Abstract
In this paper we solve the problem of finding the length of group algebras of arbitrary finite abelian groups in the case when the characteristic of the ground field does not divide the order of the group. We show that these group algebras have maximal possible lengths for infinite fields and sufficiently large finite fields since they are one-generated. In case of small fields we prove that the length is bounded from above by a logarithmic function of the order of the group.
