If two simple A-modules of finite dimension over K have a common nonzero coefficient, then they are isomorphic.

Let S1S_1 and S2S_2 be simple A-modules of finite dimension over K with a common nonzero coefficient. We then have ΘS1(A)∩ΘS2(A)≠0\Theta_{S_1}(A)\cap \Theta_{S_2}(A)\not= 0. Now, ΘS1(A)\Theta_{S_1}(A) is isotypical of type S1S_1, and ΘS2(A)\Theta_{S_2}(A) is isotypical of type S2S_2. So S1S_1 is isomorphic to S2S_2.

By Theorem 1, Θss(A)\Theta^{ss}(A) is an (A(A, A)-sub-bimodule of A∗A^*, the direct sum of the (A(A, A)-bimodules ΘS(A)\Theta_S(A) for S running through SK\mathscr{S}_K. These bimodules are pairwise nonisomorphic because they are already nonisomorphic as left A-modules.

Fix an S in SK\mathscr{S}_K. Denote by D the opposite field of EndA_A(S), and view S as a right D-module and S∗S^* as a left D-module. With these conventions, S is an (A(A, D)-bimodule, S∗S^* is a (D(D, A)-bimodule, and S⊗DS∗S\otimes_DS^* is an (A(A, A)-bimodule.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
