"This remarkable reference covers topics such as quantum groups, Hopf Galois theory, actions and coactions of Hopf algebras, smash and crossed products, and the structure of cosemisimple Hopf algebras. "
Proceedings of a conference held in Chicago, Illinois, in August 1992. Papers discuss connections of Hopf algebras to other areas of mathematics, including category theory, group theory, combinatorics, and the theory of knots and links in topology. Topics include quantum commutative and central invariants, braided categories, quotient theory of Hopf algebras, cosemisimple Hopf algebras, Kauffman's knot invariants, and algebraic aspects of linearly recursive sequences.
