Abstract
Let E be the elementary abelian group Cp×Cp, k a field of characteristic p, M a finite dimensional module over the group algebra k[E] and J the Jacobson radical J of k[E]. We prove that the decomposition of M when considered as a k[<1+x>]-module for a p-point x in J is well defined modulo Jp.
