Abstract

In 1975, Kaplansky conjectured that a finite-dimensional semisimple Hopf algebra is necessarily involutory. Twelve years later, Larson and Radford proved the conjecture in characterisitic 0 and obtained significant partial results in positive characteristics. The goal of this paper is to offer an efficient proof of these results using rather minimal prerequisites, no "harpoons", and gratifyingly few "hits".
