In this paper periodic modules over group rings and algebras are considered. A new lower bound for the p-part of the rank of a periodic module with abeian vertex is given, and results on periodic modules with odd/even and small periods are obtained. In particular, it is shown that characters afforded by periodic lattices of odd period satisfy strong properties and that irreducible periodic lattices are always of even period.
