Does there exist a classification of finite-dimensional Frobenius algebras in low dimensional cases. This question is motivated by the following analogous question for Hopf algebras.

    $\begingroup$ There are absolutely loads of them. I recently wrote a paper with Sambale about which small dimensional ones can be Morita equivalent to blocks of group algebras of finite groups, if that's of any help to you. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 30, 2023 at 17:35
  • $\begingroup$ Since Frobenius algebras and Hopf algebras share a lot in common, why is that one of them (i.e. Hopg algebras) admit a classification in low dimensions but the other (Frobenius algebras) do not? $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 31, 2023 at 10:27

    $\begingroup$ Can I suggest, by way of frustrating exercise, that you try to classify eight dimensional basic Frobenius algebras with one simple module? I think you may soon see why the definition is so much "floppier" and easier to satisfy than that of Hopf algebras. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 31, 2023 at 15:09
