The purpose of this paper is to investigate finite-dimensional superbialgebras and Hopf superalgebras. We study connected superbialgebras and provide a classification of non-trivial superbialgebras and Hopf superalgebras in dimension n with n ≤ 4. Key words: superalgebra; superbialgebra; Hopf superalgebra; classification 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 16T10; 57T05; 17A70 Introduction Hopf superalgebras are a generalization of the supergroup notion. In physics, infinite-dimen- sional Hopf superalgebras based on Lie superalgebras turn out to be related to the integrable S-matrix of the AdS/CFT correspondence. For a large class of finite-dimensional Lie superalge- bras (including the classical simple ones) a Lie supergroup associated to the algebra is defined by fixing the Hopf superalgebra of functions on the supergroup [34]. This framework seems to be interesting for studying supermanifolds and supersymmetry. Majid showed that the theo- ry of Lie superalgebras and Hopf superalgebras can be reduced to the classical case using the bosonization by K[Z/2Z], where K is an algebraically closed field [24]. Recently some classes of Hopf superalgebras were investigated like for example pointed Hopf superalgebras and qu- asitriangular Hopf superalgebras [3, 4, 18], see also [13, 23]. So far very few is known about general classification of superbialgebras and Hopf superalgebras. Nevertheless, classification of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras is known for small dimensions and structure of many classes are deeply studied, see for example [2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 15, 16, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 36, 37, 38, 39]. For general theory of Hopf algebras, we refer to [1, 19, 21, 25, 30, 35], and for applications see for example [12, 20, 22, 27]. In this paper, we discuss properties of n-dimensional superbialgebras and provide a clas- sification of non-trivial superbialgebras in dimensions 2, 3 and 4. Moreover we derive a clas- sification of Hopf superalgebras for these dimensions. The paper is organized as follows. Section 1 reviews definitions and properties of superbial- gebras and Hopf superalgebras. Moreover, we provide an outline of the computations leading to classifications. In Section 2, we focus on trivial and connected superbialgebras. We characterize connected superbialgebras and classify connected 2-dimensional superbialgebras and Hopf su- peralgebras. Sections 3 and 4 deal respectively with classification of 3- and 4-dimensional superbialgebras and Hopf superalgebras. We emphasize on non-trivial superbialgebras, from mailto:aissaoui.said@yahoo.fr mailto:Abdenacer.Makhlouf@uha.fr http://www.algebre.fst.uha.fr/makhlouf/Makhlouf.html http://dx.doi.org/10.3842/SIGMA.2014.001 2 S. Aissaoui and A. Makhlouf which we derive the non-trivial Hopf superalgebras. To this end, we establish classification of 3-dimensional superalgebras and use the 4-dimensional classification due to Armour, Chen and Zhang [7]. Throughout this paper, we work over K, an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Unless otherwise specified, we will denote the multiplication by µ or ·, and the unit element by η(1) = e1 = e01 = 1. For simplicity, we will use just product (or multiplication), unit, counit and coproduct (or comultiplication) in the sense of even morphism (i.e. we will drop the suffix ‘super’). We also would like to mention that in the last section, most of the results are obtained by using the computer algebra system Mathematica. The program we have used is available. 1 Definitions of superbialgebras and Hopf superalgebras In this section, we summarize definitions and properties of superbialgebras and Hopf superalge- bras. For more details, we refer to [3, 18]. A superspace A is a K-vector space endowed with a Z/2Z-grading, in other words, it writes as a direct sum of two vector spaces A = A0⊕A1 such as A0 is the even part and A1 is the odd part. Elements of A0 (resp. A1) are called even homogeneous (resp. odd homogeneous). If a ∈ A0, we set |a| = deg(a) = 0 and if a ∈ A1, |a| = deg(a) = 1. Notice that some authors denote the dimension of A by i|j, such that i = n0 and j = n1, where n0 = dimA0 and n1 = dimA1. But in this paper we preserve this notation for the superalgebra obtained by the ith algebra. Notice that the following definitions could be described in a symmetric category of superspaces. Definition 1.1. A superalgebra is a triple (A,µ, η) where A is a superspace, µ : A ⊗ A → A (multiplication) and η : K→ A (unit) are two superspace morphisms satisfying µ ◦ (µ⊗ idA) = µ ◦ (idA⊗µ) (associativity), (1.1) µ ◦ η ⊗ idA = µ ◦ idA⊗η (unity). (1.2) A superalgebra A is called commutative if the multiplication satisfies µ ◦ τ = µ where τ is a superflip. In other words, for all homogeneous elements a, b ∈ A, µ(a⊗ b) = (−1)|a||b|µ(b⊗ a). Let (A,µA, ηA), (B,µB, ηB) be two superalgebras. A map f : A → B is a superalgebra morphism if it is a superspace morphism satisfying f ◦ µA = µB ◦ f ⊗ f and f ◦ ηA = ηB. (1.3) Definition 1.2. A supercoalgebra is a triple (C,∆, ε) where C is a superspace such that ∆ : C → C ⊗ C (comultiplication or coproduct) and ε : C → K (counit) are two superspace morphisms satisfying (∆⊗ idC) ◦∆ = (idC ⊗∆) ◦∆ (coassociativity), (1.4) (ε⊗ idC) ◦∆ = (idC ⊗ε) ◦∆ (counity). (1.5) We use the Sweedleer’s notation for the coproduct, we set for all x ∈ C ∆(x) = ∑ (x) x(1) ⊗ x(2), (id⊗∆) ◦∆(x) = (∆⊗ id) ◦∆(x) = ∑ (x) x(1) ⊗ x(2) ⊗ x(3). A supercoalgebra C is said to be cocommutative if the comultiplication satisfies ∆ = τ ◦∆, where τ is the superflip, that is ∀x ∈ C, ∆(x) = ∑ (x) x(1) ⊗ x(2) = ∑ (x) (−1)|x (1)||x(2)|x(2) ⊗ x(1). On Classification of Finite-Dimensional Superbialgebras and Hopf Superalgebras 3 Let (A,∆A, εA), (B,∆B, εB) be two supercoalgebras. The map f : (A,∆A, εA)→ (B,∆B, εB) is a supercoalgebra morphism if it is a superspace morphism and satisfies f ⊗ f ◦∆A = ∆B ◦ f and εB ◦ f = εA. (1.6) Now, we consider a superbialgebra structure which is obtained by combining superalgebras and supercoalgebras. Moreover, if a superbialgebra has an anti-superbialgebra morphism satis- fying some condition, it is called a Hopf superalgebra. Definition 1.3. A superbialgebra is a tuple (A,µ, η,∆, ε), where (A,µ, η) is a superalgebra and (A,∆, ε) is a supercoalgebra such that one of these two equivalent compatibility conditions hold: 1) ∆ : A→ A⊗A and ε : A→ K are superalgebra morphisms, 2) µ : A⊗A→ A and η : K→ A are supercoalgebra morphisms. In other words, ∆ (resp. ε) satisfies the following compatibility condition ∆ ◦ µ = (µ⊗ µ) ◦ (idA⊗τ ⊗ idA) ◦ (∆⊗∆), ∆ ◦ η = η ⊗ η (1.7) (resp. ε ◦ µ = µK ◦ (ε⊗ ε), ε ◦ η = idK), where µK is the multiplication of K. The last condition in (1.7) says that the unit 1 = e01 = η(1) of the superbialgebra is a group- like element ∆(1) = 1⊗ 1. Remark 1.4. Note that if (A = A0 ⊕ A1, µ, η,∆, ε) is a superbialgebra with η(1) = 1, a unit element, then we have ε(A1) = 0 and ε(1) = 1. Indeed, if ε : A −→ K is a superspace morphism and K is a superspace whose odd part is 0, then ε sends the odd part of A to odd part of K which is 0. For the second assertion, if A is a superbialgebra then ε is a superalgebra morphism and it sends the unit element of A to unit element of K. If A and B are two superbialgebras over K, we shall call a superspace morphism f : A→ B a superbialgebra morphism if it is both a superalgebra morphism and a supercoalgebra morphism. Definition 1.5. A Hopf superalgebra is a superbialgebra admitting an antipode, that is a su- perspace morphism S : A→ A which satisfies the following condition: µ ◦ (S ⊗ idA) ◦∆ = µ ◦ (idA⊗S) ◦∆ = η ◦ ε. (1.8) A Hopf superalgebra is given by a tuple H = (A,µ, η,∆, ε, S). Let (A,µ, η,∆, ε, S) be a Hopf superalgebra and S its antipode. Then we have the following properties: 1) S ◦ µ = µ ◦ τ ◦ (S ⊗ S); 2) S ◦ η = η; 3) ε ◦ S = ε; 4) τ ◦ (S ⊗ S) ◦∆ = ∆ ◦ S; 5) if A is commutative or cocommutative then S ◦ S = id where id : A −→ A is the identity morphism; 4 S. Aissaoui and A. Makhlouf 6) if the antipode S of the Hopf superalgebra A, with ∆ as comultiplication, is bijective then A is also a Hopf superalgebra, with the opposite comultiplication ∆ ′ = τ ◦ ∆ and the opposite antipode S ′ = S−1; 7) all finite-dimensional Hopf superalgebras possess bijective antipodes. Remark 1.6. Some superalgebras do not carry a superbialgebra structure. For example A = M2(K) is a superalgebra with matrix multiplication and such that the even part is A0 = Ke01 ⊕ K e02 and the odd part is A1 = K e11 ⊕ K e12, where e01 = ( 1 0 0 1 ) , e02 = ( 1 0 0 0 ) , e11 = ( 0 1 0 0 ) , e12 = ( 0 0 1 0 ) . Indeed, the compatibility condition between the counit ε and the product ε(µ(x⊗y)) = ε(x)ε(y) isn’t always satisfied, since in one hand we have ε(µ(e11 ⊗ e12)) = ε(e02) = 0, because ε(e12) = ε(e11) = 0, and in the other hand ε(µ(e12 ⊗ e11)) = ε(e01 − e02) = 0. Then ε(e02) = 1, which leads to a contradiction. In Sections 3 and 4, we aim to classify n-dimensional non-trivial superbialgebras (resp. Hopf superalgebras), for n = 3 and n = 4. An n-dimensional superbialgebra (resp. a Hopf superalge- bra) is identified to its structure constants with respect to a fixed basis. It turns out that the axioms of superbialgebra structure translate to a system of polynomial equations that define the algebraic variety of n-dimensional superbialgebras which is embedded into K2n3 0+6n0n2 1+n0−1. The classification requires to solve this algebraic system. The calculations are handled using a computer algebra system. We include in the following an outline of the computation. 