Kernel subquotient obstructions for biseriality #
The Pogorzały--Skowroński induction repeatedly constructs a kernel inside a binary product and exhibits two equal composition layers in it. This file packages the routine module-theoretic part: a product of two branch submodules, modulo branch submodules with a common quotient, is a repeated self-subquotient of the kernel.
A product of two submodules with the same nonzero quotient gives a repeated self-subquotient of every ambient submodule which contains that product.
Kernel form of the product-subquotient obstruction. It is enough to check that the branch product is killed by the defining map.
Difference of two maps to a common target. Its kernel is their module fiber product.
Instances For
The finitely generated module carried by a module fiber product.
Instances For
If both branch maps kill submodules with the same nonzero quotient, their fiber-product kernel has a repeated self-subquotient.
Under complete coordinate thinness, a fiber-product kernel carrying the two equal branch quotients above cannot be indecomposable. This is the exact contradiction endpoint for the kernel modules in the Pogorzały--Skowroński induction.
