In this paper, we show that under certain conditions the Wedderburn decomposition of a finite semisimple group algebra 𝔽_qG can be deduced from a subalgebra 𝔽_q(G/H) of factor group G/H of G, where H is a normal subgroup of G of prime order P. Here, we assume that q = p^r for some prime p and the center of each Wedderburn component of 𝔽_qG is the coefficient field 𝔽_q.

In continuation to the investigation initiated by Ferraz, Goodaire and Milies in [4], we provide an explicit description for the Wedderburn decomposition of finite semisimple group algebras of the class of finite groups G, such that $$G/Z(G){\simeq_-}C_2{\times}C_2$$, where Z(G) denotes the center of G.

In this paper, we decompose (under unitary similarity) the Kronecker sum A ⊞ A (= A ⊗ I + I ⊗ A) into a direct sum of irreducible matrices, when A is a 3×3 matrix. As a consequence we identify 𝒦(A⊞A) as the direct sum of several full matrix algebras as predicted by Artin-Wedderburn theorem, where 𝒦(T) is the unital algebra generated by Tand T^*.
