1. Introduction
Let𝑈(𝐹 𝐺)be the group of invertible elements of the group algebra𝐹 𝐺of a group 𝐺 over a field 𝐹. The study of units and their properties is one of the most challenging problems in the theory of group rings. Explicit calculations in 𝑈(𝐹 𝐺) are usually difficult, even when𝐺is fairly small and𝐹 is a finite field. The results obtained in this direction are also useful for the investigation of the Lie properties of group rings, the isomorphism problem and other open questions in this area, see [2].

For a normal subgroup 𝐻 of 𝐺, the natural homomorphism 𝐺 → 𝐺/𝐻 can be extended to an 𝐹-algebra homomorphism from 𝐹 𝐺 → 𝐹(𝐺/𝐻) defined by
∑︀
𝑔∈𝐺𝑎𝑔𝑔↦→∑︀
𝑔∈𝐺𝑎𝑔𝑔𝐻,𝑎𝑔∈𝐹. The kernel of this homomorphism, denoted by
∆(𝐺, 𝐻), is the ideal generated by {ℎ−1 : ℎ∈ 𝐻} in 𝐹 𝐺 and 𝐹 𝐺/∆(𝐺, 𝐻) ∼= 𝐹(𝐺/𝐻).
Let 𝐽(𝐹 𝐺) be the Jacobson radical of 𝐹 𝐺 and let 𝑉 = 1 +𝐽(𝐹 𝐺). The 𝐹- algebra 𝐹 𝐺/𝐽(𝐹 𝐺)is semisimple whenever 𝐺is a finite group. It is known from the Wedderburn structure theorem that
𝐹 𝐺/𝐽(𝐹 𝐺)∼=
⨁︁𝑟 𝑖=1
𝑀(𝑛𝑖, 𝐾𝑖)
where 𝑟 is the number of non-isomorphic irreducible 𝐹 𝐺 modules, 𝑛𝑖 ∈ N and 𝐾𝑖’s are finite dimensional division algebras over𝐹. In this context two results by Ferraz [3, Theorem 1.3 and Prop 1.2] (stated at the end of this section) are very useful in determining the Wedderburn decomposition of𝐹 𝐺/𝐽(𝐹 𝐺).
If𝐹 𝐺is semisimple, then𝐽(𝐹 𝐺) = 0and by [8, Prop 3.6.11], 𝐹 𝐺∼=𝐹(𝐺/𝐺′)⊕∆(𝐺, 𝐺′)
where 𝐹(𝐺/𝐺′) is the sum of all the commutative simple components of 𝐹 𝐺, whereas ∆(𝐺, 𝐺′) is the sum of all the non-commutative simple components of 𝐹 𝐺. We conclude that, if𝐹 𝐺is semisimple, then
𝐹 𝐺∼=𝐹(𝐺/𝐺′)⊕
⨁︁𝑙 𝑖=1
𝑀(𝑛𝑖, 𝐾𝑖).
Now, ifdim𝐹(𝑍(𝐹 𝐺)) =𝑟 and if the number of commutative simple components is𝑠, then𝑙≤𝑟−𝑠.