1. We provide a list of non-trivial n-dimensional superalgebras: • For n = 2, the list is taken from [14, 17]. • For n = 3, the list is given in Propositions 3.2 and 3.3. • For n = 4, the list is taken from [6]. 2. Fix a superalgebra A and compute the supercoalgebra’s structure constants {Dk (i,s),(j,t)} and {ξ0i }, where ∆(eli) = 1∑ s=0 ns∑ j=1 nt∑ k=1 D (j,s)(k) (i,l) esj ⊗ etk with t = (l + s) mod [2] and ε(eli) =  ξ0i if l = 0 and i 6= 1, 0 if l = 1, 1 if l = 0 and i = 1 with respect to bases {e0i }i=1,...,n0 and {e1i }i=1,...,n1 of A0 and A1, respectively. Supercoal- gebra structures on A making it a superbialgebra are in one-to-one correspondence with solutions of the system corresponding to (1.4), (1.5), (1.7). 3. Obtained in (2) is a family {Ai}i∈I of superalgebras whose underlying superalgebra is A. We sort them into isomorphism classes. Two superbialgebras, given by their structure con- stants, are isomorphic if there exist matrices (T k(i,0), T k (i,1))i,k defining a superbialgebra mor- phism with respect to the basis, that is satisfying det(T k(i,0)) det(T k(i,1)) 6= 0 and (1.3)–(1.6). 4. For each representative of isomorphism classes, determine whether it admits an antipode or not. It follows from existence or not of structure constants λk(i,s), of a morphism S, S(esi ) = ns∑ k=1 λk(i,s)e s k, satisfying (1.8). On Classification of Finite-Dimensional Superbialgebras and Hopf Superalgebras 5 2 Trivial and connected superbialgebras We describe in this section some properties of connected superbialgebras, which are superbial- gebras with 1-dimensional even part and trivial superbialgebras, which are superbialgebras with trivial odd part. 2.1 Trivial superbialgebras We have the following obvious result. Proposition 2.1. Every finite-dimensional bialgebra (resp. Hopf algebra) is a superbialgebra (resp. Hopf superalgebra), whose odd part is reduced to {0}. This superbialgebra (resp. Hopf superalgebra) is called trivial superbialgebra (resp. trivial Hopf superalgebra). The algebraic classification of Hopf algebra were investigated by many authors. Hopf algebras of prime dimensions were classified in [39]. We refer to [37, 38] for the classification of finite- dimensional Hopf algebras up to dimension 11, see also [26]. Semisimple Hopf algebras of dimension 12 were given in [16] and complete classification of dimension 12 provided in [32]. See [8] for dimension 14 and [11] for dimension 20. The minimal dimension where the problem is unsolved is 24. For the classification of 2 and 3-dimensional bialgebras, we refer to [14]. They are based on Gabriel’s result of 2 and 3-dimensional algebras [17]. Classification of 4-dimensional superbialgebras will be given in a forthcoming paper. 2.2 Connected superbialgebras In the following we consider connected superbialgebras whose even part are isomorphic to K. The notions of a connected superalgebra, supercoalgebra and Hopf superalgebra are defined in the same way. Lemma 2.2. Let A = A0⊕A1 be an (n+1)-dimensional connected superspace. If (A,µ, η,∆, ε) is a superbialgebra with 1 = η(1), then we have 1) µ(x⊗ y) = µ(y ⊗ x) = 0, ∀x, y ∈ A1, 2) ∆(x) = 1⊗ x+ x⊗ 1, ∀x ∈ A1. Proof. Let (x1, x2, . . . , xn) be a basis of A1, and set µ(xi ⊗ xj) = αij1, ∆(xi) = n∑ k=1 (λk1xk ⊗ 1 + λ1k1⊗ xk), with αij , λ1j , λj1 ∈ K, ∀ i, j ∈ {1, . . . , n}. • The compatibility of the counit and the multiplication ε(µ(xi ⊗ xj)) = ε(xi)ε(xj) and the fact that ε(xi) = 0, ∀ i ∈ {1, . . . , n}, show that αij = 0, ∀ i, j ∈ {1, . . . , n}. Then we have µ(xi ⊗ xj) = µ(xj ⊗ xi) = 0, ∀ i, j ∈ {1, . . . , n}. • The compatibility of the counit and the following condition: (ε⊗ id)(∆(xi)) = (id⊗ε)(∆(xi)) = xi, ∀ i ∈ {1, . . . , n}, lead to (ε⊗ id)(∆(xi)) = n∑ k=1 (λk1ε(xk)⊗ 1 + λ1kε(1)⊗ xk) = n∑ k=1 λ1kxk = xi and (id⊗ε)(∆(xi)) = n∑ k=1 (λk1xk ⊗ ε(1) + λ1k1⊗ ε(xk)) = n∑ k=1 λk1xk = xi. Then λ1k = λk1 = 0, ∀ k ∈ {1, . . . , n} \ {i} and λ1i = λi1 = 1. So ∆(xi) = xi ⊗ 1 + 1⊗ xi, ∀ i ∈ {1, . . . , n}. � 6 S. Aissaoui and A. Makhlouf Notice that the first assertion of this lemma is just Proposition 2.11 in [6] for which the proof is different. Theorem 2.3. An n-dimensional connected superbialgebra exists only when n < 3. Proof. Let A = A0⊕A1 be a superalgebra with multiplication µ and unit 1. Assume A0 = K1, dimA1 = n− 1 and (x1, x2, . . . , xn−1) be a basis of A1. According to