Summary

For a finite group scheme G, we continue our investigation of those finite-dimensional \(kG\)-modules that are of constant Jordan type. We introduce a Quillen exact category structure \({\mathcal C}(kG)\) on these modules and investigate \(K_0({\mathcal C}(kG))\). We study which Jordan types can be realized as the Jordan types of (virtual) modules of constant Jordan type. We also briefly consider thickenings of \({\mathcal C}(kG)\) inside the triangulated category \({\rm stmod}(kG)\).
