Wedderburn's little theorem $\quad$ every finite domain $A$ is a field.
Proof $\quad$ Let $x$ be a nonzero element of $A$. Because $A$ is finite, there exist positive integers $n$, $k$ such that $x^n = x^{n + k}$. It is easy to see by induction that the set $E = \left \{x^i : i \in \mathbf{N}^*\right\}$ does not contain $0$; it follows therefore from $x^n\left(1 - x^k\right) = 0$ that $x^k = 1$. Thus, $x^{k - 1}$ is the inverse of $x$ (when $k = 1$, $x$ has inverse $1$).
All the proofs I have seen of this result are much more sophisticated than mine. Hence, I am doubting its correctness and could use a second opinion.
