Hom-entwining structures and Hom-Hopf-type modules

Abstract: The notions of Hom-coring, Hom-entwining structure and associated entwined Hom-module are introduced. A theorem regarding base ring extension of a Hom-coring is proven and then is used to acquire the Hom-version of Sweedler coring. Motivated by the work of T. Brzezinski, a Hom-coring associated to an entwining Hom-structure is constructed and an identification of entwined Hom-modules with Hom-comodules of this Hom-coring is shown. The dual algebra of this Hom-coring is proven to be a $\psi$-twisted convolution algebra. By a construction, it is shown that a Hom-Doi-Koppinen datum comes from a Hom-entwining structure and that the Doi-Koppinen Hom-Hopf modules are the same as the associated entwined Hom-modules. A similar construction regarding an alternative Hom-Doi-Koppinen datum is also given. A collection of Hom-Hopf-type modules are gathered as special examples of Hom-entwining structures and corresponding entwined Hom-modules, and structures of all relevant Hom-corings are also considered.