In what follows,𝐷𝑛 is the dihedral group of order𝑛,𝐶𝑛 is the cyclic group of order𝑛,𝐹𝑛is the direct sum of𝑛copies of𝐹,𝐹𝑛is the extension of𝐹 of degree𝑛, 𝑀(𝑛, 𝐹)is the algebra of all𝑛×𝑛matrices over𝐹,𝐺𝐿(𝑛, 𝐹)is the general linear group of degree𝑛over𝐹,𝑍(𝐹 𝐺)is the center of𝐹 𝐺,[𝑔]is the conjugacy class of 𝑔∈𝐺and𝑇𝑝 is the set of all𝑝-elements of𝐺including1.
Let𝐹 be a field of characteristic𝑝 >0 and let𝐺be a finite group. An element 𝑔∈𝐺is𝑝-regular, if𝑝∤𝑜(𝑔). Let𝑡be the l.c.m. of the orders of𝑝-regular elements of𝐺and let𝜔 be a primitive𝑡-th root of unity over the field𝐹. Then
𝐴={𝑟|𝜔→𝜔𝑟is an automorphism of𝐹(𝜔)over𝐹}.
Let𝛾𝑔 be the sum of all conjugates of𝑔∈𝐺. If𝑔 is a𝑝-regular element, then the cyclotomic𝐹-class of𝛾𝑔 is
𝑆𝐹(𝛾𝑔) ={𝛾𝑔𝑟 |𝑟∈𝐴}.
Many authors [1, 4, 5, 7, 9–12] have studied the structure of𝑈(𝐹 𝐺)for a finite group 𝐺 and for a finite field 𝐹. The structure of 𝑈(𝐹(𝐶3×𝐷10)) for 𝑝= 3 is
given in [10]. In this article, we provide an explicit description for the Wedderburn decomposition of 𝐹 𝐺/𝐽(𝐹 𝐺), 𝐺=𝐶3×𝐷10 and 𝐹 a finite field of characteristic 𝑝̸= 3, using the theory developed by Ferraz [3] and with the help of this description we obtain the structure of𝑈(𝐹(𝐶3×𝐷10)).
Lemma 1.1([3, Proposition 1.2]). Let𝐾be a field and let𝐺be a finite group. The number of simple components of 𝐾𝐺/𝐽(𝐾𝐺)is equal to the number of cyclotomic 𝐾-classes in 𝐺.
Lemma 1.2([3, Theorem 1.3]). Let 𝐾 be a field and let𝐺be a finite group. Sup- pose that𝐺𝑎𝑙(𝐾(𝜔)/𝐾)is cyclic. Let𝑠be the number of cyclotomic𝐾-classes in𝐺.
If 𝑅1, 𝑅2, . . . , 𝑅𝑠 are the simple components of 𝑍(𝐾𝐺/𝐽(𝐾𝐺))and𝑃1, 𝑃2, . . . , 𝑃𝑠
are the cyclotomic 𝐾-classes of 𝐺, then with a suitable re-ordering of indices,
|𝑃𝑖|= [𝑅𝑖:𝐾].
2. Structure of 𝑈 (𝐹 (𝐶

