Bi-Frobenius quantum complete intersections with permutation antipodes

TL;DR
This work addresses the lack of Hopf structures on quantum complete intersections by developing bi-Frobenius algebra structures via a carefully constructed comultiplication and a permutation antipode. It introduces the notion of a compatible permutation and derives a necessary-and-sufficient condition, expressed through a compatible $ ho$ with $ ho^2= ext{Id}$ and scalars $c_i$, along with the invariant $q_ ho$ and the product constraint $q_ hoig(ig(orall iig) c_i^{a_i-1}ig)=1$, to realize a bi-Frobenius structure. The authors provide explicit coalgebra data, including the constants $g_{f a-1-v, ho(v)}$ and the Δ-map, and prove that under these conditions the algebra $A({f q},{f a})$ becomes bi-Frobenius with a graded antipode $S$ that acts as a permutation on the standard basis. They further show intrinsic, coefficient-based criteria for the existence of such structures, including symmetric and characteristic-dependent cases, offering a large class of bi-Frobenius algebras not arising from Hopf algebras. The results extend the landscape of bi-Frobenius algebras by linking combinatorial permutation data to algebra/coalgebra compatibility in quantum complete intersections.
Abstract
Quantum complete intersections $A= A({\bf q, a})$ are Frobenius algebras, but in the most cases they can not become Hopf algebras. This paper aims to find bi-Frobenius algebra structures on $A$. A key step is the construction of comultiplication, such that $A$ becomes a bi-Frobenius algebra. By introducing compatible permutation and permutation antipode, a necessary and sufficient condition is found, such that $A$ admits a bi-Frobenius algebra structure with permutation antipode; and if this is the case, then a concrete construction is explicitly given. Using this, intrinsic conditions only involving the structure coefficients $({\bf q, a})$ of $A$ are obtained, for $A$ admitting a bi-Frobenius algebra structure with permutation antipode. When $A$ is symmetric, $A$ admits a bi-Frobenius algebra structure with permutation antipode if and only if there exists a compatible permutation $π$ with $A$ such that $π^2 = {\rm Id}$.
