A question with simple and indecomposable modules

It's not true. Consider representations of the quiver $$\bullet\stackrel{\alpha}{\rightarrow}\bullet\stackrel{\beta}{\leftarrow}\bullet.$$ The representation $k \to k^2 \leftarrow k$, where the ...

A question with simple and indecomposable modules

As shown by Jeremy Rickard's answer, $S := S_0$ is usually not contained in an indecomposable direct summand. The purpose of this answer is to show the weaker statement $S$ can be embedded into an ...

commutative, infinite, artinian ring (with unity) in which distinct ideals has distinct index

Let $R$ be an infinite, commutative, Artinian ring with the distinct-index property for distinct ideals. The claim is that $R$ is a field. Case 1. $R$ has a nonzero ideal $I$ such that $I^2=0$. ...

Structure theorem for artinian modules?

No, in general local finite dimensional commutative $K$-algebras are wild and their modules can not be classified. For example when $m$ is the maximal ideal and $m/m^2$ has $K$-dimension at least 3, ...

Ideals in Artinian Gorenstein local ring $(R,\mathfrak m)$ with $\mu(\mathfrak m)=2, \mathfrak m^2\ne 0$ and $\mathfrak m^3=0$

We use the fact that in an Artinian Gorenstein ring, any ideal contains the socle. The assumption tells us that the socle of $A$ is $\mathfrak m^2$, which is principal. Let $I\neq (0)$ be a non-...

Ideals in Artinian Gorenstein local ring $(R,\mathfrak m)$ with $\mu(\mathfrak m)=2, \mathfrak m^2\ne 0$ and $\mathfrak m^3=0$

The answer by @Hailong Dao can be slightly generalized to easily show the following: Let $(R,\mathfrak m,k) $ be an Artinian local Gorenstein ring with $\mathfrak m^3=0 $ and $\mathfrak m^2\ne 0.$ ...

injective hull and projective cover of simple modules are indecomposable

One definition of "projective cover" of $S$ is that it is a projective module $P$, together with an epimorphism $\phi\colon P\to S$ such that the kernel $K$ is a superfluous submodule of $P$,...

Artinian Gorenstein subrings with same socle degree

Let $A=k[x,y]/(x^2,y^2)$. If $\mathrm{char}(k)\neq 2$, then the subalgebra generated by $x+y$ is Gorenstein with the same socle degree. On the other hand, for any graded Artinian algebra $A$, any ...

Structure theorem for artinian modules?

We shouldn't expect a general classification theorem for modules. Take $A=K[x,y]/(x^2,y^2)$. If $K$ is characteristic 2 this is the group algebra for the Klein 4 group. There are infinitely many ...

On the finiteness of an Auslander-Reiten component

Since $A$ is an Artin algebra, it has only finitely many indecomposable injective modules in total (up to isomorphism), so there are finitely many in $\Gamma$. In a locally finite quiver, given any $d\...

Rings of finite uniserial type

Only not to leave unanswered the well known and easy part of the question, i.e. especially in the case that the Artinian ring is also a principal ideal ring (two-sided Artinian and two-sided ...

Rings of finite uniserial type

It is an open problem which Artin algebras have only finitely many uniserial indecomposable modules. This is stated for example as problem 2 in the open problems section in the book "...

On Artinian rings

I found the answer of the above question. The answer is this: Under this assumption R does not need to be right Artinian. Thank you.
