semi-Gorenstein-projective modules. II
Claus Michael Ringel, Pu Zhang
Abstract: Let k be a field and
q a non-zero element
of k. In Part I, we have exhibited a
6-dimensional k-algebra Λ=Λ(q) and we have shown that if
q has infinite multiplicative order, then
Λ has a 3-dimensional local
module which is semi-Gorenstein-projective, but not torsionless, thus not
Gorenstein-projective. This Part II is devoted to a detailed study of all the
3-dimensional local Λ-modules for this particular algebra Λ.
If q has infinite multiplicative order, we will encounter a whole family of
3-dimensional local modules which are semi-Gorenstein-projective, but not torsionless.

1. Introduction.
(1.1) We refer to our previous paper [RZ1] as Part I.
As in Part I,
let k be a field, and q a non-zero element of k. We consider again the k-algebra
Λ=Λ(q) generated by x,y,z with relations
[TABLE]
The algebra Λ is a 6-dimensional local algebra
with basis 1,x,y,z,yx,zx. Its socle is socΛ=rad2Λ=Λyx⊕Λzx.
If not otherwise stated, all the modules considered
will be left Λ-modules.
We follow the terminology used in Part I. In particular, we denote by ℧M
the cokernel of a minimal left add(Λ)-approximation of M.
In addition, we introduce the following definitions.
We say that a module M is extensionless if Ext1(M,Λ)=0.
An indecomposable
semi-Gorenstein-projective module will be said to be pivotal
provided it is not torsionless.
An indecomposable ∞-torsionfree
module will be said to be pivotal provided it is not extensionless.
Thus, a module M is semi-Gorenstein-projective if and only if ΩtM
is extensionless for all t≥0; a torsionless module M is
reflexive if and only if ℧M is torsionless (see Part I (2.4));
a module M is ∞-torsionfree if and only if ℧tM is reflexive
for all t≥0; and M is Gorenstein-projective if and only if M is both
semi-Gorenstein-projective and ∞-torsionfree.
(1.2) We are interested in the semi-Gorenstein-projective and the
∞-torsionfree modules and will exhibit those which are
3-dimensional. We recall that a finite length
module is said to be local provided its top is simple.
Thus, a local module is indecomposable; and if R is a left artinian ring, then a
left R-module M is local if and only if M is a quotient of an indecomposable
projective module. A consequence of our study is the following assertion
Proposition. Let M be a non-zero module of dimension
at most 3. If M is semi-Gorenstein-projective, then all the modules ΩtM
with t≥0 are 3-dimensional and local.
If M is ∞-torsionfree, then all the modules ℧tM
with t≥0 are 3-dimensional and local. In particular, if M is
Gorenstein-projective, then all the modules ΩtM and ℧tM
with t≥0 are 3-dimensional and local.
(1.3)
The text restricts the attention to the 3-dimensional local modules.
The starting point of our investigation are two observations. The first one:
Proposition 1. A module of dimension at most 3 is annihilated by rad2Λ,
thus it is a module of Loewy length at most 2.
The second observation is:
Proposition 2.
An indecomposable 3-dimensional torsionless module is local.
The proof of Proposition 1 will be given in (2.6), the proof of Proposition 2 in (2.7).
(1.4) The 3-dimensional local modules.
We identify (a,b,c)∈k3∖{0} with ax+by+cz
and denote by (a:b:c) the 1-dimensional subspace of k3 generated by (a,b,c).
The left ideal
[TABLE]
has dimension 3, and we obtain the left Λ-module
[TABLE]
Clearly, M(a,b,c)* is a 3-dimensional local module and
the modules
M(a,b,c), M(a′,b′,c′) are isomorphic if and only if (a:b:c)=(a′:b′:c′).*
Let us add that the definition of M(a,b,c) implies that
ΩM(a,b,c)≃U(a,b,c), this will be used throughout the text.
Conversely, any 3-dimensional local module is isomorphic to a module of the form
M(a,b,c).
In order to see this, one should look at the factor algebra
Λ of Λ modulo socΛ=rad2Λ,
thus Λ is the k-algebra generated by x,y,z with relations all monomials
of length 2.
The Λ-modules of Loewy length at most 2 are just the modules annihilated
by all monomials of length 2, thus the Λ-modules.
It is clear that the modules M(a,b,c)=Λ/(a:b:c)
are representatives of
the 3-dimensional local Λ-modules. According to
Proposition 1, all the 3-dimensional Λ-modules are Λ-modules,
thus the modules M(a,b,c) are representatives of
the 3-dimensional local Λ-modules.
(1.5) The following theorem
characterizes the modules of dimension at most 3 which have some relevant properties.
We write o(q) for the multiplicative order of q.
Theorem. An indecomposable module M of dimension at most 3 is
*∙ *torsionless if and only if M is simple or isomorphic to Λ(x−y), to
Λz, to a module
M(1,b,c) with b=−q, to M(0,1,0) or to M(0,0,1);
*∙ *extensionless if and only if M is isomorphic to a module
M(1,b,c) with b=−1;
*∙ *reflexive if and only if M is isomorphic to a module
M(1,b,c) with b=−qi for i=1,2;
*∙ *Gorenstein-projective if and only if M is isomorphic to a module
M(1,b,c) with b=−qi
for i∈Z;
*∙ *semi-Gorenstein-projective if and only if M is isomorphic to
a module M(1,b,c) with b=−qi
for i≤0;
∙ ∞-torsionfree if and only if M is isomorphic to
a module M(1,b,c)
with b=−qi for i≥1;
*∙ *pivotal semi-Gorenstein-projective if and only if o(q)=∞ and
M is isomorphic to a module M(1,−q,c);
*∙ *pivotal ∞-torsionfree if and only if o(q)=∞ and
M is isomorphic to a module M(1,−1,c).
For the proof of the Theorem, see (7.9). Looking at the Theorem, the reader will be aware
that in the context considered here,
the relevant modules of dimension at least 3 are the modules M(1,b,c) with
b,c∈k. Nearly all the modules mentioned in Theorem are of this kind, the only exceptions
are four isomorphism classes of torsionless modules, namely
Λ(x−y), Λz, M(0,1,0) and M(0,0,1).
(1.6) As we have seen in (1.4),
the set of isomorphism classes of the 3-dimensional local modules
can be identified in a natural way
with the projective plane P2=P(radΛ/rad2Λ), with
the element (a:b:c)∈P2 corresponding to the module M(a,b,c).
We use homogeneous coordinates in order
to highlight elements and subsets of P2 (or the corresponding modules):
[TABLE]
As Theorem (1.5) shows, of special interest is the affine subspace H of P2
given by the points (1:b:c) with b,c∈k.
As we will see in section 7,
H is a union of Ω℧-components, and
the set of 3-dimensional Gorenstein-projective
modules is always a (proper) subset of H.
A module M in H is torsionless if and only if it does not belong to
the line T={(1:(−q):c)∣c∈k}, and is
extensionless
if and only if it does not belong to the line E={(1:(−1):c)∣c∈k} (see
(6.1) and (5.1), respectively):
[TABLE]
In case the multiplicative order o(q) of q is infinite, H is
the set of the 3-dimensional modules which are
semi-Gorenstein-projective or ∞-torsionfree;
the line E
consists of the pivotal semi-Gorenstein-projective modules in H;
the line T of the
pivotal ∞-torsionfree modules in H.
Let us emphasize:
There are 3-dimensional pivotal semi-Gorenstein-projective modules if
and only if there
are 3-dimensional pivotal
∞-torsionfree modules if and only if the multiplicative order
of q is infinite.
(1.7) The algebra Λ=Λ(q) was exhibited in Part I in order to present in case o(q)=∞
a module M which is
not torsionless, such that M and its Λ-dual
M∗ both are semi-Gorenstein-projective:
namely the module M=M(1,−q,0) with M∗=M′(1,−q,0). Now we see:
Let o(q)=∞ and assume that
M is a module of dimension at most 3. Then both M and M∗ are
semi-Gorenstein-projective, whereas M is not reflexive, if and only if M
is isomorphic to a module of the form M(1,−q,c) with c∈k. In this case
M is not even torsionless and all the modules M(1,−q,c)∗ with c∈k
are isomorphic.
Thus, we encounter a 1-parameter family
of pairwise non-isomorphic semi-Gorenstein-projective left modules M
such that their Λ-dual modules M∗ are isomorphic and
semi-Gorenstein-projective, see (9.5).
(1.8)
The modules M(1,b,0) with α∈k have been studied already in Part I
(there, they have been denoted by M(−b)). Theorem (1.5) shows that
these modules are quite typical for the behavior of the modules M(1,b,c).
Namely:
The module M(1,b,c) is Gorenstein-projective (or semi-Gorenstein-projective,
or ∞-torsionfree, or torsionless, or extensionless) if and only
if M(1,b,0) has this property.
(1.8) Outline of the paper.
Section 2 provides some preliminary results. Here, the main
target is to show that any module of length at most 3 has Loewy length
at most 2. In section 3 we collect some formulae which show that certain products
of elements in Λ are zero. Sections 4 to 7 deal with the
3-dimensional local left Λ-modules, section 8 with the 3-dimensional
local right Λ-modules. Section 9 discusses the Λ-duality.
The final section 10 provides an outline of the general frame for this investigation:
the study of semi-Gorenstein-projective and ∞-torsionfree modules over
local algebras with radical cube zero. There is an appendix which
provides a diagrammatic description of the 3-dimensional indecomposable left
Λ-modules.
2. Some left ideals and some right ideals of Λ.
(2.1) Lemma. The left ideal Λ(a,b,c) is 2-dimensional
if and only if a+b=0 and ac=0. We have
socΛ(1,−1,0)=Λyx and socΛ(0,0,1)=Λzx.
Proof. An easy calculation shows that socΛ(1,−1,0)=Λyx and
socΛ(0,0,1)=Λzx. Thus, the left ideals
Λ(0,0,1) and Λ(1,−1,0) are 2-dimensional.
Now, let L=Λ(a,b,c) be any left ideal. If a=0, then yx∈L since
y(a,b,c)=ayx.
First, assume that a+b=0. Then z(a,b,c)=(a+b)zx shows that zx∈L.
We know already that for a=0, also yx∈L. If a=0, then b=0.
Thus x(a,b,c)=−qbyx+czx shows that also in this case yx∈L. Thus
L cannot be 2-dimensional.
Next, assume that ac=0. Since a=0, we know that yx∈L. Since c=0,
we use x(a,b,c)=−qbyx+czx in order to see that zx∈L. Again, L cannot be 2-dimensional.
\hfill□
(2.2) Let L be a 2-dimensional left ideal, different from
socΛ. Then either L⊆U(1,−1,0) and then socL=Λyx
and L is isomorphic to Λ(x−y)
or else
L⊆U(0,0,1) and then socL=Λzx and L is isomorphic to Λz.
Proof: There is an element (a,b,c)+w∈L, with (a,b,c)=0
and w∈socΛ. Since radΛ((a,b,c)+w)=radΛ(a,b,c),
also L′=Λ(a,b,c) is 2-dimensional and L⊆L′+socΛ=U(a,b,c). According to (2,1), (a:b:c) is equal to
(1:(−1):0) or to (0:0:1). Of course, L and L′ are isomorphic as
(left) modules.
\hfill□
(2.3) Lemma. There is no 3-dimensional torsionless module with simple socle.
Proof. Assume that U is a 3-dimensional torsionless module with simple socle. Then U
is a submodule of Λ. It is a proper submodule, thus
of Loewy length at most 2. Therefore,
U is the sum of two 2-dimensional left ideals L=L′ with socL=socL′.
Now we use (2.2). If L,L′ have socle equal to Λyx,
then U=L+L′=U(1,−1,0).
If L,L′ have socle equal to Λzx, then also U=L+L′=U(0,0,1).
In both cases socΛ⊆U, a contradiction.
\hfill□
(2.4) Any 3-dimensional left ideal contains socΛ.
(2.5) The 3-dimensional left ideals are the subspaces
U(a,b,c). They have the following structure: U(1,−1,0)=Λ(1,−1,0)⊕Λzx; U(0,0,1)=Λ(0,0,1)⊕Λyx; and
if a+b=0 or ac=0, then U(a,b,c)=Λ(a,b,c) is a local
module (in particular, indecomposable).
Proof. The left ideals U(a,b,c) are 3-dimensional.
Conversely, let U be a 3-dimensional left ideal of Λ.
Since socΛ is contained in U,
there is an element (a,b,c)=0 with (a,b,c)∈U, thus U=U(a,b,c).
If a+b=0 and ac=0, then (a:b:c) is equal to
(1:(−1):0) or to (0:0:1).
By (2.1), we have U(1,−1,0)=Λ(1,−1,0)⊕Λzx and U(0,0,1)=Λ(0,0,1)⊕Λyx.
If a+b=0 or ac=0, then U(a,b,c)=Λ(a,b,c) is a local
module, thus indecomposable.
\hfill□
(2.6) Proposition. Any module of dimension at most 3 has Loewy length at most 2.
Proof. Let M be a module of dimension at most 3. If M is not local, then clearly
M has Loewy length at most 2. If dimM≤2, then M is of course
local.
Thus, we can assume that M is 3-dimensional and local and therefore a factor module
of Λ, say M=Λ/U. According to (2.4), socΛ⊆U,
thus M is annihilated by
socΛ, and therefore M has Loewy length at most 2.
\hfill□
(2.7) Lemma. Any indecomposable torsionless module M of dimension at most 3
is local and isomorphic to a left ideal of Λ. If dimM=3, then M
is of the form U(a,b,c).
Proof. Let M be indecomposable and torsionless. If dimM≤2, then M is of course
local and isomorphic to a left ideal. Thus we can assume that dimM=3.
Since M is torsionless, there is a set of non-zero
maps uiM→ΛΛ (say with index set I)
such that ⋂i∈IKi=0, where Ki is the kernel of ui.
If Ki=0 for some i, then already ui is an embedding (thus M is
isomorphic to a left ideal).
In particular, if the socle of M is simple, then we must have Ki=0 for some i.
Thus, we can assume that the socle of M is not simple. Therefore M has to be
a local module and we have a surjective map πΛΛ→M.
It remains to look at the case where dimKi=1 or 2 for all i. Since
the only 2-dimensional submodule of M is its radical, we have
⋂i∈I′Ki=0, where I′ is the set of indices i with
dimKi=1. But then Ki∩Kj=0 for some i=j in I′.
This shows that we can assume that I={1,2} and that K1,K2
are different 1-dimensional submodules of M.
Now ui provides an isomorphism from M/Ki onto
a (2-dimensional) left ideal of Λ. Since M/Ki is
indecomposable, (2.2) shows that M/Ki is isomorphic to
Λ(1,−1,0) or to Λ(0,0,1). Let Ki′=Ker(uiπ)
for i=1,2.
If M/Ki≃Λ(1,−1,0), then Ki′ is equal to
Λ(x+qy)+Λz, since Λ(0,0,1) is annihilated by
x+qy and by z. Similarly,
if M/Ki≃Λ(0,0,1), then Ki′ is equal to
Λ(x+qy)+Λz. Thus one of M/Ki has to be isomorphic
to Λ(1,−1,0), the other one to Λ(0,0,1) and
Ker(π)=K1′∩K2′=U(0,0,1). It follows that
M≃ΛΛ/Ker(π)=ΛΛ/U(0,0,1).
But ΛΛ/U(0,0,1) is isomorphic to
the left ideal Λ(1,−1,1)=U(1,−1,1).
