    A brief introduction to face algebras (English)
    0 references
    The paper is an introduction to the theory of face models and face algebras. Face models can be regarded as a generalization of the invertible solutions of the braid equation. A face algebra is an algebra equipped with a coalgebra structure, such that the two structures are compatible in some sense. Several equivalent definitions of face algebras are presented and some additional structures on face algebras are introduced: Hopf face algebras, coquasitriangular face algebras, coribbon Hopf face algebras. A generalization of the Tannaka-Krein duality is presented.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0955.00038].
