Abstract:
We give an algebraic version of a result of G. I. Kac, showing that a semisimple Hopf algebra of dimension , where is a prime and , over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 contains a non-trivial central group-like. As an application we prove that, if , is isomorphic to a group algebra.
