Abstract
Given a finite dimensional Hopf algebra H, Drinfeld constructed a new Hopf algebra D(H) called Drinfeld double of H. In this thesis, we prove under the condition that H is a semi-simple Hopf algebra over a field of characteristic 0, D(D(H)) is isomorphic to D(H) ⊕ D(H) as an associative algebra.
