Counting simple modules by indecomposable projectives #
Taking the simple top gives a bijection between the projective labels and the simple labels of a complete finite indecomposable right-module family. Consequently, the projective count used by the magnitude calculation equals the literal number of simple-module isomorphism classes.
The bijection works over any field. Algebraic closedness is unnecessary.
Labels whose representatives are simple right modules. Completeness and absence of repeated isomorphism classes make their cardinality the simple count.
Instances For
The literal number of simple-module classes in the family.
Instances For
The simple top of each projective occurs in the complete family.
The label of the simple top of a projective representative.
Instances For
The chosen identification of a projective's top with its simple representative.
Instances For
Distinct indecomposable projectives have nonisomorphic simple tops.
A map from a projective to a simple module descends to its simple top.
Instances For
Descent recovers the original map after the top projection.
Every simple representative is the top of an indecomposable projective.
Taking the top identifies projective classes with simple classes.
Instances For
The simple count equals the number of indecomposable projectives.
The literal simple count is the integer projective count used in the magnitude formula.
