Does $\mathrm{Ext}^1(M,M) \neq 0$ imply $\mathrm{Ext}^2(M,M) \neq 0$?

$\DeclareMathOperator{\Ext}{\operatorname{Ext}}$The first question is about group algebras: Question 1: Let $A=kG$ be a group algebra (with $G$ finite) and let $M$ be an indecomposable $A$-module. ...

Endomorphism ring of trivial source modules for abelian p-groups

Bernhard Böhmler  (who is also on MO) and myself had the following idea: Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ a field of characteristic $p$ (algebraically closed when it is needed) such that $p$ divides ...

Questions on group and Nakayama algebras from a book

Recall that a Nakayama algebra (also called serial algebras in the literature) is an algebra such that every indecomposable module has a unique composition series. In the book "Classical artinian ...

Extreme no loop conjecture for group algebras

Let $A=KG$ be a group algebra for a finite group $G$. Let $S$ be a simple $A$-module. The extreme no loop conjecture predicts that $Ext_A^1(S,S) \neq 0$ implies $Ext_A^i(S,S) \neq 0$ for infinitely ...

What do the indecomposable objects of the homotopy category of chain complexes look like?

I am trying to understand indecomposable objects in the homotopy category of chain complexes. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian category. Denote by $C(\mathcal{A})$ the category whose objects are chain ...

Using the mapping cone to show that a chain map defines a stable equivalence between two symmetric algebras

This question is about an argument in the proof of Theorem 9.8.8 in Linckelmanns Block Theory of Finite Group Algebras. I need to understand the argument in order to do something similar in my ...
