The radical-square-zero obstruction in the biserial induction #
A local coordinate-thin module cannot have three independent simple
summands in its square-zero radical. From such summands one forms two
quotient branches with two-simple radicals, glues their common simple
summand diagonally, and obtains the highest-root D₄ module: its top occurs
twice, but the cross-map criterion makes it indecomposable.
The range of the canonical map from a submodule to an ambient quotient is its ordinary mapped submodule.
Every submodule of a quotient denominator maps to zero.
A nested quotient by the image of a disjoint submodule is the quotient by the sum of the two ambient denominators.
Instances For
A four-summand radical configuration gives the forbidden D₄
diagonal cokernel. The hypotheses are an ordered direct decomposition
rad L = S ⊕ (T ⊕ (U ⊕ V)); only S, T, and U are required to
be simple.
A semisimple radical of a coordinate-thin local module has composition
length at most two. If its length were larger, three successive simple
summands and their residual complement would instantiate the preceding
D₄ obstruction.
