Extract
We shall use the following notation:
R = Dedekind domain;
K = quotient field of R;
Rp = ring of p-adic integers in K, p being a prime ideal in R;
A = finite-dimensional separable k-algebra;
G – R-order in A (for the definition cf. (3)).
All modules that occur are assumed to be finitely generated unitary left modules, unless otherwise specified. By a G-lattice we mean a G-module which is torsion-free as R-module. A G-lattice is called irreducible if it does not contain a proper G-submodule of smaller R-rank. If p is a prime ideal in R we shall write Gp = Rp ⊗RG; Mp = RP⊗RM for a G-lattice M, and KM = K ⊗R M. Two G-lattices M and N are said to lie in the same genus (notation M ∨ N) if Mp ≌ Np for every prime ideal p in R.
For any A-module L, let S(L) be the collection of G-lattices M, for which KM ≌ L. Suppose that S(L) splits into rg(L) genera, and into ri(L) classes under G-isomorphism. Maranda (6) has shown: If L is an absolutely irreducible A-module, then
