Connected Hopf Algebras that are Not Hopf Ore Extensions of Enveloping Algebras

TL;DR
The paper constructs UM(r,2s), a family of connected Hopf algebras with finite GK-dimension that are not IHOEs of the enveloping algebra of their primitive parts, answering Li–Zhou negatively. Despite not arising as IHOEs, these algebras admit an explicit iterated crossed-product presentation by enveloping algebras, realized through a decomposition involving 𝔩, Y, and so(B). The authors compute the Nakayama automorphism, showing UM(r,2s) is Calabi–Yau when r=2s, and establish a Calabi–Yau/Poisson-deformation viewpoint for these algebras. The minimal non-IHOE example appears at UM(4,4) (GK-dimension 19), with UM(2,2) serving as a known IHOE of the base field, highlighting a nuanced landscape between IHOEs and general connected Hopf algebras of finite GK-dimension.
Abstract
We construct a family of connected Hopf algebras with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension, none of which is an iterated Hopf Ore extension of the universal enveloping algebra of its primitive part. This provides a negative answer to a question posed by Li and Zhou. It is also demonstrated that these connected Hopf algebras can be formulated as an iterated crossed product of enveloping algebras.
