Biserial modules #
The radical of a biserial module is the sum of at most two uniserial submodules whose intersection is simple or zero. Zero summands are allowed, so the definition also covers uniserial and semisimple local modules without separate edge cases.
A module is simple or zero. The Subsingleton branch is the literal
zero-module alternative and does not require a chosen zero object.
Instances For
Simplicity-or-zero is invariant under a linear equivalence.
The radical of M is a sum of at most two uniserial submodules with
simple or zero intersection.
Instances For
Biseriality is invariant under a linear equivalence.
A module with uniserial radical is biserial, using the zero module as the second branch.
Every uniserial module is biserial.
A module with zero radical is biserial.
The canonical map from a submodule P to the quotient by another
submodule Q.
Instances For
If two submodules meet trivially, the canonical map from either one to the quotient by the other is injective.
A branch disjoint from Q is uniserial whenever the ambient quotient
by Q is uniserial.
Zero-intersection branch of the local biserial induction. If the radical is the sum of two disjoint branches and both cross-quotients are uniserial, then the module is biserial.
If the radical is P + Q, quotienting by Q leaves precisely the image
of P as the radical.
A simple-top module whose radical is P + Q has a uniserial quotient
by Q when P is uniserial and the two branches are disjoint. The image
of P is then the full radical of the quotient.
If a simple-top module is biserial and its radical again has simple top, then it is uniserial. Indeed, the two biserial branches cannot both be proper in the radical, since every proper submodule of a simple-top module lies in its Jacobson radical.
A simple module is uniserial.
The image of a simple submodule under an injective linear map is simple.
A finite-length module of composition length one is uniserial.
A finite-length module with simple top and composition length two is uniserial.
Two incomparable submodules of a finite-length module of composition length two are complementary simple submodules.
An indecomposable finite-length module of composition length two is uniserial.
A composition-length-three module with simple top has radical of composition length two.
A composition-length-three module with simple top and indecomposable radical is uniserial.
A finite-length module of composition length three with simple top is biserial. If its radical is not already uniserial, its two incomparable submodules are complementary simples.
