The radical of an indecomposable endomorphism ring #
The anti-exchange argument uses the Jacobson radical of the local endomorphism ring of an indecomposable finite-length module. Mathlib proves that the Jacobson radical of an Artinian ring is nilpotent. This file identifies its elements with the noninvertible endomorphisms and packages the iteration-on-images argument needed by the manuscript.
If a composite X → Y → X is invertible and both modules are
indecomposable, then the first map is a linear equivalence onto Y.
In a finite-length module, a right factor of an invertible composite endomorphism is invertible.
For a finite-length indecomposable, the nonunits in its endomorphism ring form its unique maximal left ideal.
Instances For
The ideal of noninvertible endomorphisms is maximal.
The Jacobson radical of the endomorphism ring is exactly its ideal of noninvertible endomorphisms.
An endomorphism of an indecomposable finite-length module belongs to the Jacobson radical exactly when it is not invertible.
The endomorphism ring of a module finite-dimensional over a central ground field is Artinian.
The sum of the images of all endomorphisms in a left ideal.
Instances For
Each ideal element's range belongs to the total ideal range.
Acting by an element of I sends the range of J into the range
of the product ideal I * J.
Nilpotence of an ideal, together with a fully invariant submodule and generation modulo that submodule by the ideal's images, forces the submodule to be the whole module.
The common kernel of all endomorphisms in a left ideal.
Instances For
The common ideal kernel lies in the kernel of each ideal element.
If a fully invariant submodule meets the common kernel of a nilpotent ideal trivially, then the submodule itself is trivial.
