  • All right ideals are finitely generated, hence summands. QED. But next time, please don’t dump your questions without some context. For example, maybe you expect to reprice the entire artinian wedderburn theorem: I don’t know, because you didn’t say.

You first show that there is a finite (unique) set $p_1,ldots,p_m$ of minimal central projections.



Then you prove that $p_jMp_j=p_jM$ is a factor. Since $M=bigoplus_j p_jM$, all that remains is to show that a finite-dimensional factor is isomorphic to $M_n(mathbb C)$ for some $n$. You start with a minimal projection $e_11$, and construct pairwise orthogonal minimal projections $e_11,ldots,e_nn$. Since we are now in a factor, minimal projections are equivalent. So there exist partial isometries $e_12,ldots,e_1n$ such that
$$
e_11=e_1j^*e_1j, e_jj=e_1je_1j^*.
$$
With these partial isometries we define
$$
e_kj=e_1k^*e_1j.
$$
And then one can check that these behave exactly as the matrix units in $M_n(mathbb C)$, namely
$$
e_kje_st=delta_js,e_kt,
$$
and $e_11+cdots+e_nn=I_n$.