We have shown that M is isomorphic to a left ideal, thus of the form U(a,b,c),
see (2.5). Since we assume that
M is indecomposable, (2.5) asserts that M is local.
\hfill□
We need to know also the right ideals (a,b,c)Λ. Note that U(a,b,c)
is always a twosided ideal and it will be pertinent to denote U(a,b,c) by U′(a,b,c),
if we consider it as a right ideal (thus as a right module).
(2.8) The right ideals (a,b,c)Λ.
If a=0 or bc=0, then (a,b,c)Λ=U(a,b,c) is 3-dimensional.
The right ideals (0,1,0)Λ and (0,0,1)Λ are 2-dimensional with
soc(0,1,0)Λ=yxΛ
and soc(0,0,1)Λ=zxΛ.
Proof: Let V=(a,b,c)Λ. First, let
a=0. Then zx belongs to V, since (a,b,c)z=azx. Also yx∈V, since
(a,b,c)y=−qayx+czx. Second, assume that a=0 and bc=0. Then
(0,b,c)y=czx shows that zx∈V, and (0,b,c)x=byx+czx shows that also yx∈V.
\hfill□
(2.9) If a 3-dimensional indecomposable right module N
is torsionless, then it is isomorphic to a right ideal, thus to U′(a,b,c) for some
(a,b,c)=0.
Proof. Let N be a 3-dimensional indecomposable torsionless right module.
As in (2.7) one shows that N is isomorphic to a right ideal,
using (2.8) instead of (2.2). It remains to see that all 3-dimensional right ideals
are of the form U′(a,b,c). Here, one has to copy the proof of (2.5).
3. The transformations ω and ω′.
If (a:b:c) is different from (1:(−1):0) and (0:0:1), then
(2.5) shows that U(a,b,c) is a 3-dimensional local module,
thus of the form M(a′:b′:c′). In order to describe in which way
(a′:b′:c′) depends on (a:b:c), we will need the
transformations ω and ω′.
We start with some equalities in Λ.
(3.1) Formulae. Let a,b,c∈k. Then
[TABLE]
Proof of the equality (1):
[TABLE]
The proof of the remaining equalities is similar. \hfill□
(3.2) In case a+b=0, let
ω(a,b,c)=(a,qb,−a+bac).
In case a′=0, let ω′(a′,b′,c′)=(a′,q−1b′,−a′a′+q−1b′c′).
Proposition. The transformation
ω provides a bijection from the set {(a,b,c)∈k3∣a(a+b)=0}
onto the set {(a′,b′,c′)∈k3∣a′(a′+q−1b′)=0}, with inverse ω′.
Proof. Let a(a+b)=0. Then (a′,b′,c′)=ω(a,b,c) is defined and
a′=a=0, and a′+q−1b′=a+q−1qb=a+b=0. Thus
ω maps {(a,b,c)∈k3∣a(a+b)=0} into
{(a,b,c)∈k3∣a(a+q−1b)=0. Similarly, ω′ maps
{(a′,b′,c′)∈k3∣a′(a′+q−1b′)=0 into
{(a,b,c)∈k3∣a(a+b)=0. It is easy to check that
ω′ω(a,b,c)=(a,b,c) for a(a+b)=0
and that ωω′(a′,b′,c′)=(a′,b′,c′) for a′(a′+q−1b′)=0.
\hfill□
4. The isomorphism class of U(a,b,c)≃ΩM(a,b,c).
(4.1) Proposition. Let (a,b,c)=0. Then
[TABLE]
Proof: If a=0 and b=0, then
U(a,b,c)=U(0,0,1). If a+b=0 and c=0, then U(a,b,c)=U(1,−1,0).
According to (2.3), U(0,0,1)=Λz⊕Λyx and
U(1,−1,0)=Λ(x−y)⊕Λzx, This shows (5) and (3). In this way, we
have considered all triples (a,b,c) with a+b=0 and ac=0.
Thus, let a+b=0 or ac=0. By (2.5), U(a,b,c)=Λ(a,b,c) is
local and we look at the surjective
map ϕΛΛ→U(a,b,c) which sends 1 to (a,b,c).
Let a+b=0. According to formula (1) of (3.1), Λ(a,b,c) is annihilated
by ω(a,b,c), thus M(ω(a,b,c)))=ΛΛ/Λ(ω(a,b,c))
maps onto Λ(a,b,c). Since the modules M(ω(a,b,c)) and
Λ(a,b,c) both have dimension 3, we see that
U(a,b,c)=Λ(a,b,c) is isomorphic to M(ω(a,b,c)). This yields (1)
and (4) (namely, if a=0, and b=0, we have ω(0,b,c)=(0,qb,0)).
Finally, we show (2). For c=0, the module U(1,−1,c) is isomorphic
to M(0,0,1). Now we use in the same way formula (2) of (3.1).
\hfill□
The following picture outlines the position of the partition of P2
which is used in the Proposition.
[TABLE]
(4.2) Corollary. The syzygy functor
Ω provides a bijection from the set
of isomorphism classes of modules M(a,b,c) with a(a+b)=0 onto
the set of isomorphism classes of modules M(a′,b′,c′) with a′(a′+q−1b′)=0
and we have ΩM(a,b,c)=M(ω(a,b,c)) for a(a+b)=0.
Proof. This follows directly from Propositions (3.2) and (4.1).
\hfill□
5. The extensionless modules M(a,b,c).
(5.1) Proposition. The module M(a,b,c) is extensionless if and only if a(a+b)=0.
For the proof, we need some preparations.
(5.2) Lemma. The following conditions are equivalent:
(i) The module M(a,b,c) is extensionless.
(ii) The inclusion map ιU(a,b,c)→ΛΛ is a left
add(Λ)-approximation.
(iii) U(a,b,c)=Λ(a,b,c)* and
the inclusion map ιΛ(a,b,c)→ΛΛ is a left
add(Λ)-approximation.*
(iv) The subspace U(a,b,c) is
indecomposable both as a left module and as a right module,
and the image of every homomorphism ΛU(a,b,c)→ΛΛ is
contained in U(a,b,c).
Proof. The equivalence of (i) and (ii) follows from Part I, Lemma 2.1.
(ii) ⟹ (iii): We assume (ii).
If U(a,b,c)=U1⊕U2 with U1,U2 both non-zero, then a minimal left
add(Λ)-approximation U(a,b,c)→Λt is the direct sum of
minimal left add(Λ)-approximations U1→Λt1 and
U2→Λt2, thus t=t1+t2≥2. This shows that U(a,b,c) is
indecomposable. According to (2.5), this means that U(a,b,c)=Λ(a,b,c).
(iii) ⟹ (iv). Since Λ(a,b,c) is a local module, it is indecomposable.
Thus U(a,b,c)=Λ(a,b,c) implies that U(a,b,c) considered as a left module
is indecomposable. Given any homomorphism ϕU(a,b,c)→ΛΛ, (iii)
provides λ∈Λ with ϕ(a,b,c)=(a,b,c)λ∈(a,b,c)Λ⊆U(a,b,c). Now assume that (a,b,c)Λ is a proper subset of
U(a,b,c). Let w∈socΛ. Since Λw is simple, there is
a homomorphism ϕΛ(a,b,c)→Λ with ϕ(a,b,c)=w
and (iii) asserts that w=ϕ(a,b,c)=(a,b,c)λ for some λ∈Λ. This shows that socΛ⊆(a,b,c)Λ and therefore
U(a,b,c)=(a,b,c)Λ. In particular, U(a,b,c) is indecomposable also as a right
Λ-module.
(iv) ⟹ (ii). Let ϕU(a,b,c)→ΛΛ be a homomorphism.
Since U(a,b,c) is indecomposable as a left module, we have U(a,b,c)=Λ(a,b,c).
