We study a functor from anti-Yetter Drinfeld modules to contramodules in the case of a Hopf algebra H. This functor is unpacked from the general machinery of [7]. Some byproducts of this investigation are the establishment of sufficient conditions for this functor to be an equivalence, verification that the center of the opposite category of H-comodules is equivalent to anti-Yetter Drinfeld modules in contrast to [5] where the question of H-modules was addressed, and the observation of two types of periodicities of the generalized Yetter-Drinfeld modules introduced in [4]. Finally, we give an example of a symmetric 2-contratrace on H-comodules that does not arise from an anti-Yetter Drinfeld module.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.