Lemma 2.2, ∆(xi) = 1⊗xi +xi⊗ 1. Compatibility condition leads in one hand to ∆(µ(xi ⊗ xj)) = 0, and in the other hand to µ⊗ µ ◦ τ(∆(xi)⊗∆(xj)) = µ⊗ µ ◦ τ((1⊗ xi + xi ⊗ 1)⊗ (1⊗ xj + xj ⊗ 1)) = µ⊗ µ ◦ τ(xi ⊗ 1⊗ xj ⊗ 1 + xi ⊗ 1⊗ 1⊗ xj + 1⊗ xi ⊗ xj ⊗ 1 + 1⊗ xi ⊗ 1⊗ xj) = xi ⊗ xj − xj ⊗ xi, ∀ i, j ∈ {1, . . . , n− 1}. Since xi ⊗ xj − xj ⊗ xi 6= 0, ∀ i 6= j, therefore, the compatibility condition is satisfied only if n = 2. � A 2-dimensional superbialgebra is either trivial or connected. For trivial 2-dimensional bial- gebras, we refer to [14]. In the following, we provide connected 2-dimensional superbialgebras and Hopf superalgebras classification. Let (A,µ, η,∆, ε) be a 2-dimensional connected superbialgebra. We set A0 = K, A1 = span{x} and η(1) = 1 its unit element. Proposition 2.4. Every 2-dimensional connected superbialgebra is isomorphic to 2-dimensional connected superbialgebra K[x]/(x2) with deg(x) = 1 and defined by ∆(x) = 1⊗ x+ x⊗ 1. Moreover, it carries a Hopf superalgebra structure with an antipode S defined by S(1) = 1 and S(x) = −x. Proof. The multiplication, the comultiplication and the counit are defined according to Lem- ma 2.2 and with this extra product, coproduct and counit x · x = α1, ∆(x) = β1⊗ x+ γx⊗ 1, where α, β, γ ∈ K. Solving the system corresponding to conditions (1.1), (1.2), with respect to structure constants α, β, γ, leads to the result. For the second assertion, we assume that the antipode S is defined as, S(1) = 1, S(x) = λx, with λ ∈ K. Applying the identity (1.8) to x, we obtain only one non trivial 2-dimensional Hopf superalgebra associated to connected 2- dimensional superbialgebra defined above. The antipode is defined as S(1) = 1, S(x) = −x. � Let f : A −→ A be a superalgebra homomorphism, this means that f is an even linear map, satisfying f(1) = 1 and f ◦ µ = µ ◦ f ⊗ f . Let us set f(x) = αx, where α ∈ K\{0}. A direct calculation shows that f ◦µ = µ ◦ f ⊗ f is satisfied for any α 6= 0. Therefore, the automorphism group of the 2-dimensional superbialgebra is the infinite group{( 1 0 0 α ) , with α ∈ K\{0} } . 3 Classif ication of 3-dimensional superbialgebras and Hopf superalgebras In dimension 3, there are three cases for n0 = dimA0. If n0 = 1, we have connected superbialge- bras which are covered by Proposition 2.3. If n0 = 3, we have trivial superbialgebras for which we refer to [14] for the classification of 3-dimensional bialgebras. It remains to study the case n0 = 2. On Classification of Finite-Dimensional Superbialgebras and Hopf Superalgebras 7 3.1 Superalgebras Let (A,µ, η,∆, ε) be a 3-dimensional superbialgebra such that A = A0 ⊕ A1 and dimA0 = 2. Let {1, x, y} be a basis of A, such that {1, x} generates the even part A0 and {y} generates the odd part A1. Assume that η(1) = 1. We recall here the classification of 2-dimensional algebras. Proposition 3.1 ([14, 17]). There are, up to isomorphism, two 2-dimensional algebras A1 = K[x]/(x2) and A2 = K[x]/(x2 − x). Since the even part of a superalgebra is an algebra, we fix the even part multiplication to be one of the two 2-dimensional algebras, recalled in Proposition 3.1. We denote by µi|j the jth multiplication obtained by extending the multiplication µi of a 2-dimensional algebra to the multiplication of a 3-dimensional superalgebra. We consider first the algebra A1. Proposition 3.2. Every non-trivial 3-dimensional superalgebra, where the even part is the 2-dimensional algebra A1 is isomorphic to one of the following pairwise nonisomorphic 3-di- mensional superalgebras A1|1 = K[x, y]/(x2, y2, xy) and A1|2 = K[x, y]/(x2, y2 − x, xy), where deg(x) = 0 and deg(y) = 1. Proof. We set x · y = αy, y · x = βy, y · y = γe01 + σx, with α, β, γ, σ ∈ K. We have x · (y · y) = γx, (x · y) · y = αγe01 + ασx, (y · y) · x = γx and y · (y · x) = βγe01 + βσx. According to associativity and by identification, we obtain αγ = 0, ασ = γ, βγ = 0, βσ = γ. Then γ = 0 and y · y = σx. Moreover, x · (x · y) = (x · x) · y = 0 and (y · x) · x = y · (x · x) = 0 lead to α = β = 0. Finally, it remains to fix σ. If σ = 0, we obtain the superalgebra defined by A1|1. If σ 6= 0, then we have the superalgebra which is given by the multiplication µσ defined as µσ(x⊗ x) = 0, µσ(y⊗ x) = 0, µσ(x⊗ y) = 0, µσ(y ⊗ y) = σx, σ 6= 0. It is isomorphic to A1|2 (σ = 1). � For the second algebra A2, we obtain three possible extensions as a 3-dimensional superalge- bra. Proposition 3.3. Every non-trivial 3-dimensional superalgebra where the even part is the 2-dimensional algebra A2, is isomorphic to one of the following pairwise nonisomorphic 3- dimensional superalgebras A2|1 = K[x, y]/(x2 − x, y2 − x, xy − y), A2|2 = K〈x, y〉/(x2 − x, y2, xy − y, yx) and A2|3 = K[x, y]/(x2 − x, y2, xy − y), where deg(x) = 0 and deg(y) = 1. Proof. By associativity conditions (x · x) · y = x · (x · y) and y · (x · x) = (y · x) · x, it follows that α and β may have only values 0 or 1. Similarly, conditions x · (y · y) = (x · y) · y and y · (y · x) = (y · y) · x lead to αγ = 0, ασ = γ + σ, βγ = 0, βσ = γ + σ. (3.1) We discuss the two cases γ = 0 and γ 6= 0. 