Abstract: We prove that a finite-dimensional irreducible Hopf algebra $ H$ in positive characteristic is semisimple if and only if it is commutative and semisimple if and only if the restricted Lie algebra $ P(H)$ of the primitives is a torus. This generalizes Hochschild's theorem on restricted Lie algebras, and also generalizes Demazure and Gabriel's and Sweedler's results on group schemes in the special but essential situation with a finiteness assumption added.