Theorem 2.1. Let𝐹 be a finite field of characteristic𝑝with|𝐹|=𝑞=𝑝𝑛 and let 𝐺=𝐶3×𝐷10.

𝑈(𝐹 𝐺)∼=𝑉 ⋊

𝐶52𝑛−1×𝐶522𝑛−1, if𝑞≡ −1 mod6.
where𝑉 ∼= (𝐶515𝑛⋊𝐶56𝑛)⋊𝐶53𝑛 and𝑍(𝑉)∼=𝐶59𝑛. 3. If𝑝 >5, then𝑈(𝐹 𝐺)∼=

Proof. Let 𝐺 = ⟨𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 | 𝑥2 = 𝑦5 = 𝑧3 = 1, 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑦4𝑥, 𝑥𝑧 = 𝑧𝑥, 𝑦𝑧 = 𝑧𝑦⟩. The conjugacy classes in𝐺are:
[𝑧𝑖] ={𝑧𝑖}for𝑖= 0,1,2;
[𝑦𝑧𝑖] ={𝑦±1𝑧𝑖}for𝑖= 0,1,2;
[𝑦2𝑧𝑖] ={𝑦±2𝑧𝑖}for𝑖= 0,1,2;
[𝑥𝑧𝑖] ={𝑥𝑧𝑖, 𝑥𝑦±1𝑧𝑖, 𝑥𝑦±2𝑧𝑖}for𝑖= 0,1,2.
1. 𝑝= 2. Clearly,𝑇̂︁2= 1 +𝑥𝑦̂︀. Let𝛼=∑︀1
𝑘=0
∑︀2 𝑗=0
∑︀5(𝑗+3𝑘)+4
𝑖=5(𝑗+3𝑘)𝑎𝑖𝑥𝑘𝑦𝑖−5(𝑗+3𝑘)𝑧𝑗. If𝛼̂︁𝑇2= 0, then we have
𝛼+
∑︁1 𝑘=0
∑︁2 𝑗=0
5(𝑗+3𝑘)+4
∑︁
𝑖=5(𝑗+3𝑘)
𝑎𝑖𝑥𝑘+1̂︀𝑦𝑧𝑗 = 0.
For𝑘= 0,1,2and𝑖= 0,1,2,3,4 this yields the following equations:
𝑎5𝑘+𝑖+
∑︁4 𝑗=0
𝑎5𝑘+𝑗+15= 0,
𝑎5𝑘+15+𝑖+
∑︁4 𝑗=0
𝑎5𝑘+𝑗 = 0.
After simplification we get, 𝑎5𝑘 = 𝑎5𝑘+𝑖 = 𝑎5𝑘+𝑖+15 for 𝑖 = 0,1,2,3,4 and 𝑘= 0,1,2. Hence
Ann(̂︁𝑇2) = {︂∑︁2
𝑖=0
𝛽𝑖(1 +𝑥)𝑦𝑧̂︀ 𝑖|𝛽𝑖 ∈𝐹 }︂
.
Since 𝑧,𝑦̂︀ ∈ 𝑍(𝐹 𝐺), Ann2(̂︁𝑇2) = 0 and Ann(̂︁𝑇2) ⊆ 𝐽(𝐹 𝐺). Thus by [12, Lemma 2.2],𝐽(𝐹 𝐺) = Ann(𝑇̂︁2)anddim𝐹(𝐽(𝐹 𝐺)) = 3. Hence𝑉 ∼=𝐶23𝑛 and by [6, Lemma 2.1],
𝑈(𝐹 𝐺)∼=𝐶23𝑛⋊𝑈(𝐹 𝐺/𝐽(𝐹 𝐺)).
Now it only remains to find the Wedderburn decomposition of𝐹 𝐺/𝐽(𝐹 𝐺).
As [1], [𝑦], [𝑦2], [𝑧], [𝑧2], [𝑦𝑧], [𝑦𝑧2], [𝑦2𝑧], and [𝑦2𝑧2] are the2-regular con- jugacy classes of𝐺, 𝑡= 15 anddim𝐹(𝐹 𝐺/𝐽(𝐹 𝐺)) = 27. Now the following cases occur:
(a) If𝑞 ≡1,4 mod15, then |𝑆𝐹(𝛾𝑔)|= 1 for 𝑔 = 1, 𝑦, 𝑦2, 𝑧, 𝑧2, 𝑦𝑧, 𝑦𝑧2, 𝑦2𝑧,𝑦2𝑧2. Consquently, [3, Theorem 1.3], yields nine components in the decomposition of𝐹 𝐺/𝐽(𝐹 𝐺). In view of the dimension requirements, the only possibility is:
