Almost-split morphisms in short exact sequences #
This file records three intrinsic facts used to rotate the density-free push-down theorem. A right almost-split morphism has indecomposable target; a radical kernel map in a short exact sequence makes the quotient map right minimal; and a right-minimal right almost-split quotient makes the displayed kernel map left almost split.
The target of a right almost-split morphism is indecomposable in any preadditive category with binary biproducts.
An equivalence transports a weak-kernel diagram.
A monic weak kernel is an actual kernel.
Instances For
If a target endomorphism fixes a left almost-split morphism, then factoring that morphism through the endomorphism's image remains left almost split.
In a short exact sequence, a radical kernel map makes the quotient map right minimal.
A nonsplit epimorphism in a short exact sequence whose kernel has local endomorphism ring is right minimal.
A right-minimal right almost-split quotient in a short exact sequence makes its displayed kernel map left almost split.
