Restricted Modules and Conjectures for Modules of Constant Jordan Type

We introduce the class of restricted kA]-modules and p ^t -Jordan types for a finite abelian p-group A of exponent at least p ^t and a field k of characteristic p. For these modules, we generalize several theorems by Benson, verify a generalization of conjectures stated by Suslin and Rickard giving constraints on Jordan types for modules of constant Jordan type when t is 1. We state conjectures giving constraints on p ^t -Jordan types and show that many p ^t -Jordan types are realizable.
