Explicit idempotents of finite group algebras (1404.6009v1)

Abstract: Let $\mathbb F_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, $G$ a finite cyclic group of order $p^k$ and $p$ is an odd prime with ${\rm gcd}(q,p)=1$. In this article, we determine an explicit expression for the primitive idempotents of $\mathbb F_qG$. This result extends the result in Arora-Pruthi [1] and Sharma-Bakshi-Dumir-Raka [8].
