By the Artin–Wedderburn theorem, a finite-dimensional complex simple algebra is , with a unique simple module up to isomorphism, namely the column module . Its left regular module is . The Schur lemma gives , so
The right action can be seen explicitly. For a row vector , the map is -linear, and all such maps are obtained this way, since the row space and both have dimension . Moreover . Any nonzero row generates the whole row space under right multiplication by matrices: if , suitable matrix units send it to each coordinate row. Thus is a simple right -module.
