Write for a primitive idempotent . The coefficient-of-identity form makes a symmetric algebra. Associativity of this nondegenerate form identifies the orthogonal complement of in with the elements annihilated by , namely . It therefore induces a nondegenerate -invariant pairing betweenand . Both are simple by projectivity and part (a), and the symmetric form has identity Nakayama permutation. Consequently the head and socle of an indecomposable projective group-algebra module satisfy
