contents We derive a residual-based $hp$-a posteriori error estimator for hybrid high-order (HHO) methods on simplicial meshes applied to the biharmonic problem posed on two- and three-dimensional polytopal Lipschitz domains. The a posteriori error estimator hinges on an error decomposition into conforming and nonconforming components. To bound the nonconforming error, we use a $C^1$-partition of unity constructed via Alfeld splittings, combined with local Helmholtz decompositions on vertex stars. For the conforming error, we design two residual-based estimators, each associated with a specific interpolation operator. In the first setting, the upper bound for the conforming error involves only the stabilization term and the data oscillation. In the second setting, the bound additionally incorporates bulk residuals, normal flux jumps, and tangential jumps. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical findings and demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed estimators.
