1. Introduction
The Hall algebra of a finite dimensional algebra over a finite field was introduced by Ringel [9] in 1990. Ringel [8, 9] proved that if is a hereditary algebra of finite type, the twisted Hall algebra , called the Ringel–Hall algebra, is isomorphic to the positive part of the corresponding quantized enveloping algebra. In 1995, Green [3] generalized Ringel’s work to any hereditary algebra and showed that the composition subalgebra of generated by simple -modules gives a realization of the positive part of the quantized enveloping algebra associated with . Moreover, he introduced a bialgebra structure on via a significant formula called Green’s formula. In 1997, Xiao [13] provided the antipode on , and proved that the extended Ringel–Hall algebra is a Hopf algebra. Furthermore, he considered the Drinfeld double of the extended Ringel–Hall algebras, and obtained a realization of the full quantized enveloping algebra.
In order to give an intrinsic realization of the entire quantized enveloping algebra via Hall algebra approach, one tried to define the Hall algebra of a triangulated category (for example, [5], [12], [14]). Kapranov [5] considered the Heisenberg double of the extended Ringel–Hall algebras, and defined an associative algebra, called the lattice algebra, for the bounded derived category of a hereditary algebra . By using the fibre products of model categories, Toën [12] defined an associative algebra, called the derived Hall algebra, for a DG-enhanced triangulated category. Later on, Xiao and Xu [14] generalized the definition of the derived Hall algebra to any triangulated category with some homological finiteness conditions. In particular, the derived Hall algebra of the bounded derived category of a hereditary algebra can be defined, and it is proved in [12] that there exist certain Heisenberg double structures in .
Recently, for each hereditary algebra , Bridgeland [1] defined an associative algebra, called the Bridgeland Hall algebra, which is the Ringel–Hall algebra of -cyclic complexes over projective -modules with some localization and reduction. He proved that the quantized enveloping algebra associated to A can be embedded into its Bridgeland Hall algebra. This provides a beautiful realization of the full quantized enveloping algebra by Hall algebras. Afterwards, Yanagida [15] (see also [16]) showed that the Bridgeland Hall algebra of -cyclic complexes of a hereditary algebra is isomorphic to the Drinfeld double of its extended Ringel–Hall algebras. Inspired by the work of Bridgeland, Chen and Deng [2] introduced the Bridgeland Hall algebra of -cyclic complexes of a hereditary algebra for each nonnegative integer . If or , the algebra structure of has a characterization in [17], in particular, it is proved that there exist Heisenberg double structures in .
Kashaev [6] established a relation between the Drinfeld double and Heisenberg double of a Hopf algebra. Explicitly, he showed that the Drinfeld double is representable as a subalgebra in the tensor square of the Heisenberg double.
In this paper, let be a finitary hereditary abelian category. We first give a Hall algebra presentation of Kashaev’s Theorem on the relation between Drinfeld double and Heisenberg double. Then we apply this presentation to the Bridgeland Hall algebra and derived Hall algebra of .
Throughout the paper, all tensor products are assumed to be over the complex number field . Let be a fixed finite field with elements and set . Let be a finitary hereditary abelian -category.

For a finite set , we denote by its cardinality, and we also write for . For a positive integer , we denote the quotient ring by . By convention, .
2. Preliminaries
In this section, we recall the definitions of Ringel–Hall algebra, Heisenberg double, and Drinfeld double (cf. [10, 13, 5]).
2.1. Hall algebras
For objects , let be the number of the filtrations
[TABLE]

