On abelian Hopf Galois structures and finite commutative nilpotent rings (Q2353153)

Let \(p\) be an odd prime and \(G\) be an elementary abelian \(p\)-group of rank \(n.\) The author wants to count the Hopf Galois structures of type \(G\) on Galois field extensions with Galois group \(G.\) This is done by counting the isomorphism types of commutative nilpotent \(\mathbb{F}_p\)-algebras \(N\) of dimension \(n,\) such that \(N^p=0.\) He is obtaining lower and upper bounds for algebras \(N\) of dimension \(n\) over \(\mathbb{F}_p\) with \(N^3=0.\) For \(n=3,4\) there are only finitely many isomorphism types and their number does not depend on \(p>3.\) For \(n>5\) he founds a lower bound, depending on \(p.\) The case \(n=5\) remains open.
