Abstract

In continuation of earlier work [7], we study in this paper the structure of cocommutative Hopf algebras of finite representation type. Since every such algebra is the group algebra H([Gscr ]) of a finite algebraic group [Gscr ], this problem has two interrelated aspects. On the one hand, one has to understand the structure of the group scheme [Gscr ], while on the other the Morita equivalence class of H([Gscr ]) has to be determined. Although we shall here be mainly concerned with the latter, structural information on the underlying group schemes enters crucially at several points.
