On the finite generation of the cohomology of abelian extensions of Hopf algebras

Abstract: A finite-dimensional Hopf algebra is called quasi-split if it is Morita equivalent to a split abelian extension of Hopf algebras. Combining results of Schauenburg and Negron, it is shown that every quasi-split finite-dimensional Hopf algebra satisfies the finite generation cohomology conjecture of Etingof and Ostrik. This is applied to a family of pointed Hopf algebras in odd characteristic introduced by Angiono, Heckenberger and the first author, proving that they satisfy the aforementioned conjecture.
