Abstract

We show that all QE rings of prime power characteristic are constructed in a straightforward way out of three components: a filtered Boolean power of a finite field, a nilpotent Jacobson radical, and the ring Zp. or the Witt ring W2(F4) (which is the characteristic four analogue of the Galois field with four elements).