Since U(a,b,c) is indecomposable as a right module, we have U(a,b,c)=(a,b,c)Λ.
According to (iv), ϕ(a,b,c)∈U(a,b,c)=(a,b,c)Λ, thus ϕ(a,b,c)=(a,b,c)λ=rλι(a,b,c) for some λ∈Λ, where
rλΛΛ→ΛΛ is the right multiplication by λ.
Since the left module U(a,b,c)=Λ(a,b,c) is generated by (a,b,c), the
equality ϕ(a,b,c)=rλι(a,b,c) implies that ϕ=rλι.
\hfill□
(5.3) Lemma. Let R be a ring and X a left R-module.
If ϕRR→X is an R-module
homomorphism and w∈R
annihilates X, then Rw⊆Kerϕ.
Corollary. Let L be a left ideal of R and X
an R-module annihilated by w1,…,wt∈R.
The image of any map R/L→X is a factor module
of R/(L+Rw1+⋯Rwt).
Proof. Let ϕR/L→X be a homomorphism.
Let πR→R/L be the canonical projection.
By construction, L is contained in
Ker(ϕπ). By the lemma, also the left ideals Rwi are contained in
Ker(ϕπ). Thus L+Rw1+⋯+Rwt⊆Ker(ϕπ).
\hfill□
(5.4) Proof of Proposition (5.1).
According to (5.2), M(a,b,c) is extensionless if and only if condition (iv)
is satisfied. We look at all the elements (a:b:c)∈P2,
using the partition of P2 into the subsets (1) to (5) as in (4.1).
The cases (3) and (5): Both U(1,−1,0) and U(0,0,1) are decomposable
as left modules, see (2.5).
Case (4): According to (4.1), U(0,1,c)≃M(0,1,0). Obviously, M(0,1,0) has Λz as a factor module, thus
there is a homomorphism U(0,1,c)→ΛΛ with image Λz and Λz⊆U(0,1,c).
The case (2) is similar: (4.1) shows that U(1,−1,c)≃M(0,0,1),
and M(0,0,1) maps onto
Λz; thus there is a homomorphism U(1,−1,c)→ΛΛ with image Λz and Λz⊆U(1,−1,c).
This shows that none of the modules M(a,b,c) with a(a+b)=0 is extensionless.
It remains to consider the case (1). Thus, assume that a(a+b)=0.
Let (1,b′,c′)=ω(1,b,c), thus b′=qb.
We want to show that the conditions (iv)
of (5.2) are satisfied. According to (2.5) and (2.8),
U(a,b,c) is indecomposable both as a left module and as a right module,
It remains to show that
the image of every homomorphism ΛU(a,b,c)→ΛΛ is
contained in U(a,b,c).
(a) The only left ideal isomorphic to U(1,b,c) is U(1,b,c)
itself.
Proof. The 3-dimensional left ideals are of the form U(a′′,b′′,c′′), for some
(a′′,b′′,c′′)=0, see (2.5).
Assume that U(1,b,c)≃U(a′′,b′′,c′′). We have U(a′′,b′′,c′′)≃ΩM(a′′,b′′,c′′) and by (4.1) we must be in case (1), namely
a′′=0 and a′′+b′′=0. In particular, we may assume that
a′′=1 and (4.1)(1) asserts that
ΩM(1,b′′,c′′)=M(ω(1,b′′,c′′)). The isomorphy M(ω(1,b,c))≃M(ω(1,b′′,c′′))
implies that the triples ω(1,b,c) and ω(1,b′′,c′′) yield the same
element in P2, and since the first coordinate of both triples is equal to 1,
we have ω(1,b,c)=ω(1,b′′,c′′). Since 1+b=0 and 1+b′′=0,
we use (3.2) in oder to conclude that (1,b,c)=(1,b′′,c′′).
(b) The left ideal Λz is not a factor module of U(1,b,c).
The proof uses Corollary (5.3) for the left ideal L=U(1,b′,c′) and the module
X=Λz which is annihilated by y and z.
Namely, on the one hand, we have
U(1,b,c)≃ΩM(1,b,c)≃M(ω(1,b,c))=M(1,b′,c′)=Λ/U(1,b′,c′)=Λ/L.
On the other hand, radΛ=Λ(x+b′y+c′z)+Λy+Λz⊆U(1,b′,c′)+Λy+Λz⊆radΛ shows that
L+Λy+Λz=radΛ. Therefore, (5.3) asserts that the image
of any homomorphism U(1,b,c)→Λz
is a factor module of Λ/radΛ, thus simple or zero.
(c) The left ideal Λ(x−y) is not a factor module of U(1,b,c).
Again, we use Corollary (5.3) for L=U(1,b′,c′) and now for
X=Λ(x−y). Note that Λ(x−y) is annihilated by x−qy and z.
We recall from (b) that U(1,b,c)≃Λ/L.
And we have radΛ=Λ(x+b′y+c′z)+Λ(x−qy)+Λz,
since b′=qb=−q. Therefore, we also have
U(1,b′,c′)+Λ(x−qy)+Λz=radΛ, and
(5.3) asserts that the image of any homomorphism U(1,b,c)→Λz
is simple or zero.
Any homomorphism ϕU(1,b,c)→ΛΛ maps into U(1,b,c).
Proof. According to (b) and (c), the image I of ϕ
is not of dimension 2. If the image I is
of dimension 3, then (a) shows that I is equal to U(1,b,c). Of course, if I
is of dimension at most 1, then I⊆socΛ⊆U(1,b,c).
\hfill□
(5.5) Corollary. If M(a,b,c) is extensionless, then ΩM(a,b,c)≃M(ω(a,b,c)).
Proof. This follows directly from (5.1) and the case (1) of (4.1).
\hfill□.
6. The torsionless modules M(a,b,c).
(6.1) Proposition. The module M(a,b,c) is torsionless if and only if either
a(a+q−1b)=0 or else a=0 and bc=0 (so that
(a:b:c) is equal to (0:1:0)
or to (0:0:1)).
In order to prove (6.1), we consider the possible cases separately.
First, we consider the modules M(a,b,c) with a=0.
In section 5 we have seen that M(1,b,c) is extensionless if and only if b=−1, and
then ΩM(1,b,c)≃M(ω(1,b,c)). There is the following corresponding assertion
concerning the torsionless modules (see also (7.1)).
(6.2)
The module M(1,b,c) is torsionless if and only if b=−q, and in this case
℧M(1,b,c)≃M(ω′(1,b,c)).
Proof. Let b=−q. Then ω′(1,b,c)=(1,q−1b,c′) for some c′.
According to (5.1) and (5.5), M(1,q−1b,c′) is extensionless and
ΩM(1,q−1b,c′)≃M(1,b,c),
since ω(1,q−1b,c′)=ωω′(1,b,c)=(1,b,c).
This shows that M(1,b,c) is torsionless and that ℧M(1,b,c)≃M(ω′(1,b,c)).
Conversely, we consider M(1,−q,c) and assume, for the contrary, that M(1,−q,c)
is torsionless.
According to (2.7), this means that M(1,−q,c) is isomorphic to
a left ideal U(a′,b′,c′)=ΩM(a′,b′,c′). According to
(4.1), we must be in the case a′+b′=0 and a′=0.
We can assume that a′=1, thus 1+b′=0. We have
ΩM(1,b′,c′)≃M(ω(1,b′,c′))=M(1,qb′,c′′)
for some c′′. Since M(1,−q,c)≃ΩM(1,b′,c′)≃M(1,qb′,c′′), we see
that (1,−q,c)=(1,qb′,c′′), thus b′=−1. But this is
a contradiction to 1+b′=0.
\hfill□
(6.3) For M=M(0,1,0) and M(0,0,1), there is no monomorphism
M→ΛΛ which is an add(Λ)-approximation.
Proof. Let M be equal to M(0,1,0) or to M(0,0,1).
