Abstract

In this chapter we present three diverse applications of Hopf algebras. Our first application involves almost cocommutative bialgebras and quasitriangular bialgebras. We show that a quastitriangular bialgebra determines a solution to the Quantum Yang–Baxter Equation, and we give details on how to compute quastitriangular structures for certain two-dimensional bialgebras and Hopf algebras. We show that almost cocommutative Hopf algebras generalize Hopf algebras in which the coinverse has order 2. We then define the braid group on three strands (or more simply, the braid group) and show that a quasitriangular structure determines a representation of the braid group.
