Indecomposability of the Nakayama kernel #
For a minimal two-step projective presentation of a Schur object, every endomorphism of the associated Nakayama kernel is scalar modulo a morphism factoring through an injective. Minimality rules out injective summands, so idempotents of the kernel are trivial.
A morphism of finite modules factors through an injective finite module.

Instances For
An idempotent which factors through an injective has injective image. If every injective retract of its source is zero, the idempotent vanishes.
At a scalar-endomorphism endpoint, every endomorphism of the Nakayama kernel differs from a scalar by a map through an injective.
The Nakayama kernel of a minimal presentation of a nonprojective indecomposable object is nonzero.
The Nakayama kernel of a minimal presentation of a nonprojective Schur object is indecomposable.
A right almost-split realization with indecomposable Nakayama kernel is already right minimal, by comparison with any minimal right almost-split map to the same endpoint.
The kernel of a stable-socle realization is the kernel of every minimal right almost-split map to the same endpoint.
