Radical morphisms and minimal projective presentations #
This file records the generic radical calculus needed to recognize a minimal projective presentation after applying an exact additive functor. It also packages the componentwise criterion for radical maps between finite biproducts.
A morphism with nonzero local source is radical exactly when it is not split monic.
A morphism into a nonzero object with local endomorphism ring is radical exactly when it is not split epic.
A radical morphism with nonzero source cannot be split monic.
A finite sum of radical morphisms is radical.
In an exact complex, a radical first differential makes the second differential right minimal when its source is projective.
The kernel inclusion of a right-minimal morphism is radical.
A morphism from a projective object is right minimal exactly when its kernel inclusion is radical.
A map between finite biproducts is the finite sum of its matrix components inserted into the corresponding source and target summands.
Every matrix component of a radical finite-biproduct map is radical.
A map of finite biproducts is radical when all of its matrix components are radical.
An additive functor maps a finite-biproduct morphism to a radical morphism when it maps every matrix component to a radical morphism.
