There have been several recent accounts of a theory dual to the well-known theory of primary decomposition for modules over a (non-trivial) commutative ring A with identity: see (4), (2) and (9). Here we shall follow Macdonald's terminology from (4) and refer to this dual theory as “ secondary representation theory ”. A secondary representation for an A-module M is an expression for M as a finite sum of secondary submodules; just as the zero submodule of a Noetherian A-module X has a primary decomposition in X, it turns out, as one would expect, that every Artinian A-module has a secondary representation.