1. If γ = 0, then the system (3.1) reduces to σ (α− 1) = 0 and σ (β − 1) = 0. So, we deduce two subcases: a) If σ 6= 0, then α = β = 1. We obtain superalgebras which are isomorphic to A2|1 (σ = 1). b) If σ = 0, we study two cases α = β and α 6= β, 8 S. Aissaoui and A. Makhlouf i) If α = β, that means (α, β) ∈ {(0, 0), (1, 1)}. Then, we obtain two superalgebras isomorphic to A2|3. ii) If α 6= β, that means (α, β) ∈ {(0, 1), (1, 0)}. Then, we obtain superalgebras which are isomorphic to A2|2. 2. If γ 6= 0. Then, the system (3.1) reduces to α = β = 0 and σ = −γ. So, we have superalgebras with multiplications µγ defined as µγ(x⊗ x) = x, µγ(y ⊗ x) = 0, µγ(x⊗ y) = 0, µγ(y ⊗ y) = γ (1− x) , which are isomorphic to the superalgebra A2|1. � 3.2 Superbialgebras and Hopf superalgebras Now, we construct superbialgebra structures associated to the five superalgebras found above. Proposition 3.4. There is no 3-dimensional superbialgebra, with dimA0 = 2, associated to superalgebras A1|1 and A1|2. Proof. Assume ∆(x) = α1⊗1 +β1⊗x+γx⊗1 +σx⊗x+ δy⊗y where α, β, γ, σ, δ ∈ K. Since we have x2 = 0, the compatibility condition ε(µ(x⊗ x)) = ε(x)ε(x), implies ε(x) = 0. In one hand, the condition (ε ⊗ id)(∆(x)) = (id⊗ε)(∆(x)) = x implies that α = 0 and β = γ = 1. In the other hand, the compatibility condition ∆ ◦ µ(x ⊗ x) = (µ ⊗ µ) ◦ (id⊗τ ⊗ id) ◦ (∆⊗∆)(x⊗ x) = 0, leads to βγ = 0. Therefore we have a contradiction. � In the sequel, we consider the superalgebra structures defined by µ2|1, µ2|2 and µ2|3. We denote by Aki|j the superbialgebra (A,µi|j , η,∆ k i|j , ε k i|j). We have Acop = (A,µ, η,∆′, ε) where ∆′ = ∆ ◦ τ and τ is the superflip. By direct calculation, we obtain the following pairwise non-isomorphic superbialgebras. For all of them we have ∆k i|j(1) = 1⊗ 1. For superalgebra A2|1, we have 1) A1 2|1 with ∆1 2|1(x) = 1⊗ x+ x⊗ 1− x⊗ x, ∆1 2|1(y) = y ⊗ 1 + 1⊗ y − y ⊗ x, ε12|1(x) = 0; 2) (A1 2|1) cop. For superalgebra A2|2, we have 1) A1 2|2 with ∆1 2|2(x) = 1⊗x+x⊗1−x⊗x, ∆1 2|2(y) = 1⊗y+y⊗1−y⊗x−x⊗y, ε12|2(x) = 0; 2) A2 2|2 with ∆2 2|2(x) = 1⊗ x+ x⊗ 1− x⊗ x+ y⊗ y, ∆2 2|2(y) = 1⊗ y+ y⊗ 1− y⊗ x− x⊗ y, ε22|2(x) = 0; 3) A3 2|2 with ∆3 2|2(x) = x⊗ x, ∆3 2|2(y) = y ⊗ x+ x⊗ y, ε32|2(x) = 1; 4) A4 2|2 with ∆4 2|2(x) = x⊗ x+ y ⊗ y, ∆4 2|2(y) = y ⊗ x+ x⊗ y, ε42|2(x) = 1. For superalgebra A2|3, we have 1) A1 2|3 with ∆1 2|3(x) = 1⊗x+x⊗1−x⊗x, ∆1 2|3(y) = 1⊗y+y⊗1−x⊗y−y⊗x, ε12|3(x) = 0; 2) A2 2|3 with ∆2 2|3(x) = 1⊗ x+ x⊗ 1− x⊗ x, ∆2 2|3(y) = 1⊗ y + y ⊗ 1− x⊗ y, ε22|3(x) = 0; 3) (A2 2|3) cop; 4) A4 2|3 with ∆4 2|3(x) = 1⊗ x+ x⊗ 1− x⊗ x, ∆4 2|3(y) = y ⊗ 1 + 1⊗ y, ε42|3(x) = 0; 5) A5 2|3 with ∆5 2|3(x) = x⊗ x, ∆5 2|3(y) = y ⊗ x+ x⊗ y, ε52|3(x) = 1. On Classification of Finite-Dimensional Superbialgebras and Hopf Superalgebras 9 Theorem 3.5. Every non-trivial 3-dimensional superbialgebra with dimA0 = 2 is isomorphic to one of the following 3-dimensional pairwise non-isomorphic superbialgebras, which are defined above, A1 2|1, ( A1 2|1 )cop , Ak2|2 (k = 1, . . . , 4), A1 2|3, A2 2|3, ( A2 2|3 )cop , A4 2|3, A5 2|3. Theorem 3.6. There is no non-trivial 3-dimensional Hopf superalgebra. Proof. We check that no one of the superbialgebras may carry a structure of Hopf superalgebra. Let S be an antipode of one of the 3-dimensional superbialgebras defined above. Assume that S(1) = 1, S(x) = λ11 + λ2x, S(y) = λ3y, and S satisfies the identity µ ◦ (S ⊗ id) ◦∆ = µ ◦ (id⊗S) ◦∆ = η ◦ ε. We apply the identity to x and study two cases. Case 1: ε(x) = 0. For all 3-dimensional superalgebras in this case, we have ∆(x) = 1⊗ x+ x⊗ 1− x⊗ x+ αy ⊗ y, such that α = 0 or 1. In one hand, we have, µ ◦ (S ⊗ idA) ◦∆(x) = µ ◦ (1⊗ x+ x⊗ 1− S(x)⊗ x+ αS(y)⊗ y) = x+ (λ1x+ λ2x)− λ1x− λ2x = λ11 + (1− λ1)x. In the other hand, we have η ◦ ε(x) = 0. Therefore, we have a contradiction. Case 2: ε(x) = 1. In this case, ∆(x) must have the form ∆(x) = x⊗ x+ αy ⊗ y, such that α = 0 or 1. Then, on one hand, we have, µ ◦ (S ⊗ idA) ◦∆(x) = µ ◦ (S(x)⊗ x+ αS(y)⊗ y) = (λ1 + λ2)x. On the other hand, we have η ◦ ε(x) = 1. So we have a contradiction. � 4 Classif ication of 4-dimensional superbialgebras and Hopf superalgebras Let A = A0 ⊕ A1 be a 4-dimensional superbialgebra. Then one has to consider four cases for n0 = dimA0. If n0 = 1, the superbialgebras are connected, then it is covered by Proposition 2.3. If n0 = 4, then they correspond to trivial superbialgebras. In the sequel, we discuss cases n0 = 2 and n0 = 3. 4.1 4-dimensional algebras In the following, we recall the classification of 4-dimensional algebras given by Gabriel in [17] and the classification of 4-dimensional superalgebras with n0 = 2 and n0 = 3 provided by Armour, Chen and Zhang in [7]. Theorem 4.1. The following algebras are pairwise non-isomorphic and every 4-dimensional algebras is isomorphic to one of these 19 algebras: 1) K×K×K×K, 2) K×K×K[x]/x2, 10 S. Aissaoui and A.

