Minimal realizations for weak positivity #
Every nonnegative projective-coordinate vector has a module realization. Among all realizations choose one with least endomorphism dimension. Ringel's endomorphism-drop lemma then forces the degree-one extensions between all indecomposable summands of a minimal realization to vanish.
A short exact sequence with nonzero extension class cannot split at its left map.
Pairwise vanishing of degree-one extensions between all summands implies vanishing of the degree-one self-extension group of their finite biproduct.
The two map-detection consequences of sincerity used in Ringel's cycle proof. They say that the chosen indecomposable detects every nonzero map out of the standard injective cogenerator, and every nonzero map into a finite projective.

Instances For
Endomorphism dimension is invariant under isomorphism.
Every nonnegative coordinate vector has a realization with the least possible endomorphism dimension among all its realizations.
Ringel 2.4(7), in the selected-skeleton form needed below: the existence of a sincere directing indecomposable forces every selected indecomposable to have projective dimension at most two.
The selected bound extends to every finitely generated module by its finite indecomposable decomposition.
The indecomposable summands of an endomorphism-minimal realization have no degree-one extensions between them. A nonzero extension would replace two summands by its middle term without changing the coordinate vector, but would strictly lower the endomorphism dimension.
Every nonnegative projective-coordinate vector has a finite realization with vanishing degree-one self-extensions.
The Euler characteristic of an exact four-term cochain beginning with an injection is at least the dimension of its first term.
If the presented module has projective dimension at most two, the kernel of the chosen projective cover of its first syzygy is projective.

If Ext¹(X,X) vanishes, applying Hom(-,X) to the first three
projectives of the chosen resolution is exact at Hom(P₁,X).
For a module of projective dimension at most two with vanishing
Ext¹(M,M), its inverse-Cartan quadratic value is at least the dimension of
its endomorphism space.
Ringel 2.4(9): the inverse-Cartan Euler quadratic form of a directed finite module category with a sincere indecomposable is weakly positive.
