Abstract
For a symmetric cellular algebra, we study properties of the dual basis of a cellular basis first. Then a nilpotent ideal is constructed. The ideal connects the radicals of cell modules with the radical of the algebra. It also yields some information on the dimensions of simple modules. As a by-product, we obtain some equivalent conditions for a finite-dimensional symmetric cellular algebra to be semisimple.
