Title:  Finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras of finite Cartan type

Speaker: Pro. Yinhuo Zhang, Hasselt University, Belgium

Abstract:    In this paper, we present a general method for constructing finite-dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras from finite abelian groups and braided vector spaces of Cartan type. The study of such quasi-Hopf algebras leads to the classification of finite-dimensional radically graded basic quasi-Hopf algebras over abelian groups  with dimensions  not divisible by $2,3,5,7$ and  associators  given by abelian $3$-cocycles. As special cases , the small quasi-quantum groups are introduced and studied. Many new explicit examples of finite-dimensional genuine quasi-Hopf algebras are obtained.
