Sep 21, 2021 at 12:41 comment added Arrow perhaps you'd like to edit your answer, so that people are not misled?
Sep 21, 2021 at 0:02 comment added Mohan @Arrow If $F=M\oplus N $ and $\phi$ is an endomorphism of $F$ such that $\phi(M)\subset M$ then $\phi$ induces an endomorphism of $M$ and $F/M=N$. One can easily check that $\phi$ can be put in the desired form.
Sep 20, 2021 at 23:40 comment added Arrow Dear @Mohan, is there a way to see the block triangular decomposition from the splitting of the exact sequence? I do not see a way to circumvent the use of the basis above.
Sep 20, 2021 at 23:35 comment added Mohan @Arrow Yes, I was sloppy, it is block matrix with zeroes on one block. The basis you need is $1, x,x^2,\ldots, x^{n-1}$, where $\deg f_2=n$ and $f_2,f_2x,\ldots, f_2x^{m-1}$ where $\deg f_1=m$.
Sep 20, 2021 at 22:59 comment added Arrow Also, how does the direct sum decomposition force the multiplication by $g$ in the middle to be blockwise diagonal multiplication by $g$ on the factors? I'd have thought the matrix would at least be block-triangular.
Sep 20, 2021 at 21:30 comment added Arrow Dear Mohan, do you by any chance see an explicit basis of $A[x]/\langle f_1f_2\rangle$ for which the matrix representation of the multiplication map has the asserted block diagonal form?
