Kronecker :: decomposeModule

decomposeModule -- decompose a module into a direct sum of simple modules

Synopsis

Description

This function decomposes a module into a direct sum of simple modules, given some fairly strong assumptions on the ring which acts on the ring which acts on the module. This ring must only have two variables, and the square of each of those variables must kill the module.
