Yetter-Drinfel'd modules for group-cograded multiplier Hopf algebras

Abstract

We give a representation-theoretic and a categorical interpretation of the Drinfel'd double into the framework of group-cograded multiplier Hopf algebras. The Drinfel'd double as constructed by Zunino for a finite-type Hopf group-coalgebra is an example of this construction in the sense that the components of the group-cograded multiplier Hopf algebras are unital and finite-dimensional algebras and the admissible action is related with the adjoint action of the group on itself.
