Nov 4, 2022 at 15:52 comment added RumDiary @JeremyRickard Do you know if the analogous holds for graded algebras? So if, say, $A$ is graded over $\mathbb{Z}$ (or perhaps a torsion free group, or any abelian group) and $I$ is graded injective, then is $I$ a direct sum of finite dimensional graded injectives?
Sep 10, 2022 at 9:18 comment added Peter Kropholler When passing to the dual $A^*:=\hom_k(A,k)$ you switch from left modules to right modules and right modules to left modules. So you maybe want to use the double dual. If $M$ is irreducible then so is $M^*$. Thus there is a surjection $A\twoheadrightarrow M^*$ and thus there is an embedding $M=M^{**}\rightarrowtail A^*$.

Sep 10, 2022 at 8:01 comment added Jeremy Rickard @YCor $A$ is a finite dimensional algebra, so the dual $\operatorname{Hom}_k(A,k)$ of $A$ is a finite dimensional injective into which every simple module embeds.
Sep 10, 2022 at 7:53 comment added YCor This argument (which I would have rephrased as: if $I$ is injective indecomposable, then its socle is simple) boils down to showing that the injective hull of a simple module is finite-dimensional. How do you see this?
