An -module is a semisimple module when it is a direct sum of simple modules, equivalently when every submodule has a complementary submodule. The finite-dimensional algebra is a semisimple algebra when its left regular module is semisimple.
Let , put , and suppose . The freshman's dream givesso, with ,The indecomposable modules of a cyclic p-group in characteristic p are preciselyIndeed, a module is a vector space with a nilpotent operator , and its decomposition into Nilpotent Jordan blocks gives these modules. Each is a uniserial module, with unique chainTherefore
