Nakayama-pair extraction from Iyama's finite ladder comparison #
This file assembles the abstract categorical ingredients of the finite-ladder argument. A radical-power witness is restricted to an indecomposable summand, the reversed comparison identifies the terminal essential arrow, and the resulting positive-length certificate is truncated by one rung to produce a Nakayama pair.
A nonzero radical-power morphism remains nonzero on some chosen indecomposable direct summand of its source.
The boundary object of the reversed prefix is the actual complementary object at the end of the finite right-ladder window.
A radical-power witness on the actual terminal complementary object transports to the zero boundary of the reversed prefix and forces the chosen left ladder to have nonzero terminal domain.
The terminal essential left arrow is isomorphic to the initial
muMinus arrow when its boundary is a split subobject of the reversed right
complement.
Whole-boundary specialization of the terminal endpoint theorem.
Under the nonzero-middle hypothesis of the extraction theorem, a radical witness cannot occur at index zero.
Indecomposability transports backwards across an object isomorphism.
A comparison certificate can be truncated just before its last rung.
Instances For
The prefix of a length-n+1 comparison ends at the arrow immediately
before its terminal rung.
Each certificate entry is the invertible step between the corresponding two padded arrows.
The terminal endpoint of a finite ladder can be replaced by an arrow-isomorphic morphism without changing its distance.
The terminal-boundary argument only needs the next source to be abstractly indecomposable.
Deleting the last rung of a positive-length certificate gives the
required muPlus-ending Nakayama ladder. A witness at index n+1
therefore produces a Nakayama pair of distance n.
If the certificate ends at a chosen indecomposable zero boundary, its terminal source is automatically indecomposable.
Iyama's finite ladder construction extracts a Nakayama partner from
every nonzero nonmonic muMinus boundary map.
