Authored summary

UNKNOWN as of 2026-07-27. The MathOverflow answers prove special cases and cite the conjecture as open. The checked survey and geometric-invariant-theory work do not supply a proof for all finite-dimensional semisimple Hopf algebras or a counterexample.

The record cites sources for its explanation.

2Authored explanation

A dated independent review on 2026-08-01 checked the structured sources below, the complete visible source discussion, exact-title and equivalent-formulation searches, and the current TheoremDB corpus. On 2026-07-27 all three MathOverflow answers and their comments were checked. They cover particular dimensions and structural classes without resolving the universal statement. Natale's survey, arXiv:1409.2545, lists Kaplansky's sixth conjecture among the central divisibility questions for semisimple Hopf algebras and records known special cases. Meir, arXiv:1506.00314, studies Kaplansky's conjectures through geometric invariant theory. The reformulation and degeneration results do not settle the displayed divisibility assertion. Group algebras satisfy the assertion by the classical degree-divisibility theorem for finite-group representations, and dual group algebras provide another elementary class. A search confined to these families cannot find a counterexample. Trap: the weaker statement that \(\dim V\le\dim H\), or divisibility for Frobenius-Perron dimensions in a restricted tensor category, does not settle the integer divisibility required here.

A complete resolution must satisfy: Prove that \(\dim_k V\mid\dim_k H\) for every triple \((k,H,V)\) satisfying the displayed hypotheses. Alternatively, give explicit Hopf structure maps for a finite-dimensional semisimple counterexample, identify a simple module \(V\), prove simplicity, and verify the failed divisibility.
