Abstract: Let $ p$ be an odd prime, $ G = Z_p^m$, the elementary abelian $ p$-group of rank $ m$, and let $ \Gamma$ be the group of principal units of the ring $ \mathbb{F}_p[x]/(x^{m+1})$. If $ L/K$ is a Galois extension with Galois group $ \Gamma$, then we show that for $ p \ge 5$, the number of Hopf Galois structures on $ L/K$ afforded by $ K$-Hopf algebras with associated group $ G$ is greater than $ p^s$, where $ s = \frac {(m-1)^2}3 - m$.
