# Explicit indecomposable monomorphism of finitely generated non-indecomposable Abelian groups.

This question is a follow-up of the question I asked here.

Can you write down an explicit example of a monomorphism of finitely generated Abelian groups which is an indecomposable object in the category of two-step complexes of Abelian groups such that one of the two entries is not an indecomposable Abelian group?

How about the map $f:\mathbb{Z}\to\mathbb{Z}\oplus(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})$ given by $f(n)=(2n,n)$?

Or for a finite example, the same idea works with a map $\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}\to(\mathbb{Z}/8\mathbb{Z})\oplus(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})$.

Or if you want neither term to be indecomposable, the map $(m,n)\mapsto(2m,m+2n,n)$ from $(\mathbb{Z}/16\mathbb{Z})\oplus(\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z})$ to $(\mathbb{Z}/32\mathbb{Z})\oplus({\mathbb{Z}/8\mathbb{Z}})\oplus(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})$.

For example, in the third case, the cokernel of the map is cyclic of order 8, and in particular indecomposable. So if the complex decomposed, the map in one summand would have to be an isomorphism, which is impossible since the two terms of the original complex have no summands in common.
