symmetric monoidal (∞,1)-category of spectra
The Drinfel’d double- or quantum double-construction a sends a Hopf algebra to a quasi-triangular Hopf algebra [Drinfeld (1987)]; or more generally, it sends a quasi-Hopf algebra to a quasi-triangulated quasi-Hopf algebra [Majid (1994)].
Geometrically, if the given Hopf algebra is the group algebra of a finite group , then the quantum double is the groupoid convolution algebra of the corresponding inertia groupoid (this is made almost explicit in Dijkgraaf, Pasquier & Roche (1990), eq. 2.1.10; the categorified version of this statement is highlighted in Hinich (2007)).
More generally, if the given quasi-Hopf algebra is the twisted groupoid convolution algebra of a group cohomology 3-cocycle , then the corresponding quantum double is the twisted groupoid convolution algebra of the inertia groupoid equipped with the transgressed 2-cocycle [Willerton (2005)]
Given a field , Drinfel’d (or Drinfeld or quantum) double of a finite dimensional Hopf -algebra is the tensor product algebra where with induced canonical Hopf algebra structure. It appears that the canonical element in (the image of the identity under the isomorphism ) is a universal -element in making it into a quasitriangular Hopf algebra, which is making it “almost cocommutative”.
This quasitriangular structure in some infinite-dimensional versions of the construction is related to the quasitriangular structure on some quantum groups.
The category of modules over a quantum double of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra is equivalent to the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules of .
For a Hopf algebra arising as the groupoid convolution algebra of a finite groupoid, the category of modules of its Drinfeld double is equivalently the Drinfeld center of the category of modules of the original algebra.
More generally, the analog of this statement holds for orbifolds (Hinich (2007)).
