Every finite-dimensional -module is a finitely generated torsion module over the principal ideal domain . The structure theorem for finitely generated modules over a principal ideal domain giveswhere the are uniquely determined monic nonconstant polynomials. Equivalently, factoring over and using the Chinese remainder theorem givesThere are finitely many summands, and the multisets of positive integers are uniquely determined. Each displayed primary cyclic summand is an indecomposable module.