We recall the multiplication of all possible graduation obtained from a fixed algebra, we denote by µi|j the multiplication of each 4-dimensional superalgebra in the case dimA0 = 3. We preserve the notation used in [7], a superalgebra i|j means the jth superalgebra obtained by a fixed ith 4-dimensional algebra. Proposition 4.2 ([7]). Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, suppose that A is a 4-dimensional superalgebra with dimA0 = 3. Then A is isomorphic to one of the superalgebra in the following pairwise nonisomorphic families: 1|1: K×K×K×K, e01 = (1, 1, 1, 1), e02 = (1, 0, 0, 0), e03 = (0, 0, 1, 1), e11 = (0, 0, 1,−1); 2|1: K×K×K[x]/x2, e01 = (1, 1, 1), e02 = (1, 0, 0), e03 = (0, 1, 0), e11 = (0, 0, x); 2|2: K×K×K[x]/x2, e01 = (1, 1, 1), e02 = (1, 1, 0), e03 = (0, 0, x), e11 = (1,−1, 0); 3|1: K[x]/x2 ×K[y]/y2, e01 = (1, 1), e02 = (1, 0), e03 = (x, 0), e11 = (0, y); 4|1: K×K[x]/x3, e01 = (1, 1), e02 = (1, 0), e03 = (0, x2), e11 = (0, x); 6|1: K×K[x, y]/(x, y)2 : e01 = (1, 1), e02 = (1, 0), e03 = (0, x), e11 = (0, y); 7|1: K[x, y]/(x2, y2), e01 = 1, e02 = x+ y, e03 = xy, e11 = x− y; On Classification of Finite-Dimensional Superbialgebras and Hopf Superalgebras 11 8|1: K[x, y]/(x3, xy, y2), e01 = 1, e02 = x, e03 = x2, e11 = y; 8|2: K[x, y]/(x3, xy, y2), e01 = 1, e02 = x2, e03 = y, e11 = x; 9|1: K[x, y, z]/(x, y, z)2, e01 = 1, e02 = x, e03 = y, e11 = z; 11|1:   a 0 0 0 0 a 0 d c 0 b 0 0 0 0 b /a, b, c, d ∈ K , e01 =  1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 , e02 =  1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 , e03 =  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 , e11 =  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ; 13|1: K× ( K K 0 K ) = {( a, ( b c 0 d )) /a, b, c, d ∈ K } , e01 = ( 1, ( 1 0 0 1 )) , e02 = ( 0, ( 1 0 0 0 )) , e03 = ( 0, ( 0 0 0 1 )) , e11 = ( 0, ( 0 1 0 0 )) ; 14|1:  a 0 0 c a 0 d 0 b /a, b, c, d ∈ K , e01 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 , e02 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 , e03 = 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 , e11 = 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 ; 14|2:  a 0 0 c a 0 d 0 b /a, b, c, d ∈ K , e01 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 , e02 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 , e03 = 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 , e11 = 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 ; 15|1:  a c d 0 a 0 0 0 b /a, b, c, d ∈ K , e01 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 , e02 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 , e03 = 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 , e11 = 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ; 15|2:  a c d 0 a 0 0 0 b /a, b, c, d ∈ K , e01 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 , e02 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 , e03 = 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 , e11 = 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 ; 17|1:  a 0 0 0 a 0 c d b /a, b, c, d ∈ K , e01 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 , e02 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 , e03 = 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 , e11 = 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 . 12 S. Aissaoui and A. Makhlouf 4.3 Superbialgebras and Hopf superalgebras with dim(A0) = 3 We look for all possible superbialgebras which could be obtained from a fixed superalgebra. The computation are done using a computer algebra system. For the convenience of the presentation, we only summarize the results in the following proposition. The notations and details are collected in Appendix A.1. Proposition 4.3. Let (A, µ, η, ∆, ε) be a 4-dimensional superbialgebra with dimA0 = 3. Then A is isomorphic to one of the superbialgebra in the following pairwise nonisomorphic families: superalgebra associated superbialgebras 1|1 ( A,µ1|1, η,∆ k 1|1, ε k 1|1 ) , k = 1, . . . , 12 2|1 ( A,µ2|1, η,∆ k 2|1, ε k 2|1 ) , k = 1, . . . , 22 4|1 ( A,µ4|1, η,∆ k 4|1, ε k 4|1 ) , k = 1, 2, 3 6|1 ( A,µ6|1, η,∆ k 6|1, ε k 6|1 ) , k = 1, . . . , 18 13|1 ( A,µ13|1, η,∆ k 13|1, ε k 13|1 ) , k = 1, . . . , 21 14|1 ( A,µ14|1, η,∆ k 14|1, ε k 14|1 ) , k = 1, . . . , 9 14|2 ( A,µ14|2, η,∆ k 14|2, ε k 14|2 ) , k = 1, . . . , 4 15|1 ( A,µ15|1, η,∆ k 15|1, ε k 15|1 ) , k = 1, . . . , 9 15|2 ( A,µ15|2, η,∆ k 15|2, ε k 15|2 ) , k = 1, . . . , 4 17|1 ( A,µ17|1, η,∆ k 17|1, ε k 17|1 ) , k = 1, . . . , 11 Remark 4.4. There is no 4-dimensional superbialgebra with dimA0 = 3 and underlying mul- tiplications µ2|2, µ3|1, µ7|1, µ8|1, µ8|2, µ9|1, µ11|1. Now, we look for Hopf superalgebra structures. For a fixed superbialgebra defined above, we add the antipode’s property. It turns out that there exists only one non-trivial 4-dimensional Hopf superalgebra in the case dimA0 = 3. It corresponds to the algebra (1|1) and comulti- plication ∆2 1|1, where A = K × K × K × K. We set x = e01 − 2e02 − e03 = (−1, 1, 0, 0) and y = e11 = (0, 0, 1,−1) with deg(x) = 0, deg(y) = 1. It leads to basis {1, x, x2, y} and the algebra may be written as K[x, y]/(x2 + y2 − 1, xy) with deg(x) = 0 and deg(y) = 1. Proposition 4.5. Every non-trivial 4-dimensional Hopf superalgebra where dimA0 = 3 is iso- morphic to the 4-dimensional Hopf superalgebra K[x, y]/(x2 + y2 − 1, xy) with deg(x) = 0, deg(y) = 1 and such that ∆(x) = x⊗ x− αy ⊗ y, ε(x) = 1, S(x) = x, ∆(y) = x⊗ y + y ⊗ x, ε(y) = 0, S(y) = αy. where α is a primitive 4th root of unity. 4.4 Superalgebras with dim(A0) = 2 Let {e01, e02, e11, e12} be a basis of the underlying superspace A, such that {e01, e02} is a basis of the even part, {e11, e12} a basis of the odd part and e01 is the unit of the superalgebra. Proposition 4.6 ([7]). Let K be an algebraically closed f ield, suppose that A is a 4-dimensional superalgebra with dimA0 = 2. Then A is isomorphic to one of the superalgebra in the following pairwise non-isomorphic families: 1|2: K×K×K×K, e01 = (1, 1, 1, 1), e02 = (1, 1, 0, 0), e11 = (1,−1, 0, 0), e12 = (0, 0, 1,−1); On Classification of Finite-Dimensional Superbialgebras and Hopf Superalgebras 13 2|3: K×K×K[x]/x2, e01 = (1, 1, 1), e02 = (1, 1, 0), e11 = (1,−1, 0), e12 = (0, 0, x); 3|2: K[x]/x2 ×K[y]/y2, e01 = (1, 1), e02 = (1, 0), e11 = (x, 0), e12 = (0, y); 3|3: K[x]/x2 ×K[y]/y2, e01 = (1, 1), e02 = (x, y), e11 = (1,−1), e12 = (x,−y); 5|1: K[x]/x4, e01 = 1, e02 = x2, e11 = x, e12 = x3; 6|2: K×K[x, y]/(x, y)2, e01 = (1, 1), e02 = (1, 0), e11 = (0, x), e12 = (0, y); 7|2: K[x, y]/(x2, y2), e01 = 1, e02 = x, e11 = y, e12 = xy; 7|3: K[x, y]/(x2, y2), e01 = 1, e02 = xy, e11 = x, e12 = y; 8|3: K[x, y]/(x3, xy, y2), e01 = 1, e02 = x2, e11 = x, e12 = y; 9|2: K[x, y, z]/(x, y, z)2, e01 = 1, e02 = x, e11 = y, e12 = z; 10|1: M2 = ( K K K K ) = {( a b c d ) /a, b, c, d ∈ K } , e01 = ( 1 0 0 1 ) , e02 = ( 1 0 0 0 ) , e11 = ( 0 1 0 0 ) , e12 = ( 0 0 1 0 ) ; 11|2:   a 0 0 0 0 a 0 d c 0 b 0 0 0 0 b  /a, b, c, d ∈ K , e01 =  1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 , e02 =  1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 , e11 =  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 , e12 =  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ; 11|3:   a 0 0 0 0 a 0 d c 0 b 0 0 0 0 b  /a, b, c, d ∈ K , e01 =  1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 , e02 =  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 , e11 =  1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 −1 0 0 0 0 −1 , e12 =  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 −1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ; 12|1: ΛK2 = K〈x, y〉/(x2, y2, xy + yx), e01 = 1, e02 = x, e11 = y, e12 = xy; 12|2: ΛK2 = K〈x, y〉/(x2, y2, xy + yx), e01 = 1, e02 = xy, e11 = x, e12 = y; 14|3:  a 0 0 c a 0 d 0 b  /a, b, c, d ∈ K , e01 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 , e02 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 , e11 = 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 , e12 = 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 ; 15|3:  a c d 0 a 0 0 0 b  /a, b, c, d ∈ K , e01 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 , e02 = 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 , e11 = 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 , e12 = 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 ; 16|1: K〈x, y〉/(x2, y2, yx), e01 = 1, e02 = x, e11 = y, e12 = xy; 14 S.

