Almost split sequences for non-regular modules
Let A be an Artin algebra and let be an almost split sequence of A-modules with the indecomposable. Suppose that X has a projective predecessor and Z has an injective successor in the Auslander-Reiten quiver of A. Then r ≤ 4, and r = 4 implies that one of the is projective-injective. Moreover, if is a source map with the indecomposable and X on an oriented cycle in , then t ≤ 4 and at most three of the are not projective. The dual statement for a sink map holds. Finally, if an arrow...
