An algorithm to compute the Wedderburn decomposition of semisimple group algebras implemented in the GAP package \texttt{wedderga}. (Q1012140)

The authors present an algorithm to compute the Wedderburn decomposition of semisimple group algebras \(FG\) based on the computational approach of the Brauer-Witt theorem. The algorithm has been implemented in the GAP package Wedderga. The paper includes all the theoretical background. For this we refer also to [\textit{G. Olteanu}, Wedderburn decomposition of group algebras and applications. Cluj-Napoca: Editura Fundaţiei Pentru Studii Europene (2008; Zbl 1165.16001) and Math.
