Pivotality, twisted centres, and the anti-double of a Hopf monad

Sebastian Halbig and Tony Zorman

Finite-dimensional Hopf algebras admit a correspondence between so-called pairs in involution, one-dimensional anti-Yetter-Drinfeld modules and algebra isomorphisms between the Drinfeld and anti-Drinfeld double. We extend it to general rigid monoidal categories and provide a monadic interpretation under the assumption that certain coends exist. Hereto we construct and study the anti-Drinfeld double of a Hopf monad. As an application the connection with the pivotality of Drinfeld centres and their underlying categories is discussed.

Keywords: Pivotal categories, module categories, centres, heaps, Hopf monads, comodule monads, anti-Drinfeld double
