1. Introduction
Ore extensions play a key role in classifying pointed Hopf algebras, see for example [
1,
2,
3,
4,
5]. It also can provide some neither pointed nor semisimple Hopf algebras, see for example ([
6], Examples 3.1 and 3.3).
Panov [
7] introduced the concept of Hopf-Ore extension
of which the variable
x is restricted to a skew primitive element and gave some equivalent descriptions. Later the Hopf-Ore extensions for some special Hopf algebras were obtained, such as quasitriangular Hopf algebras and multiplier Hopf algebras, see for example [
8,
9,
10,
11]. The authors [
12] gave the realization of PBW-deformations of an quantum group via iterated Ore extensions. As is well-known, a Drinfeld’s twist
for a Hopf algebra
R gives rise to a new Hopf algebra
with the same underlying algebra and the coalgebra structure, which is twisted from
by
. Moreover, if
is a quasitriangular Hopf algebra, so is
, where
(see for example [
13,
14,
15,
16,
17]). Now, let
R be a bialgebra or Hopf algebra and
an automorphism of
R. Recently, Yang and Zhang [
6] described Hopf algebra structures on the localization of skew polynomial ring
and the quotients of
, for a certain Hopf ideal
I of
, where
is a Ore extension of automorphism type. Recall that the Sweedler
s Hopf Algebra
is a noncommutative and noncocommutative quasitriangular Hopf algebra of the smallest dimension. It is one of the few examples discovered in the early stage of the exhibition, and now it still plays an important role in the theoretical development of Hopf algebra [
18]. In this paper, we study Ore extensions of automorphism type for the Hopf algebra
. Consequently, Ore extensions of
that are of bialgebras are classified. Some new examples of Hopf algebras of dimension
, consisting some neither pointed nor semisimple Hopf algebras are given.
The paper is organized as follows.
In
Section 1, some basic notions of Ore extensions, Hopf algebras, Drinfeld
s twists and twisted homomorphisms are reviewed. One fundamental result (Theorem 1) about the Ore extensions of automorphism type for Hopf algebras is established. In
Section 2, we firstly compute the equivalent classes of twisted homomorphisms for
. Equivalently, the isomorphism classes of Ore extensions of automorphism type for
are described. In
Section 3, up to bialgebra isomorphisms, the classes of the Ore extensions of automorphism type for
are determined completely (Theorem 3). All Hopf algebras structures on the quotients of Ore extensions of automorphism type for
are also classified (Theorem 4).
2. Preliminaries
Throughout the paper, we work over the fixed field containing some primitive root of unity. All algebras, modules, homomorphisms and tensor products are defined over the field .
The group of automorphisms of an algebra R is denoted by and unless otherwise stated.
Let us recall some basic notions and results about Ore extensions and Hopf algebras. For more details, the readers can refer to [
18,
19].
Suppose that
R is a ring,
a ring homomorphism, and
a
-derivation of
R, which means that
is a homomorphism of abelian groups satisfying
Then an Ore extension
, is defined by a noncommutative ring obtained by giving the ring of polynomials
a new multiplication, subject to the identity
If , the Ore extension is denoted by , and it is called an Ore extension of automorphism type for R.
A bialgebra over the the field is a vector space which is both a unital associative algebra and a coalgebra. The algebraic and coalgebraic structures are compatible with a few more axioms: the comultiplication and the counit are both unital algebra homomorphisms, or equivalently, the multiplication and the unit of the algebra both are coalgebra morphisms.
Let
R be a bialgebra with the comultiplication
, the counit
. If there exist a
-map
such that

R is called a Hopf algebra, where we use the sigma notations
Example 1. The Sweedlers 4-dimensional Hopf algebra is defined by is a unique and non-commutative quasi-triangular Hopf algebra of dimension 4. It is one of the few examples discovered in the early stage of the exhibition, and now it still plays an important role in the theoretical development of Hopf algebra.