Assume that there is a monomorphism uM→ΛΛ which is an
add(Λ)-approximation. The image u(M) is a 3-dimensional left ideal,
thus of the form U(a,b,c) for some (a,b,c)=0, see (2.7).
The implication (ii) ⟹ (iv) in (5.2) asserts that any
homomorphism U(a,b,c)→ΛΛ maps into U(a,b,c).
Obviously, both modules M(0,1,0) and M(0,0,1) have a factor module
isomorphic to Λz, thus there is a surjective homomorphism U(a,b,c)→Λz, and therefore Λz⊆U(a,b,c). But Λz
is an indecomposable module of length 2, and U(a,b,c)≃M is a local module
of length 3
with socle of length 2. A local module of length 3
with socle of length 2 has no indecomposable
submodule of length 2, thus we obtain a contradiction.
\hfill□
(6.4) Proposition. The modules M(0,b,c) with bc=0
are not torsionless.
Proof. Let M=M(0,b,c) with bc=0 and assume that M is torsionless.
According to (2.7), this means that M≃U(a′,b′,c′)≃ΩM(a′,b′,c′)
for some triple (a′,b′,c′), and (2.5) asserts that a′+b′=0 or a′c′=0.
Now we use (4.1) and have to distinguish the three cases (1), (2) and (4).
Case (1) means that a′+b′=0 and a′=0, then ΩM(a′,b′,c′)≃M(ω(a′,b′,c′)) and the first component of ω(a′,b′,c′) is a′, thus
non-zero. But then M(ω(a′,b′,c′)) cannot be isomorphic to M(0,b,c).
Case (4) means that a′=0 and b′=0. Then ΩM(a′,b′,c′)≃M(0,1,0),
thus not isomorphic to M(0,b,c) with bc=0. Finally, there is the
case (2) with a′+b′=0 and a′c′=0. Then ΩM(a′,b′,c′)≃M(0,0,1),
again not isomorphic to M(0,b,c) with bc=0.
In all cases, we get a contradiction.
\hfill□
(6.5) Proposition. If M is equal to
M(0,1,0) or M(0,0,1), then M is torsionless and the module ℧M has
Loewy length 3. Since ℧M is indecomposable and non-projective, it is not torsionless.
Proof.
The modules M of the form M(0,1,0) and M(0,0,1) are torsionless, since
(4.1), (4) and (2)
assert that M(0,1,0)≃ΩM(0,1,0) and that M(0,0,1)≃ΩM(1,−1,1).
According to (5.2), in both cases there is no inclusion map M→Λ which is
an add(Λ)-approximation. Thus, a minimal left
add(Λ)-approximation of M is an injective map M→Λt
with t≥2. This shows that ℧M has dimension 6t−3 and its top has dimension t.
According to Part I (3.2), ℧M is indecomposable and not projective.
The Loewy length of ℧M has to be 3. [Namely,
an indecomposable module with Loewy length at most 2 and top of dimension t≥2
has dimension at most 4t−1, since it is a proper factor module of
Λt. But 6t−3≤4t−1 implies t≤1, a contradiction.]
An indecomposable non-projective module of Loewy
length 3 cannot be torsionless.
\hfill□
(6.6) We finish this section by reformulating the results concerning the modules of
the form M(0,b,c) in terms of Ω℧-components. Here,
we will exhibit the structure of all the Ω℧-components containing
modules of the form
M(0,b,c). We have to distinguish between
the modules M(0,1,0) and M(0,0,1) and the modules M(0,b,c) with bc=0, thus
lying on the dashed line A′={(0:b:c)∣bc=0}:
[TABLE]
The modules in A′ are singletons (that is,
components of type A1) in the Ω℧-quiver. And, there are
the following two Ω℧-components of the form A2:
[TABLE]
(If M is an indecomposable module,
then we represent [M] in the Ω℧-quiver usually just by a circle ∘.
We use a bullet ∙ in case we know
that M is torsionless and extensionless, a black square ■
in case we know that M
is extensionless, but not torsionless; and a black lozenge ⧫ in case we know
that M is torsionless, but not extensionless.)
7. The modules M(1,b,c) and proof of Theorem (1.5).
We consider now the affine subspace H of P2
given by the points (1:b:c) with b,c∈k and the corresponding
modules M(1,b,c). We recall that o(q) denotes the multiplicative order of q.
(7.1) We have seen in (4.2) that Ω provides a bijection from the set of modules M(1,b,c) with b=−1 onto the set of modules M(1,b′,c′) with b′=−q.
The sections 5 and 6 strengthen this bijection as follows:
If b=−1, then the exact sequence
[TABLE]
with (1,b′,c′)=ω(1,b,c) is an Ω℧-sequences (here, (1,b′,c′)
is an arbitrary triple with b′=−q, and (1,b,c)=ω′(1,b′,c′)).
We obtain in this way
all the Ω℧-sequences involving modules of the form
M(1,b,c).
(7.2) Reformulation.
The neighborhood of M(1,b,c) in the Ω℧-quiver
looks as follows:
[TABLE]
and M(1,b,c) is a singleton in the Ω℧-quiver if q=1 and b=−1.
(7.3)
The module
M(1,b,c) is semi-Gorenstein-projective if and only if b=−qt
for all t≤0.
The module
M(1,b,c) is ∞-torsionfree if and only if b=−qt
for all t≥1.
Proof: M(1,b,c) is semi-Gorenstein-projective if and only if ωs(1,b,c)∈/E
for all s≥0. Since ωs(1,b,c)=(1,qsb,cs) for some cs∈k,
we see that M(1,b,c) is semi-Gorenstein-projective if and only if 1+qs=0
for all s≥0, thus if and only if q−s=−b for all s≥0. Write t=−s.
Similarly, M(1,b,c) is ∞-torsionfree if and only if
ω−s(1,b,c)∈/T for all s≥0, thus if and only if 1+q−1q−sb=0
for all s≥0, if and only if −b=qs+1 for all s≥0. Write t=s+1.
\hfill□
Corollary. The module
M(1,b,c) is Gorenstein-projective if and only if b=−qt for all t∈Z.
(7.4) Any module M(1,0,c) with c∈k is Gorenstein-projective with
Ω-period 1 or 2.
Proof. According to (6.2), the modules M(1,0,c) are extensionless
and torsionless. Since ω(1,0,c)=(1,0,−c), we see that M(1,0,0)
has Ω-period 1, and M(1,0,c) with c=0 has Ω-period 2
in case the characteristic of k is different from 2, otherwise its
Ω-period is also 1. \hfill□
(7.5) Proposition. If o(q)=∞, then any module of the form M(1,b,c)
is semi-Gorenstein-projective or ∞-torsionfree (whereas the
modules of the form M(0,b,c) are never semi-Gorenstein-projective nor ∞-torsionfree).
Proof. The first assertion follows immediately from (7.3), the additional assertion
in the bracket is a consequence of (5.1), (6.4) and (6.5).
\hfill□
(7.6) Proposition.
If M(1,b,c) belongs to an Ω℧-component of the
form An, then o(q)=n.
Proof. We consider an Ω℧-component of type An, say containing
a module M which is not torsionless.
Since M belongs to T, we have M=M(1,−q,c)
and the component consists of the modules M, ΩM, …, Ωn−1M.
In particular, ωn−1(1,−q,c) belongs to E.
Now Ωn−1M=M(ωn−1(1,−q,c))=M(1,−qn,c′) for some c′.
Since Ωn−1M is not extensionless, (1,−qn,c′) belongs to E,
thus −qn=−1. This shows that qn=1. Finally, for 1≤t<n, we have
qt=1, since otherwise ωt−1(1,−q,c) would belong to E. \hfill□
Corollary. If o(q)=∞, then
all the Ω℧-components in H are cycles or of type Z,
or −N, or N.
Thus, any module in H is semi-Gorenstein-projective or
∞-torsionfree.
