Let A be an Artin algebra and let 0 → X → ⊕ i = 1 r Y i → Z → 0 be an almost split sequence of A-modules with the Y i indecomposable. Suppose that X has a projective predecessor and Z has an injective successor in the Auslander-Reiten quiver Γ A of A. Then r ≤ 4, and r = 4 implies that one of the Y i is projective-injective. Moreover, if X → ⊕ j = 1 t Y j is a source map with the Y j indecomposable and X on an oriented cycle in Γ A , then t ≤ 4 and at most three of the Y j are not projective. The dual statement for a sink map holds. Finally, if an arrow X → Y in Γ A with valuation (d,d’) is on an oriented cycle, then dd’ ≤ 3.
