11.2 The Wedderburn-Artin Theorem

1. The img-modules are the (additive) abelian groups, so the simple ones are the simple abelian groups. These are the prime cycles img (in additive notation) where p is a prime. Hence the semisimple img-modules are the the direct sums of copies of these img for various primes p. The homogeneous semisimple img-modules are the direct sums of copies of img for a fixed prime p.
2. a. Since RR is complemented by Theorem 1, we have R = LM for some left ideal M. Write 1 = e + f where e img L and f img M. Hence ReL, and we claim this is equality. If x img L then xxe = xf LM = 0 because ...
