About Hopf braces and crossed products

Abstract: The present article represents a step forward in the study of the following problem: If $\mathbb{A}=(A_{1},A_{2})$ and $\mathbb{H}=(H_{1},H_{2})$ are Hopf braces in a symmetric monoidal category C such that $(A_{1},H_{1})$ and $(A_{2},H_{2})$ are matched pairs of Hopf algebras, then we want to know under what conditions the pair $(A_{1}\bowtie H_{1},A_{2}\bowtie H_{2})$ constitutes a new Hopf brace. We find such conditions for the pairs $(A_{1}\otimes H_{1},A_{2}\bowtie H_{2})$ and $(A_{1}\bowtie H_{1},A_{2}\sharp H_{2})$ to be Hopf braces, which are particular situations of the general problem described above, and we apply these results to study when the Drinfeld's Double gives rise to a Hopf brace.
