Abstract

Let L/K L/K be a finite separable extension of fields whose Galois closure E/K E/K has group G G . Greither and Pareigis have used Galois descent to show that a Hopf algebra giving a Hopf-Galois structure on L/K L/K has the form E[N]G E[N]^{G} for some group N N such that N=[L:K] |N|=[L:K] . We formulate criteria for two such Hopf algebras to be isomorphic as Hopf algebras, and provide a variety of examples. In the case that the Hopf algebras in question are commutative, we also determine criteria for them to be isomorphic as K K -algebras. By applying our results, we complete a detailed analysis of the distinct Hopf algebras and K K -algebras that appear in the classification of Hopf-Galois structures on a cyclic extension of degree pn p^{n} , for p p an odd prime number.