By definition, it is easy to see that for each ,
[TABLE]
For any , define
[TABLE]
It induces a bilinear form
[TABLE]
known as the Euler form. We also consider the symmetric Euler form
[TABLE]
defined by for all .
The twisted Hall algebra , called the Ringel–Hall algebra, is the same vector space as but with the twisted multiplication defined by
[TABLE]
We can form the extended Ringel–Hall algebra by adjoining symbols for all and imposing relations
[TABLE]
Green [3] introduced a (topological) bialgebra structure on by defining the comultiplication as follows:
[TABLE]
That is a homomorphism of algebras amounts to the following crucial formula.
Theorem 2.1**.**
(Green’s formula) Given , we have the following formula
[TABLE]
2.2. Heisenberg doubles
Let and be Hopf algebras, and let be a Hopf pairing. The Heisenberg double is defined to be the free product imposed by the following relations (with and ):
[TABLE]
where and elsewhere we use Sweedler’s notation .
There exists a so-called Green’s pairing defined by
[TABLE]
which is a Hopf pairing.
Now let us apply the construction of Heisenberg double to Ringel–Hall algebras. Let (resp. ) be the Ringel–Hall algebra with each rewritten as (resp. ). Thus, considering , and , we obtain the Heisenberg double Hall algebra, denoted by . By direct calculations, we give the characterization of via generators and generating relations (with and ) as follows (cf. [5]):
[TABLE]
where and elsewhere .
Similarly, one defines the dual Heisenberg double Hall algebra , which is given by the generators and generating relations (with and ) as follows:
[TABLE]
2.3. Drinfeld doubles

[TABLE]
Applying the construction of Drinfeld double to the Ringel–Hall algebras and , we obtain the Drinfeld double Hall algebra, denoted by , which is defined by the generators and generating relations (with , ) as follows:
[TABLE]
3. Kashaev’s theorem: Hall algebra presentation
In this section, we prove Kashaev’s theorem [6, Theorem 2] in the form of Ringel–Hall algebras. There are some similar constructions in [4], but they are not so natural.
Theorem 3.1**.**
There exists an embedding of algebras defined on generators by
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Proof..
In order to prove that is a homomorphism of algebras, it suffices to show that the relations from to are preserved under . We only prove the relations and , since the other relations can be easily proved.
For the first relation in ,

[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
For each fixed , noting that in , , for , we obtain that . Thus, by Green’s formula, we conclude that
[TABLE]
and thus
[TABLE]
Similarly, we can prove that the second relation in (2.14) is also preserved under .
Now, we come to prove that the relation in (2.18) is preserved under . First of all, substituting into (2.18), we rewrite (2.18) as follows:
[TABLE]
On the one hand,
[TABLE]
By (2.12),
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
On the other hand,
[TABLE]
By (2.7),
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Identifying in LHS with in RHS, respectively, we obtain that Noting that in RHS , we have that
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Hence, , and we have proved that is a homomorphism of algebras.
Since as a vector space, and the restriction of to the positive (negative) part is injective, we conclude that is injective. Therefore, we complete the proof. ∎
4. Applications
In this section, we apply Theorem 3.1 to Bridgeland Hall algebras of -cyclic complexes and derived Hall algebras.
4.1. Bridgeland Hall algebras
Assume that has enough projectives, the Bridgeland Hall algebra of -cyclic complexes of was introduced in [1]. Inspired by the work of Bridgeland, for each nonnegative integer , Chen and Deng [2] introduced the Bridgeland Hall algebra of -cyclic complexes. For or , we recall the algebra structure of by [17] as follows:
Proposition 4.1**.**

[TABLE]
Corollary 4.2**.**

By Proposition 4.1 the defining relations of and are preserved under and , respectively, we obtain that and are homomorphisms of algebras. According to [17, Proposition 2.7], we conclude that they are injective. ∎
As a first application of Theorem 3.1, we have the following

[TABLE]
The twisted derived Hall algebra is the same vector space as , but with the twisted multiplication. In order to relate the modified Ringel–Hall algebra, which is isomorphic to the corresponding Bridgeland Hall algebra if has enough projectives, to derived Hall algebra, Lin [7] introduced the completely extended twisted derived Hall algebra .
Definition 4.6**.**

[TABLE]
Remark 4.7**.**
In Definition 4.6, we have employed the linear Euler form, not the multiplicative Euler form used in [7]; and here are equal to and in [7], respectively.
Now we reformulate [7, Theorem 5.3,Corollary 5.5] as follows:
Theorem 4.8**.**
Assume that has enough projectives. Then there exists an isomorphism of algebras defined on generators (with ) by
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Remark 4.9**.**
The inverse of in Theorem 4.8 is the homomorphism defined on generators (with ) by

[TABLE]
* if , is defined on generators by*
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
* if , is defined on generators by*
[TABLE]
* if , is defined on generators by*
[TABLE]
