Abstract
For a Galois extension with and , we determine the -module structure of . Although there are an infinite number of (pairwise non-isomorphic) indecomposable -modules, our decomposition includes at most indecomposable types. This paper marks the first time that the Galois module structure of power classes of a field has been fully determined when the modular representation theory allows for an infinite number of indecomposable types.
