Categorical Hopf kernels and representations of semisimple Hopf algebras

In the category of semisimple Hopf algebras the Hopf kernels introduced by Andruskiewitsch and Devoto in \cite{AD} coincide with kernels of representation as introduced in \cite{Bker}. Some new results concerning the normality of kernels are also presented. It is proven that the property for Hopf algebras to have all kernels normal Hopf subalgebras is a self dual property.Comment: 9 page
