TL;DR
This work classifies simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules over the infinite-dimensional Taft algebra $H(n,t,\xi)$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, distinguishing finite- and infinite-dimensional cases. It constructs a canonical standard-basis framework for simple modules, derives the associated comatrix describing comodule structure, and proves that all finite-dimensional simples are $V(ti,j,\lambda)$ while infinite-dimensional ones arise precisely when $\gcd(t,n)>1$ as $V(i,j)$. The finiteness of Nichols algebras $\mathcal{B}(V)$ is characterized via a reduction to diagonal-type Nichols algebras and Heckenberger diagrams, yielding explicit tables of the finite cases and proving infinite-dimensionality in the remaining regimes. Overall, the results advance the understanding of simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules and Nichols algebras over infinite-dimensional Taft algebras, with implications for the structure and classification of pointed Hopf algebras of GK-dimension one.
Abstract
Let H be an infinite-dimensional Taft algebra over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. We find all the simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules V over H, and classifies those V with B(V) is finite-dimensional.
