Cokernels of minimal left almost-split monomorphisms #
This file derives the cokernel half of the abstract Auslander--Reiten sequence theorem from the already-vendored kernel half by passage to the opposite category. Keeping the transport explicit avoids duplicating the pushout argument used for kernels.
A left almost-split morphism becomes right almost split after taking its opposite.
A left almost-split morphism in an opposite category becomes right almost split after taking its underlying morphism.
Left minimality becomes right minimality on the opposite morphism.
Precomposition by an isomorphism preserves right almost-splitness.
A left-minimal left almost-split morphism with injective source is epic.
A right-minimal right almost-split morphism with projective target is monic.
The cokernel of a monic right almost-split morphism into a projective object is simple. This is the abstract projective-boundary case of an almost-split sequence.
Simplicity descends from an object of an opposite abelian category to its underlying object.
The kernel of an epic left almost-split morphism out of an injective
object is simple. This is the injective-boundary dual of
simple_cokernel_of_mono_rightAlmostSplit_projective.
If the projective target of a monic right almost-split morphism has local endomorphism ring, every nonzero morphism from it to a simple object exhibits that simple as the cokernel.
Instances For
In an abelian category with enough projectives, a monic right almost-split morphism has projective target.
In a category with enough projectives, a right almost-split map ending at a nonprojective object is epic.
The cokernel projection of a left-minimal left almost-split monomorphism is right almost split.