For o(q)=∞, there are the following
Ω℧-components of the form −N and N:
[TABLE]
with arbitrary elements
c0,d1∈k and ct+1=−1−qt1ct for t≥1, whereas
dt+1=−(1−q−t)dt for t≥0.
Of course, (1,−q,c1)∈T and (1,−1,d0)∈E, thus the module M(1,−q,c1) is pivotal
semi-Gorenstein-projective, whereas M(1,−1,d0) is pivotal
∞-torsionfree.
(7.7) The case that q has finite multiplicative order.
Now let o(q)=n<∞. Then the modules M(1,−qt,c) with 0≤t<n and c∈k
belong to Ω℧-components of the form An.
These Ω℧-components look as follows:
[TABLE]
with an arbitrary element
c1∈k and ct+1=−1−qt1ct for 1≤t<n (of course,
(1,−1,cn)∈E and (1,−q,c1)∈T).
Corollary (7.3) asserts that the
remaining modules M(1,b,c) (those with −b∈/qZ)
are Gorenstein-projective.
(7.9) Proof of Theorem (1.5).
Torsionless modules:
According to (2.7), an indecomposable torsionless module is isomorphic to a
left ideal. Of course, k is torsionless. According to (2.2),
a 2-dimensional indecomposable left ideal is isomorphic to
Λ(x−y) or Λz.
According to (2.3), a 3-dimensional indecomposable torsionless module has to be
local, thus it is
of the form M(a,b,c), and (6.1) says that a(a+q−1b)=0 or else
M(a,b,c) is equal to M(0,1,0) or to M(0,0,1).
Extensionless modules: We show:
An indecomposable module M of dimension at most 3
with simple socle is not extensionless.
Of course, Ext1(k,Λ)=0, since otherwise we would have Ext1(X,Λ)=0
for all modules X.
Let I be an indecomposable module of length 2. A projective cover of I as an
Λ-module provides an exact sequence
0→k2→Λ→I→0. We apply
HomΛ(−,J), where J=radΛ.
We obtain the exact sequence
[TABLE]
Now, dimHomΛ(I,J)≥dimHomΛ(k,J)=2,
dimHomΛ(Λ,J)=dimJ=5, and
finally
dimHomΛ(k2,J)=4, thus
dimExtΛ1(I,J)≥1. This shows that there exists
a non-split
exact sequence ϵ0→J@>u>>E→I→0 with some Λ-module E.
The inclusion map ιJ→Λ yields an induced exact sequence
ϵ′0→Λ→E′→I→0. Assume that
ϵ′ splits. Then we
obtain a map vE→Λ such that vu=ι. Now E is an Λ-module,
thus of Loewy length at most 2. Therefore vE→Λ maps into radΛ=J,
thus v=ιv′ for some v′E→J. But ιv′u=vu=ι implies that
v′u is the identity map of E, thus ϵ splits, a contradiction. The exact sequence
ϵ′ shows that ExtΛ1(I,Λ)=0. Thus I is not extensionless.
A similar proof shows that Ext1(V,Λ)=0 for any 3-dimensional module V with
simple socle. Again, we use that V is an Λ-module (see (1.3) Proposition 1),
thus we start with an exact sequence 0→k5→Λ2→V→0.
This completes the proof that an indecomposable module M of dimension at most 3
with simple socle is not extensionless. The remaining indecomposable modules of dimension
at most 3 are the modules of the form M(1,b,c). According to (5.1) M(1,b,c)
is extensionless if and only if b=−1.
Reflexive modules: We recall from Part I that a module M is reflexive if and only if both M and
℧M are
torsionless. We show:
A module M with simple socle is not reflexive.
Assume that M has simple socle and is torsionless. Since M has simple
socle, there is an embedding M→ΛΛ, say with cokernel Q.
The elements yx and zx
cannot both belong to u(M), since the socle of u(M) is simple. If yx∈/u(M), then
yxQ=0, otherwise zxQ=0.
Let fM→ΛΛt be a minimal left
add(Λ)-approximation; its cokernel
is ℧M.
There is u′ΛΛt→Λ with u′f=u. The map u′ has to be
surjective, since otherwise u′ would vanish on the socle of ΛΛt.
This implies that the map ℧M→Q induced by u′ is also surjective.
Since ℧M is indecomposable, non-projective and not annihilated by rad2Λ,
℧M cannot be torsionless.
Let us assume that M is reflexive and dimM≤3. It follows that M has to be a torsionless
module with dimM=3.
Since also ℧M has to be torsionless, (6.5) shows that the cases M(0,1,0) and M(0,0,1) are
not possible, thus M is of the form M(1,b,c) with b=−q. Using (6.2) and (6.1),
we see that we also must have b=−q2. Conversely, the same references show that all the
modules M(1,b,c) with b=−qi for i=1,2 are reflexive.
Semi-Gorenstein-projective and ∞-torsionfree modules.
The semi-Gorenstein-projective modules are extensionless, the ∞-torsionfree
modules are reflexive. The previous considerations therefore show that we only have to consider
the modules of the form M(1,b,c). (7.3) provides the conditions on b so that
M(1,b,c) is semi-Gorenstein-projective, ∞-torsionfree, or
Gorenstein-projective.
If M(1,b,c) is pivotal semi-Gorenstein-projective, then M(1,b,c) is not
torsionless, thus b=−q. If M(1,−q,c) is semi-Gorenstein-projective, then
−q=−q−s for all s≥0, thus qs+1=1 for all s≥0. This means
that o(q)=∞. Of course, there is also the converse: if o(q)=∞,
then M(1,−q,c) is pivotal semi-Gorenstein-projective.
A similar argument shows that M(1,b,c) is pivotal ∞-torsionfree
if and only if o(q)=∞ and b=−1.
\hfill□
Remark. It seems worthwhile to note that the set of modules M(1,b,c) with
b,c∈k is a union of Ω℧-components.
8. Right modules.
Recall that we write U′(a,b,c) instead of U(a,b,c), if we consider U(a,b,c)
as a right ideal and that M′(a,b,c)=ΛΛ/U′(a,b,c).
(8.1) Proposition. Let (a,b,c)=0. Then
[TABLE]
Proof. We have ΩM′(a,b,c)=U′(a,b,c)Λ. According to (2.8),
U′(a,b,c)Λ=(a,b,c)Λ if a=0 or bc=0, and U′(0,1,0)=yΛ⊕zxΛ, U′(0,0,1)=zΛ⊕yxΛ.
Consider the map πΛΛ→U′(a,b,c)
defined by π(1)=(a,b,c). We assume that a=0 or bc=0, thus π
is surjective. If a=0, the formula (3.1) (3) asserts that ω′(a,b,c)
is in the kernel of π, thus π yields an epimorphism
M′(ω′(a,b,c))=ΛΛ/ω′(a,b,c)Λ→U′(a,b,c).
Since this is a map between 3-dimensional modules, it has to be an isomorphism.
If a=0 and bc=0, we use formula (3.1) (4) in order to get similarly
an isomorphism M′(0,0,1)=ΛΛ/(0,0,1)Λ→U′(0,b,c).
\hfill□
(8.2) If a 3-dimensional indecomposable right module N is torsionless
and no embedding N→ΛΛ is a left add(ΛΛ)-approximation,
then ℧N has Loewy length 3 and is not torsionless.
Proof. Let ϕN→ΛΛt be a minimal left
add(ΛΛ)-approximation of N. Since N is torsionless,
ϕ is a monomorphism. By assumption, we must have t≥2.
It follows that the cokernel ℧N of ϕ is an indecomposable
right Λ-module of length 6t−3 with top of length t.
But an indecomposable right Λ-module of Loewy length at most 2
with top of length t≥2 is a right Λ-module
of length at most 4t−1. Thus 6t−3≤4t−1, therefore 2t≤2, thus
t≤1, a contradiction. This shows that ℧N has Loewy length equal to 3.
