SolvedLet $p$ be a prime number. What are necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite group $G$ in order that the group algebra of $G$ over a field of characteristic $p$ be indecomposable as a two-sided ideal? There exist some nontrivial examples, for instance, the group algebra of the Mathieu group $M_{24}$ is indecomposable when $p$ is 2.
Progress
A necessary and sufficient condition can be extracted from (G. R. Robinson, J. Algebra, 84 (1983), 493–502); another solution, which requires considering fewer subgroups, can be extracted from (B. Külshammer, Arch. Math. (Basel), 56 (1991), 313–319).