𝐹 𝐺/𝐽(𝐹 𝐺)∼=𝐹3⊕𝑀(2, 𝐹)6.
(b) If 𝑞≡2,−7mod 15, then|𝑆𝐹(𝛾𝑔)|= 1for 𝑔= 1 and|𝑆𝐹(𝛾𝑔)|= 2 for 𝑔=𝑦,𝑧,𝑦𝑧, 𝑦𝑧2. So, due to the dimension restrictions, we have
𝐹 𝐺/𝐽(𝐹 𝐺)∼=𝐹⊕𝐹2⊕𝑀(2, 𝐹2)3.
2. 𝑝 = 5. If 𝐾 = ⟨𝑦⟩, then 𝐺/𝐾 ∼= 𝐻 ∼= ⟨𝑥, 𝑧⟩ ∼= 𝐶6. Thus from the ring epimorphism𝜂:𝐹 𝐺→𝐹 𝐻, given by
𝜂 (︂∑︁2
𝑗=0
∑︁4 𝑖=0
𝑦𝑖𝑧𝑗(𝑎𝑖+5𝑗+𝑎𝑖+5𝑗+15𝑥) )︂
=
∑︁2 𝑗=0
∑︁4 𝑖=0
𝑧𝑗(𝑎𝑖+5𝑗+𝑎𝑖+5𝑗+15𝑥),
we get a group epimorphism𝜑:𝑈(𝐹 𝐺)→𝑈(𝐹 𝐻)andker𝜑∼= 1 +𝐽(𝐹 𝐺) = 𝑉. Further, we have the inclusion map𝑖:𝑈(𝐹 𝐻)→𝑈(𝐹 𝐺)such that𝜑𝑖= 1𝑈(𝐹 𝐻). Thus𝑈(𝐹 𝐺)∼=𝑉 ⋊𝑈(𝐹 𝐶6).
The structure of𝑈(𝐹 𝐶6)is given in [11, Theorem 4.1].
If𝑣=∑︀2 𝑗=0
∑︀4
𝑖=0𝑦𝑖𝑧𝑗(𝑎𝑖+5𝑗+𝑎𝑖+5𝑗+15𝑥)∈𝑈(𝐹 𝐺), then 𝑣∈𝑉 if and only if∑︀4
𝑖=0𝑎𝑖= 1and∑︀4
𝑖=0𝑎𝑖+5𝑘= 0 for𝑘= 1,2,3,4,5. Hence 𝑉 =
{︂
1 +
∑︁2 𝑗=0
∑︁4 𝑖=1
(𝑦𝑖−1)𝑧𝑗(𝑏𝑖+4𝑗+𝑏𝑖+4𝑗+12𝑥)|𝑏𝑖∈𝐹 }︂
and|𝑉|= 524𝑛. Since,𝐽(𝐹 𝐺)5= 0,𝑉5= 1.
Now we show that 𝑉 ∼= (𝐶515𝑛⋊𝐶56𝑛)⋊𝐶53𝑛. The proof is split into the following steps:
Step 1: Let𝑅={1 +𝑎𝑦(1−𝑦)3𝑥|𝑎∈𝐹} ⊆𝑉. Then𝑅∼=𝐶5𝑛. If
𝑟1= 1 +𝑎𝑦(1−𝑦)3𝑥∈𝑅 and
𝑟2= 1 +𝑏𝑦(1−𝑦)3𝑥∈𝑅 where𝑎, 𝑏∈𝐹, then
𝑟1𝑟2= 1 + (𝑎+𝑏)𝑦(1−𝑦)3𝑥∈𝑅.
Therefore,𝑅is an abelian subgroup of𝑉 of order5𝑛. Hence𝑅∼=𝐶5𝑛. Step 2: |𝐶𝑉(𝑅)|= 521𝑛, where𝐶𝑉(𝑅) ={𝑣∈𝑉 |𝑟𝑣=𝑟for all𝑟∈𝑅}.
Let
𝑟= 1 +𝑎𝑦(1−𝑦)3𝑥∈𝑅 and
𝑣= 1 +
∑︁2 𝑗=0
∑︁4 𝑖=1
(𝑦𝑖−1)𝑧𝑗(𝑏𝑖+4𝑗+𝑏𝑖+4𝑗+12𝑥)∈𝑉 where 𝑎, 𝑏𝑖 ∈ 𝐹. Then 𝑣 = 1 +𝑣1+𝑣2𝑥, 𝑣1 = ∑︀2
𝑗=0
∑︀4
𝑖=1𝑏𝑖+4𝑗(𝑦𝑖−1)𝑧𝑗 and𝑣2=∑︀2
𝑗=0
∑︀4
𝑖=1𝑏𝑖+4𝑗+12(𝑦𝑖−1)𝑧𝑗. So𝑣−1=𝑣4= 1 + 4𝑣1+ 4𝑣2𝑥mod (𝑦−1)2𝐹 𝐺. Thus
𝑟𝑣= 1 +𝑣−1𝑎𝑦(1−𝑦)3𝑥𝑣=𝑟+ 2𝑎𝑦̂︀
∑︁2 𝑗=0
∑︁4 𝑖=1
𝑖𝑏𝑖+4𝑗𝑧𝑗𝑥.
Thus𝑟𝑣=𝑟if and only if∑︀4
𝑖=1𝑖𝑏𝑖+4𝑗= 0for𝑗= 0,1,2. Hence
𝐶𝑉(𝑅) = {︂

