# GAP package Wedderga
The title "Wedderga" stands for "Wedderburn decomposition of group algebras".
This is a GAP package to compute the simple components of the Wedderburn
decomposition of semisimple group algebras. So the main functions of the
package returns a list of simple algebras whose direct sum is isomorphic to
the group algebra given as input.
The methods implemented by the package produces the Wedderburn decomposition
of a group algebra FG provided G is a finite group and F is either a finite
field of characteristic coprime with the order of G, or an abelian number
field (i.e. a subfield of a finite cyclotomic extension of the rationals).
Other functions of Wedderga compute the primitive central idempotents of
semisimple group algebras and a complete set of orthogonal primitive
idempotents, and calculate Schur indices of simple algebras.
The package also provides functions to construct crossed products over a
group with coefficients in an associative ring with identity and the
multiplication determined by a given action and twisting.
Furthermore, the package provides functions to create code words from a group
ring element.
Wedderga does not use external binaries and, therefore, works without
restrictions on the type of the operating system. It is redistributed with
GAP, but is not loaded by default. Therefore, to use Wedderga, first you need
to load it using the following command:
gap> LoadPackage("wedderga");
