Summary

We introduce the notion of factorizable quasi-Hopf algebra by using a categorical point of view. We show that the quantum double D(H) of any finite-dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra H is factorizable, and we characterize D(H) when H itself is factorizable. Finally, we prove that any finite-dimensional factorizable quasi-Hopf algebra is unimodular. In particular, we obtain that the quantum double D(H) is a unimodular quasi-Hopf algebra.
