Depth one extensions of semisimple algebras and Hopf subalgebras

Abstract

An extension of $k$-algebras $B\subset A$ is said to have depth one if there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $A$ is a direct summand of $B^n$ in $_B\mtr{Mod}_B$. Depth one extensions of semisimple algebras are completely characterized in terms of their centers. For extensions of semisimple Hopf algebras our results are similar to those obtained for finite group algebra extensions in \cite{BKone}.
