May 9, 2019 at 23:25 comment added Marco Farinati If G is a simple group of cardial grater than the cardinal of k, then k[G] it cannot have a finite dimensional represetation, just by cardinality reasons.

Aug 19, 2018 at 14:49 comment added Ben Wieland There is an easy example of a group with no finite dimensional representations: $A_\infty=\bigcup A_n=$ the set of (even) permutations of $\mathbb Z$ with finite support. A nontrivial representation must be nontrivial when restricted to sufficiently large $A_n$, but the necessary dimension grows with $n$. This group is not finitely generated, but if you throw in the shift, you get $\mathbb Z\ltimes A_\infty$, which is finitely generated and has all finite dimensional representations factor through $\mathbb Z$. Finite presentation is harder, the Higman group. See also Baumslag-Solitar

Aug 18, 2018 at 20:52 comment added Sam Hopkins So are there any infinite-dimensional algebras with a positive answer?

Aug 18, 2018 at 10:31 comment added darij grinberg Ah, yes: Lemma 2.7 in Robert J. Blattner, Miriam Cohen and Susan Montgomery, Crossed products and inner actions of Hopf algebras, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 298 (1986), pp. 671--711.
Aug 18, 2018 at 4:21 comment added zibadawa timmy There's a 1986 paper of Blattner, Cohen, and Montgomery that shows that if $K$ is an infinite field of cardinality greater than $k$ and $G=PSL_2(K)$, then the Hopf dual of $kG$ is one-dimensional. Montgomery's book even points out looking at an exercise in a 1980 (1977 for the original in Japanese) book by Abe for this.