∑︁2 𝑗=0
∑︁3 𝑖=1
[(𝑦𝑖−1) +𝑖(𝑦4−1)]𝑐𝑖+3𝑗𝑧𝑗

∑︁2 𝑗=0
∑︁4 𝑖=1
(𝑦𝑖−1)𝑐𝑖+4𝑗+9𝑧𝑗𝑥|𝑐𝑖 ∈𝐹 }︂
and|𝐶𝑉(𝑅)|= 521𝑛.
Step 3: 𝐶𝑉(𝑅)∼=𝐶515𝑛⋊𝐶56𝑛. Consider the sets
𝑆 ={1 +𝑦3(𝑦−1)2[𝑦𝑏1+𝑦(𝑦+ 2)𝑏2+𝑏3+ (𝑦𝑏4+ (𝑦+ 1)2𝑏5)𝑥]} and
𝑇 ={1 +𝑦3(𝑦−1)[(𝑦−1)(𝑦𝑐1+ (𝑦+ 1)2𝑐2) + (𝑦𝑐3+ (𝑦2+𝑦+ 1)𝑐4)𝑥]} where 𝑏1+𝑗 =∑︀2
𝑖=0𝑝𝑖+3𝑗𝑧𝑖 for 𝑗 = 0,1,2,3,4 and 𝑐1+𝑗 =∑︀2
𝑖=0𝑞𝑖+3𝑗𝑧𝑖 for 𝑗 = 0,1,2,3. With some computation it can be shown that 𝑆 and 𝑇 are abelian subgroups of𝐶𝑉(𝑅). So𝑆∼=𝐶515𝑛 and𝑇 ∼=𝐶512𝑛.
Now, let
𝑠= 1 +𝑦3(𝑦−1)2[𝑦𝑏1+𝑦(𝑦+ 2)𝑏2+𝑏3+ (𝑦𝑏4+ (𝑦+ 1)2𝑏5)𝑥]∈𝑆
and
𝑡= 1 +𝑦3(𝑦−1)[(𝑦−1)(𝑦𝑐1+ (𝑦+ 1)2𝑐2) + (𝑦𝑐3+ (𝑦2+𝑦+ 1)𝑐4)𝑥]∈𝑇.
Then
𝑠𝑡= 1 +𝑦3(𝑦−1)2{𝑦𝑏1+𝑦(𝑦+ 2)𝑏2+𝑏3+𝑘1𝑦3(1−𝑦) + [𝑦𝑏4+ (𝑦+ 1)2𝑏5+ (𝑦−1)2(𝑘2+𝑘3)]𝑥} ∈𝑆 where
𝑘1= (𝑐4+ 2𝑐3)(𝑏4−𝑏5), 𝑘2= (𝑐4+ 2𝑐3)(𝑏2−𝑏3) 𝑘3= 2(𝑐24−𝑐3𝑐4−𝑐23)(𝑏4−𝑏5).
Let
𝑈 =𝑆∩𝑇 ={1 +𝑦3(𝑦−1)2[𝑦𝑐1+ (𝑦+ 1)2𝑐2]} where𝑐1+𝑗 =∑︀2
𝑖=0𝑞𝑖+3𝑗𝑧𝑖for𝑗= 0,1. Thus𝑈 ∼=𝐶56𝑛. So for some subgroup 𝑊 ∼= 𝐶56𝑛 of 𝑇, 𝑇 = 𝑈 ×𝑊 and 𝑊 ∩𝑆 = 1. Hence 𝐶𝑉(𝑅) ∼= 𝑆⋊𝑊 ∼= 𝐶515𝑛⋊𝐶56𝑛.
Step 4: Let𝑀={1 +∑︀2
𝑗=0𝑟𝑗𝑧𝑗𝑦(𝑦+ 1)2(1−𝑦)(1 +𝑥)|𝑟𝑖∈𝐹} ⊆𝑉. Then 𝑀∼=𝐶53𝑛.
Let
𝑚1= 1 +
∑︁2 𝑗=0
𝑟𝑗𝑧𝑗𝑦(𝑦+ 1)2(1−𝑦)(1 +𝑥)∈𝑀
and
𝑚2= 1 +
∑︁2 𝑗=0
𝑠𝑗𝑧𝑗𝑦(𝑦+ 1)2(1−𝑦)(1 +𝑥)∈𝑀 where𝑟𝑗, 𝑠𝑗∈𝐹. Then
𝑚1𝑚2= 1 +
∑︁2 𝑗=0
(𝑟𝑗+𝑠𝑗)𝑧𝑗𝑦(𝑦+ 1)2(1−𝑦)(1 +𝑥)∈𝑀.
Therefore,𝑀 is an abelian subgroup of𝑉 of order53𝑛. Hence, 𝑀∼=𝐶53𝑛. Step 5: 𝑉 ∼=𝐶𝑉(𝑅)⋊𝑀.
Let
𝑎= 1 +

