A novel property is that a cocommutative post-Hopf algebra gives rise to a generalized Grossman-Larsson product, which leads to a subadjacent Hopf algebra and can be used to construct solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Then we introduce the notion of relative Rota-Baxter operators on Hopf algebras. A cocommutative post-Hopf algebra gives rise to a relative Rota-Baxter operator on its subadjacent Hopf algebra. Conversely, a relative Rota-Baxter operator also induces a post-Hopf algebra. Then we show that relative Rota-Baxter operators give rise to matched pairs of Hopf algebras. Consequently, post-Hopf algebras and relative Rota-Baxter operators give solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation in certain cocommutative Hopf algebras. Finally we characterize relative Rota-Baxter operators on Hopf algebras using relative Rota-Baxter operators on the Lie algebra of primitive elements, graphs and module bialgebra structures.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-23T03:32:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "relative rota-baxter operator", "yang-baxter equation", "subadjacent hopf algebra", "cocommutative post-hopf algebra", "post-lie algebra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