Of course, ℧N is not projective. Since
an indecomposable non-projective torsionless right Λ-module has
Loewy length at most 2, we see that ℧N cannot be torsionless.
\hfill□
(8.3) The right modules M′(0,b,c).
The only right module of the form M′(0,b,c) which is torsionless is M′(0,0,1).
The right module ℧M′(0,0,1) has
Loewy length 3 and thus it is not torsionless.
No right module of the form M′(0,b,c) is extensionless.
Proof. Let N=M′(0,b,c).
(a) If N is torsionless, then b=0 (thus (0:b:c)=(0:0:1)).
Namely, According to (2.9), M′(0,b,c) arises as a right ideal and (8.1) shows that
this happens only for b=0.
(b) No embedding M′(0,0,1)→ΛΛ is a
left add(ΛΛ)-approximation.
Proof. Let ϕM′(0,0,1)→ΛΛ be an embedding. According to (2.9),
the image of ϕ is of the form U′(0,b,c) with bc=0.
Now M′(0,0,1) has a factor module isomorphic to (0,0,1)Λ,
thus there is fM′(0,0,1)→ΛΛ with image (0,0,1)Λ.
If ϕ is a left add(ΛΛ)-approximation, then
there exists f′:ΛΛ→ΛΛ with f=f′ϕ.
The homomorphism f′ is the left multiplication by some element
λ in Λ. If λ belongs to radΛ, then
the image of f′ϕ is contained in rad2Λ=socΛ.
If λ is invertible, then the image of f′ϕ is 3-dimensional.
In both cases, we get a contradiction, since the image of f is (0,0,1)Λ,
thus 2-dimensional and not contained in socΛ.
(c) It follows from (8.2) that ℧M′(0,0,1) has Loewy length 3 and is
not torsionless.
(d) A right module of the form M′(0,b,c) is never extensionless: either
ΩM′(0,b,c) is decomposable, or else ΩM′(0,b,c)=M′(0,0,1) and
according to (b), no embedding M′(0,0,1)→ΛΛ
is a left add(ΛΛ)-approximation.
\hfill□
Reformulation. The right
modules M′(0,1,c) are singletons in the Ω℧-quiver.
The right
module M′(0,0,1) belongs to an Ω℧-component of the form A2:
[TABLE]
(8.4) The right modules M′(1,b,c) with c=0.
Proposition. Let c=0.
The right module M′(1,b,c) is torsionless if and only if b=−1, and
then ℧M′(1,b,c)=M′(ω(1,b,c)).
Let c′=0.
The right module M′(1,b′,c′) is extensionless if and only if b′=−q, and then
ΩM′(1,b′,c′)=M′(ω′(1,b′,c′)).
Remark. If b=−1 and c=0, then ω(1,b,c)=(1,b′,c′)
with b′=−q and some c′=0.
If b′=−q, then ω′(1,b′,c′)=(1,b,c) with b=−1 and some c=0.
Thus, the proposition provides Ω℧-sequences
[TABLE]
with b=−1 and b′=−q (and both c,c′ being non-zero).
Any triple (1,b,c) with b=−1 and c=0 occurs on the left
and given (1,b,c), then we have (1,b′,c′)=ω(1,b,c) on the right.
Any triple (1,b′,c′) with b′=−q and c′=0 occurs on the right
and given (1,b′,c′), then we have (1,b,c)=ω′(1,b′,c′) on the left.
Proof of Proposition. We follow closely the proof of (5.1) and (6.1). We always assume that
c=0. As in (5.2) one sees that M′(1,b,c) is extensionless if and only if
the image of every homomorphism U′(1,b,c)→ΛΛ is contained in
U′(1,b,c).
(a) The module M′(1,−q,c) is not extensionless. Proof. According to (8.1),
we have U′(1,−q,c′)≃ΩM′(1,−q,c′)≃M′(ω′(1,−q,c′))=M′(1,−1,0)
for all c′∈k. Thus, there is a homomorphism
U′(1,−q,0)→ΛΛ with image U′(1,−q,0) and
this image U′(1,−q,0) is not contained in U′(1,−q,c).
(b) If b=−q, then the module M′(1,b,c) is extensionless. For the
proof, we need three assertions (b1), (b2) (b3).
Note that (8.1) asserts that U′(1,b,c)≃ΩM′(1,b,c)≃M′(ω′(1,b,c))=M′(1,q−1b,c′), where ω′(1,b,c)=(1,q−1b,c′).
(b1) The only right ideal isomorphic to U′(1,b,c) is U′(1,b,c) itself.
Proof. Let V be a right ideal of ΛΛ which is isomorphic to U′(1,b,c),
say V=U′(a′′,b′′,c′′) for some triple (a′′,b′′,c′′).
By (8.1), we have U(a′′,b′′,c′′)≃ΩM′(a′′,b′′,c′′)=M′(a′′,q−1b′′,d),
where ω′(a′′,b′′,c′′)=(a′′,q−1b′′,d)
for some d. We must have a′′=0, since M(a′′,q−1b′′,d)≃U′(1,b,c)≃M′(1,q−1b,c′). Thus, we may assume that a′′=1 and then
M′(1,q−1b′′,d)≃M′(1,q−1b,c′) implies that (1,q−1b′′,d)=(1,q−1b,c′).
In particular, we have b′′=b=−q. The equality
ω′(1,b′′,c′′)=ω′(1,b,c) yields (1,b′′,c′′)=(1,b,c), see Proposition (3.2).
Therefore V=U(1,b′′,c′′)=U(1,b,c).
(b2) The right ideal zΛ is not a factor module of U′(1,b,c).
Proof. The right ideal zΛ is annihilated by x−y and z, thus Corollary (5.3)
asserts that the image I of any homomorphism M′(1,b′,c′)→zΛ
is a factor module of Λ/((1,b,c)Λ+(x−y)Λ+zΛ).
Now (x+by+cz)Λ+(x−y)Λ+zΛ=radΛ, since b=−1,
thus I is simple or zero.
(b3) The right ideal yΛ is not a factor module of U′(1,b,c).
Proof. The right ideal yΛ is annihilated by y and z, thus Corollary (5.3)
asserts that the image I of any homomorphism M′(1,b′,c′)→yΛ
is a factor module of Λ/((1,b,c)Λ+yΛ+zΛ).
Now (x+by+cz)Λ+yΛ+zΛ=radΛ, since b=−1,
thus I is simple or zero.
The assertions (b1), (b2) and (b3) show: if ϕ is any homomorphism
U′(1,b,c)→ΛΛ and its image I is of dimension at least 2, then
I is contained in U′(1,b,c). Of course, if I is 1-dimensional, then I is
contained in socΛΛ and socΛΛ⊆U′(1,b,c). Thus,
we have obtained a proof of (b). In addition, (8.1) asserts that
ΩM′(1,b,c)≃M′(ω′(1,b,c)).
(c) If b=−1, then M′(1,b,c) is torsionless and ℧M′(1,b,c)=M′(ω(1,b,c)). Proof. Let ω(1,b,c)=(1,b′,c′). Then b′=qb=−q,
and ω′(1,b′,c′)=ω′ω(1,b,c)=(1,b,c) by Proposition (3.2). According to
(8.1), we have ΩM′(1,b′,c′)≃M′(ω′(1,b′,c′))=M′(1,b,c).
This shows that M′(1,b,c) is torsionless.According to (b), the module M′(ω(1,b,c)) is extensionless, thus ℧M′(1,b,c)=M′(1,b′,c′)=M′(ω(1,b,c)).
(d) The modules M′(1,−1,c) are not torsionless. Proof. Assume, for the contrary, that
M′(1,−1,c) is torsionless, thus isomorphic to U′(a′,b′,c′) for some (a′,b′,c′).
