Let R be a commutative local nite ring. In this paper, we construct the complete set of pairwise orthogonal primitive idempotents of R[X]/ where g is a regular polynomial in R[X]. We use this set to decompose
the ring R[X]/ and to give the structure of constacyclic codes over
nite chain rings. This allows us to describe generators of the dual code C?
of a constacyclic code C and to characterize non-trivial self-dual constacyclic
codes over finite chain rings.
