known cyclic theories. The cyclicity of these modules is governed by Hopfalgebraic structures. We prove that the existence of a cyclic operator forces a modification of the Yetter-Drinfeld compatibility condition leading to the concept of a stable anti-Yetter-Drinfeld module. This module plays the role of the space of coefficients in the thus obtained cyclic cohomology of module algebras and coalgebras, and the cyclic homology and cohomology of comodule algebras. Along the lines of Connes and Moscovici, we show that there is a pairing between the cyclic cohomology of a module coalgebra acting on a module algebra and closed 0-cocycles on the latter. The pairing takes values in the usual cyclic cohomology of the algebra. Similarly, we argue that there is an analogous pairing between closed 0-cocycles of a module coalgebra and the cyclic cohomology of...

Cyclic cohomology and Hopf algebras

Letters in Mathematical Physics, 1999

We associate canonically a cyclic module to any Hopf algebra endowed with a modular pair in involution, consisting of a group-like element and a character. This provides the key construction for allowing the extension of cyclic cohomology to Hopf algebras in the ...

Generalized Coefficients for Hopf Cyclic Cohomology

Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2014

A category of coefficients for Hopf cyclic cohomology is defined. It is shown that this category has two proper subcategories of which the smallest one is the known category of stable anti Yetter-Drinfeld modules. The middle subcategory is comprised of those coefficients which satisfy a generalized SAYD condition depending on both the Hopf algebra and the (co)algebra in question. Some examples are introduced to show that these three categories are different. It is shown that all components of Hopf cyclic cohomology work well with the new coefficients we have defined.

A survey on Hopf-cyclic cohomology and Connes-Moscovici characteristic map

Noncommutative Geometry and Global Analysis, 2011

In 1998 Alain Connes and Henri Moscovici invented a cohomology theory for Hopf algebras and a characteristic map associated with the cohomology theory in order to solve a specific technical problem in transverse index theory. In the following decade, the cohomology theory they invented developed on its own under the name Hopf-cyclic cohomology. But the history of Hopf-cyclic cohomology and the characteristic map they invented remained intricately linked. In this survey article, we give an account of the development of the characteristic map and Hopf-cyclic cohomology. This is a free offprint provided to the author by the publisher.

Hopf cyclic cohomology and transverse characteristic classes

Advances in Mathematics, 2011

We refine the cyclic cohomological apparatus for computing the Hopf cyclic cohomology of the Hopf algebras associated to infinite primitive Cartan-Lie pseudogroups, and for the transfer of their characteristic classes to foliations. The main novel feature is the precise identification as a Hopf cyclic complex of the image of the canonical homomorphism from the Gelfand-Fuks complex to the Bott complex for equivariant cohomology. This provides a convenient new model for the Hopf cyclic cohomology of the geometric Hopf algebras, which allows for an efficient transport of the Hopf cyclic classes via characteristic homomorphisms. We illustrate the latter aspect by indicating how to realize the universal Hopf cyclic Chern classes in terms of explicit cocycles in the cyclic cohomology ofétale foliation groupoids.
