On the exponent of finite-dimensional non-cosemisimple Hopf algebras

摘要

In 1999, Kashina introduced the exponent of a Hopf algebra. In this article, we prove that the exponent of a finite-dimensional non-cosemisimple Hopf algebra with Chevalley property in characteristic 0 is infinite, and the exponent of a finite-dimensional non-cosemisimple pointed Hopf algebra in positive characteristic is finite.