Let (A, µ, η, ∆, ε) be a 4-dimensional superbialgebra with dimA0 = 2, then A is isomorphic to one of the superbialgebra in the following pairwise nonisomorphic families: superalgebra associated superbialgebras 2|3 ( A,µ2|3, η,∆ k 2|3, ε k 2|3 ) , k = 1, . . . , 4 3|2 ( A,µ3|2, η,∆ k 3|2, ε k 3|2 ) , k = 1, . . . , 9 6|2 ( A,µ6|2, η,∆ k 6|2, ε k 6|2 ) , k = 1, . . . , 11 11|2 ( A,µ11|2, η,∆ 1 11|2, ε 1 11|2 ) 12|2 ( A,µ12|2, η,∆ 1 12|2, ε 1 12|2 ) 14|3 ( A,µ14|3, η,∆ 1 14|3, ε 1 14|3 ) , k = 1, . . . , 7 15|3 ( A,µ15|3, η,∆ 1 15|3, ε 1 15|3 ) , k = 1, . . . , 7 17|2 ( A,µ17|2, η,∆ 1 17|2, ε 1 17|2 ) , k = 1, 2 It turns out that the only superbialgebras, with dimA0 = 2, which can have a non-trivial Hopf superalgebra structure are (3|2), (11|2) and (12|2). Proposition 4.9. Every non-trivial 4-dimensional Hopf superalgebra where dimA0 = 2 is iso- morphic to one of the following pairwise non-isomorphic Hopf superalgebras: 1) H1 = K〈x, y〉/(x2 − x, y2, yx) with deg(x) = 0, deg(y) = 1 and such that ∆(x) = 1⊗ x+ x⊗ 1− 2x⊗ x, ∆(y) = 1⊗ y + y ⊗ 1, ε(x) = ε(y) = 0, S(x) = x, S(y) = −y; On Classification of Finite-Dimensional Superbialgebras and Hopf Superalgebras 15 2) H2 = K〈x, y〉/(x2 − x, y2, xy − yx− y) with deg(x) = 0, deg(y) = 1 and such that ∆(x) = 1⊗ x+ x⊗ 1− 2x⊗ x, ∆(y) = 1⊗ y + y ⊗ 1− 2x⊗ xy − 2xy ⊗ x, ε(x) = ε(y) = 0, S(x) = x, S(y) = y; 3) H3 = K〈x, y〉/(x2, y2, xy + yx) with deg(x) = deg(y) = 1 and such that ∆(x) = 1⊗ x+ x⊗ 1, ∆(y) = 1⊗ y + y ⊗ 1, ε(x) = ε(y) = 0, S(x) = −x, S(y) = −y; 4) H4 = K〈x, y〉/(x2 − x, y2, yx) with deg(x) = 0, deg(y) = 1 and such that ∆(x) = 1⊗ x+ x⊗ 1− 2x⊗ x, ∆(y) = 1⊗ y + y ⊗ 1− 2x⊗ y, ε(x) = ε(y) = 0, S(x) = x, S(y) = 2xy − y, where K〈x, y〉 stands for noncommutative polynomials. Proof. The Hopf superalgebra H1 corresponds to A2 3|2 (see Appendix A.2) with x = e02, y = e11 + e12. The Hopf superalgebra H2 corresponds to A1 11|2 with x = e02, y = e11 − e12. The Hopf superalgebra H3 corresponds to A1 12|2 with x = e11, y = e12. The Hopf superalgebra H4 corresponds to A1 3|2 with x = e02, y = e11 + e12. � Therefore, gathering the results corresponding to the case dimA0 = 3 and dimA0 = 2 we obtain five 4-dimensional Hopf superalgebras. Theorem 4.10. Every non-trivial 4-dimensional Hopf superalgebra is isomorphic to one of the following Hopf superalgebras H1 ∼= K[Z/2Z]⊗ ΛK, H2 ∼= K[Z/2Z] oσ ΛK, H3 ∼= ΛK2, H4 = H∗2 and H5, where σ : Z/2Z→ GL(K) is the non-trivial action of Z/2Z on K, H∗2 is the dual of H2 and H5 is defined as K[x, y]/(x2 + y2 − 1, xy) (deg(x) = 0, deg(y) = 1) such that ∆(x) = x⊗ x− αy ⊗ y, ε(x) = 1, S(x) = x, ∆(y) = x⊗ y + y ⊗ x, ε(y) = 0, S(y) = αy. with α4 = 1. Proof. The first three Hopf superalgebras are cocommutative. We obtain the isomorphisms, thanks to Kostant’s theorem. However, since H4 is commutative, its dual is cocommutative, it turns out that we have H4 = H∗2. The Hopf superalgebra H5 corresponds to A1|1 (Proposi- tion 4.5), it is not cocommutative and is the only one whose even part is 3-dimensional. � In the following table, we collect the results obtained for 4-dimensional superbialgebras and Hopf superalgebras. Notice that algebras are those classified by Gabriel, see Theorem 4.1. The superalgebras (i|j) denote jth graduation of the ith algebra, obtained by Armour, Chen and Zhang, see Proposition 4.2 for the first case (dimA0 = 3) and Proposition 4.6 for the second case (dimA0 = 2). We quote below the number of corresponding superbialgebras and Hopf superalgebras. 16 S. Aissaoui and A.

We denote the comultiplication by ∆k i|j and the counit by εki|j , where i indicates the item of the 4-dimensional algebra listed in Theorem 4.1, and Ai|j denotes the superalgebra obtained from the ith algebra, see Proposition 4.2 for the first case (dimA0 = 3) On Classification of Finite-Dimensional Superbialgebras and Hopf Superalgebras 17 and Proposition 4.6 for the second case (dimA0 = 2). The exponent k indicates the item of the comultiplication and counit which combined with the multiplication of superalgebra Ai|j and the unit η provide a 4-dimensional superbialgebra. Recall that for all of them we have η(1) = 1 (unit element), ∆(1) = 1 ⊗ 1, ε(1) = 1 and ε(A1) = 0. In the sequel, we denote by Aki|j the superbialgebra (A,µi|j , η,∆ k i|j , ε k i|j). In order to simplify the superbialgebra in this appendix, we change the variables for superalgebras A1|1, A2|1, A3|2, A6|1, A13|1, A11|2, A12|2. For the superalgebras A1|1, A3|2, A11|2, A12|2 we change the variables as mentioned before Proposition 4.5 and in the proof of Proposition 4.9. For A2|1 and A13|1 we use x = e02 − e03, y = e11, and for A6|1 we use x = e02 + e03, y = e11. According to the multiplication of each superalgebra we obtain that A2|1 ∼= K[x, y]/(x3 − x, xy, y2), A6|1 ∼= K[x, y]/(x3 − x2, xy, y2), A13|1 ∼= K〈x, y〉/(x3−x, xy+yx, xy−y, y2). For the remaining superalgebras we change just the notation of basis vectors. For dim(A0) = 3, we consider the basis {1 = e01, x = e02, y = e03, z = e11} and for dim(A0) = 2 the basis {1 = e01, x = e02, y = e11, z = e12}.
