Throughout this paper, by a periodic module we mean a finitely generated indecomposable right module over an artin algebra A which is periodic with respect to the action of the Auslander-Reiten translation DTr. Periodic modules over modular group algebras have been extensively investigated by using homological techniques, and we know much about the structure of such modules (see [1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 14]). In this case, DTr coincides with the syzygy operator Q. 2. For artin algebras which are not symmetric, the knowledge of periodic modules is relatively poor. In [11], Happel, Preiser and Ringel proved that a regular component 2T of the Auslander-Reiten quiver TA of A contains a periodic module M if and only if F is a stable tube of the form ZA^/{xr) where r, called the rank of &~, is the period of M. Moreover, in [13] Hoshino proved that, if A is not a local Nakayama algebra, then every DTr-invariant indecomposable A-module lies in a stable tube of rank 1. In [23] we introduced the concept of a generalized standard Auslander-Reiten component and, besides general results on such components, we showed some bounds on the rank of generalized standard stable tubes (see Section 3). The main purpose of this paper is to present results on the composition factors of periodic modules lying in generalized standard stable tubes. Our results explain common properties of stable tubes of the Auslander-Reiten quivers of some important classes of algebras. As an application of our results we obtain some information on the structure of indecomposable modules in the module categories without infinite short cycles. Let A be an artin algebra over a commutative artin ring R. By a module we mean an object in the category mod A of finitely generated right A-modules. Given a module M, we denote by [M] the image of M in the Grothendieck group K0 (A) of A. Thus [M]=[N] if and only if the modules M and N have the same composition factors including the multiplicities. We may ask when two indecomposable modules M and N have the same composition factors. In particular, it would be interesting to find sufficient conditions for an indecomposable module M to be uniquely determined up to isomorphism by its composition factors. It was shown in [19] that this is the case when M does not lie on a short cycle M-* X-> M of non-zero non-isomorphisms with A'an indecomposable module. Unfortunately, this criterion cannot be applied to periodic modules from stable tubes, because such modules always lie on short cycles. But often the short cycles containing modules from stable tubes are finite, that is, the morphisms forming these cycles do not belong to the infinite radical rad00 (mod A) of mod A. We shall show in Section 3 that a stable tube 5" is generalized standard if and only if rad (Af, M)= 0 for any module M from 5", that is, all loops M-> M at
