Resumen de Hopf subalgebras and tensor powers of generalized permutation modules

Lars Kadison

• By means of a certain module V and its tensor powers in a finite tensor category, we study a question of whether the depth of a Hopf subalgebra R of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra H is finite. The module V is the counit representation induced from R to H, which is then a generalized permutation module, as well as a module coalgebra. We show that if in the subalgebra pair either Hopf algebra has finite representation type, or V is either semisimple with R. pointed, projective, or its tensor powers satisfy a Burnside ring formula over a finite set of Hopf subalgebras including R, then the depth of R in H is finite. One assigns a nonnegative integer depth to V, or any other H-module, by comparing the truncated tensor algebras of V in a finite tensor category and so obtains upper and lower bounds for depth of a Hopf subalgebra. For example, a relative Hopf restricted module has depth 1, and a permutationmodule of a corefree subgroup has depth less than the number of values of its character.
