Abstract
We prove that over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from , the group algebra of the infinite dihedral group has exactly six conjugacy classes of involutions (equivalently, of idempotents). This allows us to recover the fact that admits exactly four non-isomorphic indecomposable projective modules of the form where is an idempotent, a result that was first established by Berman and Buz\'asi.
