Monoidal Category Approach to Dual Hom-quasi-Hopf Algebras

摘要

In this paper, we categorify a Hom-associative algebra by imposing the Homassociative law up to some isomorphisms on the multiplication map and requiring that these isomorphisms satisfy the Pentagon axiom, and obtain a 2-Hom-associative algebra. On the other hand, we introduce the dual Hom-quasi-Hopf algebra and show that any dual Homquasi-Hopf algebras can be viewed as a 2-Hom-associative algebra.