Clearly,𝐶𝑉(𝑅)∩𝑀 = 1. Therefore,𝑉 =𝐶𝑉(𝑅)⋊𝑀. In the sequel, we show that𝑍(𝑉)∼=𝐶59𝑛.
If𝑣= 1 +∑︀2 𝑗=0
∑︀4
𝑖=1(𝑦𝑖−1)𝑧𝑗(𝑏𝑖+4𝑗+𝑏𝑖+4𝑗+12𝑥)∈𝐶𝑉(𝑦) ={𝑣∈𝑉 |𝑣𝑦= 𝑦𝑣}, then
𝑣𝑦−𝑦𝑣=
∑︁4 𝑖=1
∑︁2 𝑗=0
𝑦(1−𝑦𝑖)(𝑦3−1)𝑏𝑖+4𝑗+12𝑧𝑗𝑥.
Thus 𝑣 ∈ 𝐶𝑉(𝑦) if and only if 𝑏𝑖 = 𝑏𝑖+𝑗 for 𝑗 = 1,2,3 and 𝑖 = 13,17,21.
Hence
𝐶𝑉(𝑦) = {︂

Since𝑍(𝑉)⊆𝐶𝑉(𝑦),
𝑍(𝑉) ={𝑠∈𝐶𝑉(𝑦)|𝑠𝑣=𝑣𝑠for all𝑣∈𝑉}.
Let 𝑢= 1 +∑︀2 𝑗=0

∑︁4 𝑖=1
∑︁2 𝑗=0

3. If𝑝 >5, then𝐽(𝐹 𝐺) = 0. Thus𝐹 𝐺is semisimple and𝑡= 30. As𝐺/𝐺′∼=𝐶6, we have
𝐹 𝐺∼=𝐹 𝐶6⊕
⨁︁𝑙 𝑖=1
𝑀(𝑛𝑖, 𝐾𝑖).
Sincedim𝐹(𝑍(𝐹 𝐺)) = 12, 𝑙≤6. Now we have the following cases:
(a) If𝑞≡1,−11mod30, then|𝑆𝐹(𝛾𝑔)|= 1for all𝑔∈𝐺. Therefore by [11, Theorem 4.1] and [3, Prop 1.2 and Theorem 1.3],
𝐹 𝐺∼=𝐹6⊕
⨁︁6 𝑖=1
𝑀(𝑛𝑖, 𝐹)
and∑︀6
𝑖=1𝑛2𝑖 = 24. Clearly𝑛𝑖 = 2for𝑖∈ {1,2,3,4,5,6}. Hence, 𝐹 𝐺∼=𝐹6⊕𝑀(2, 𝐹)6.
(b) If𝑞≡ −1,11mod30, then|𝑆𝐹(𝛾𝑔)|= 1for𝑔= 1, 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑦2and|𝑆𝐹(𝛾𝑔)|= 2 for 𝑔 =𝑧, 𝑥𝑧, 𝑦𝑧, 𝑦2𝑧. In this case𝐹 𝐶6 ∼= 𝐹2⊕𝐹22, thus dimension constraints yield
𝑛21+𝑛22+ 2𝑛23+ 2𝑛24= 24.
We get𝑛1=𝑛2=𝑛3=𝑛4= 2. Hence,
𝐹 𝐺∼=𝐹2⊕𝐹22⊕𝑀(2, 𝐹)2⊕𝑀(2, 𝐹2)2.
(c) If𝑞≡7,13mod30, then𝑇 ={1,7,13,19} mod30. Thus |𝑆𝐹(𝛾𝑔)|= 1 for𝑔= 1, 𝑥, 𝑧, 𝑧2, 𝑥𝑧, 𝑥𝑧2 and|𝑆𝐹(𝛾𝑔)|= 2for𝑔=𝑦, 𝑦𝑧, 𝑦𝑧2. Therefore,
2(𝑛21+𝑛22+𝑛23) = 24.
We get𝑛1=𝑛2=𝑛3= 2. Hence,
𝐹 𝐺∼=𝐹6⊕𝑀(2, 𝐹2)3.
(d) If𝑞≡ −7,−13mod30, then𝑇 ={1,17,19,23}mod30. Thus|𝑆𝐹(𝛾𝑔)|= 1for𝑔= 1, 𝑥and|𝑆𝐹(𝛾𝑔)|= 2for𝑔=𝑦, 𝑧, 𝑥𝑧, 𝑦𝑧, 𝑦𝑧2. Hence,
𝐹 𝐺∼=𝐹2⊕𝐹22⊕𝑀(2, 𝐹2)3.
