symmetric monoidal (∞,1)-category of spectra
The Drinfel’d double or quantum double construction is a construction that sends a Hopf algebra to a quasi-triangular Hopf algebra (Drinfeld 87). Or more generally, it sends a quasi-Hopf algebra to a quasi-triangulated quasi-Hopf algebra (Majid 94).
Geometrically, if the given Hopf algebra is the group algebra of a finite group , then the quantum double is the groupoid convolution algebra of the corresponding inertia groupoid . More generally, if the given quasi-Hopf algebra is the twisted groupoid convolution algebra of a group cohomology 3-cocycle , then the corresponding quantum double is the twisted groupoid convolution algebra of the inertia groupoid equipped with the transgressed 2-cocycle (Willerton 05)
Given a field , Drinfel’d (or Drinfeld or quantum) double of a finite dimensional Hopf -algebra is the tensor product algebra where with induced canonical Hopf algebra structure. It appears that the canonical element in (the image of the identity under the isomorphism ) is a universal -element in making it into a quasitriangular Hopf algebra, which is making it “almost commutative”.
This quasitriangular structure in some infinite-dimensional versions of the construction is related to the quasitriangular structure on some quantum groups.
The category of modules over a quantum double of a Hopf algebra is equivalent to the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules of -
For a Hopf algebra arising as the groupoid convolution algebra of a finite groupoid, the category of modules of its Drinfeld double is equivalently the Drinfeld center of the category of modules of the original algebra.
More generally, the analog of this statement holds for orbifolds (Hinich 05).

Essentially the same conclusion (with similar motivation and in terms of equivariant fibres of monoidal fibered categories with orbifolds encoded as internal groupoid objects in the base) was independently obtained by Zoran Škoda at MPI Bonn in 2004 (unpublished).
