Hook and cohook factorizations through sums of string modules #
A factorization through a finite biproduct is the sum of its factorizations through the individual summands. Since a canonical hook or cohook map has a nonzero coefficient on its distinguished graph component, one summand makes a nonzero contribution there. Component-pair maximality on that summand forces the original map into the biproduct to split monic or the original map out of it to split epic.
If a morphism through a finite biproduct of literal string modules has a nonzero coefficient on the distinguished component of a right hook, then its two factors cannot both be nonsplit.
A right-hook factorization through a finite biproduct of literal string modules has a split first or second factor.
If a morphism through a finite biproduct of literal string modules has a nonzero coefficient on the distinguished component of a right cohook, then its two factors cannot both be nonsplit.
A right-cohook factorization through a finite biproduct of literal string modules has a split first or second factor.
A right-hook factorization through an object explicitly isomorphic to a finite biproduct of literal string modules has a split factor.
The distinguished-coefficient form of the right-hook factorization criterion is invariant under replacing the intermediate object by an isomorphic finite string sum.
A right-cohook factorization through an object explicitly isomorphic to a finite biproduct of literal string modules has a split factor.
The distinguished-coefficient form of the right-cohook factorization criterion is invariant under replacing the intermediate object by an isomorphic finite string sum.
