Aug 18, 2020 at 19:53 comment added Antoine Labelle @Nourddine Snanou Group representations of group $G$ over a field $K$ are the same as $K[G]$-modules and this is exaftly what representation theory studies. In your case $K$ is $\mathbb{F}_p$ and $G\cong (\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^2$. Since the characteristic of $K$ divides $|G|$, Maschke's theorem does not hold, so this is more precisely a question of modular representation theory. I don't know much about modular representation theory, though, so I can't help you more.

Aug 17, 2020 at 16:49 comment added Nourddine Snanou Yes, exactly. Thank you for your clarification. Can you explain why that is a question in representation theory. Are there similar questions in representation theory.

Aug 17, 2020 at 7:24 comment added Derek Holt Dos this question have anything to do with group extensions? You seem to be just asking for the number of isomorphism classes of ${\mathbb F}_pG$-modules over ${\mathbb F}_p$, where $G$ is elementary abelian of order $p^2$. That is a question in representation theory.
Aug 17, 2020 at 5:23 comment added Qiaochu Yuan @Antoine: the conjugation action of $E$ on $A$ factors through $G$ because $A$ is abelian.
Aug 17, 2020 at 2:16 comment added Antoine Labelle I don't see how the extension gives to $A$ a $G$-module structure. How do you define the action of $G$?