According to (8.1), we must have a′=0, thus we can assume that a′=1,
and (1,−1,c)=ω′(1,b′,c′)=(1,q−1b′,−(1+q−1b′)c′). It follows that
b′=−q and therefore c=−(1+q−1b′)c′=0, a contradiction.
This completes the proof of (8.4). \hfill□
Reformulation.
The neighborhood of M′(1,b,c) with c=0 in the Ω℧-quiver
looks as follows:
[TABLE]
and M′(1,b,c) is a singleton in the Ω℧-quiver if
q=1 and b=−1.
Note that we want to use a fixed index set P2 both for the
(left) modules M(a:b:c)
and the right modules M′(a:b:c), Since we have drawn the dashed arrows in
the Ω℧-quiver of the left Λ-modules from right to left, we
now have drawn the dashed arrows in the Ω℧-quiver of the right
Λ-modules from left to right.
As in section 7, we see that the Ω℧-components of the modules
M′(1,b,c) with c=0 are cycles, or of type Z,N or −N
in case o(q)=∞, and cycles or of type Z or An in case
o(q)=n<∞.
For o(q)=∞, the right modules M′(1,−1,c)
with c=0 are pivotal semi-Gorenstein-projective, and the right modules
M′(1,−q,c) with c=0 are pivotal ∞-torsionfree.
(8.5) The right modules M′(1,b,0).
The right modules M′(1,b,0) have been considered already in Part I: these are just
the right ideals mαΛ, where mα=x−αy. Namely, we have
[TABLE]
for all b∈k. (Proof: We have M′(1,b,0)=ΛΛ/U′(1,b,0)=ΛΛ/(x+by)Λ≃(x+qby)Λ, where we use that (x+qby)(x+by)=0 and that
both right ideals (x+by)Λ
and (x+qby)Λ are 3-dimensional, see (2.8).)
Let us recall the results presented in Part I using the present notation:
If b∈/−qZ, then M′(1,b,0) is Gorenstein-projective and its
Ω℧-component looks as follows:
[TABLE]
In particular, if o(q)=n, then these Ω℧-components are cycles with n vertices, whereas for o(q)=∞, one obtains Ω℧-components of type
Z.
For o(q)=∞, there are three remaining Ω℧-components:
[TABLE]
These Ω℧-components are of type N,A2 and −N, respectively.
For 2≤n=o(q)<∞, there are two remaining Ω℧-components,
one is of type A2, the other of type An:
[TABLE]
In case q=1,
there is only one additional Ω℧-component (of type A2), namely
[TABLE]
(8.6) Similar to Theorem (1.5), here is the summary which characterizes the right modules of dimension at most 3 with relevant properties.
Theorem. An indecomposable right module N of dimension at most 3 is
*∙ *torsionless if and only if N is simple or isomorphic to yΛ, to zΛ,
to a module M′(1,b,c) with b=−1, to M′(1,−1,0) or to M′(0,0,1).
*∙ *extensionless if and only if N is isomorphic to a module M′(1,b,c)
with b=−q;
*∙ *reflexive if and only if M is isomorphic to a module M′(1,b,c) with
b=−qi for i=−1,0;
*∙ *Gorenstein-projective if and only if N is isomorphic to a module
M′(1,b,c) with b=−qi for i∈Z;
*∙ *semi-Gorenstein-projective if and only if N is isomorphic to
a module M′(1,b,c) with b=−qi for i≥0 or to
a module M′(1,−1,c) with c=0;
∙ ∞-torsionfree if and only if N is isomorphic to
a module M′(1,b,c) with b=−qi for i≤0;
*∙ *pivotal semi-Gorenstein-projective if and only if o(q)=∞ and
N is isomorphic to a module M′(1,−1,c) with c=0;
*∙ *pivotal ∞-torsionfree if and only if o(q)=∞ and
N is isomorphic to a module M′(1,−q,c).
\hfill□
Whereas the set of modules M(1,b,c) with
b,c∈k is a union of Ω℧-components, the right modules behave differently:
as we have seen already in Part I, 7.2,
the Ω℧-component containing the right module M(1,−1,0) consists of
M(1,−1,0) and the 9-dimensional right module ℧M(1,−1,0).
9. The Λ-dual of M(1,b,c) and
M′(1,b,c).
We need the following (of course well-known) Lemma.
(9.1) Lemma. Let R be a ring and w∈R. If any
left-module homomorphism Rw→RR
maps w into wR, then Hom(Rw,RR)≃wR as right R-modules.
Proof. Let uRw→RR be the inclusion map.
We have Hom(Rw,RR)=uR, since for any homomorphism fRw→RR, there
is λ∈R with f(w)=wλ, thus f=uλ.
Now I={r∈R∣wr=0} is a right ideal and RR/I≃wR
as right modules (an isomorphism is given by the map
RR→wR defined by 1↦w). Since I={r∈R∣ur=0}, we have in the same way RR/I≃uR, and therefore
wR≃RR/I≃uR=Hom(Rw,RR).
\hfill□
(9.2) Lemma. If (1,b,c) is different from (1,−1,0), then M′(1,b,c)≃TrM(1,b,c) and M(1,b,c)≃TrM′(1,b,c).
Proof. We have U′(1,b,c)=(1,b,c)Λ, and since (1,b,c)=(1,−1,0), we also
have U(1,b,c)=Λ(1,b,c).
By definition, M(1,b,c)=ΛΛ/U(1,b,c), thus
M(1,b,c) is the cokernel of the right multiplication
r(1,b,c)ΛΛ→ΛΛ and
TrM(1,b,c) is the cokernel of the left multiplication
l(1,b,c)ΛΛ→ΛΛ,
thus isomorphic to ΛΛ/(1,b,c)Λ=ΛΛ/U′(1,b,c).
\hfill□
(9.3) Proposition.
If b∈/{−q,−q2}, then M(1,b,c) is reflexive and
[TABLE]
*If b∈/{−1,−q−1}, then M′(1,b,c) is reflexive and *
[TABLE]
Proof. According to (7.1), we have the following two Ω℧-sequences:
[TABLE]
(the first one, since ω′(1,b,c)=(1,b′,c′) with b′=q−1b=−1;
the second one, since (ω′)2(1,b,c)=(1,b′′,c′′) with b′′=q−2b=−1)
This implies that M(1,b,c) is reflexive and that
X=℧2M(1,b,c)=M((ω′)2(1,b,c)) is a module with Exti(X,Λ)=0 for
i=1,2. According to Part I, Lemma 2.5, we have TrX=(Ω2X)∗.
On the one hand, Ω2X=Ω℧M(1,b,c)=M(1,b,c).
On the other hand, (9.2) shows that
TrX=TrM((ω′)2(1,b,c))=M′((ω′)2(1,b,c)), since
(ω′)2(1,b,c)=(1,q−2b,c′′) for some c′′ and q−2b=−1.
This yields the first assertion.
The second can be shown in the same way, or just by applying
the Λ-duality to M(1,b,c)∗=M′((ω′)2(1,b,c)).
\hfill□
(9.4) Proposition. For all b,c∈k,
[TABLE]
In particular, for all b,c∈k, the right module M(1,b,c)∗ is again 3-dimensional
and local.
Whereas (ω′)2 is a bijection from {(1,b,c)∣b∈/{−q,−q2}} onto
{(1,b,c)∣b∈/{−1,−q−1}}, we should stress that (ω′)2(1,−q,c)=(1,−q−1,0) and that (ω′)2(1,−q2,c)=(1,−1,0) for all c∈k. Thus,
(9.3) combines the first assertion of (9.2) with the corresponding assertion
for the remaining cases, namely:
[TABLE]
for all c∈k.
Proof of Proposition. According to (9.2), we only have to consider the cases where
b=−q or b=−q2.
Case 1. Let b=−q.
As we have seen in (6.2), the module M(1,−q,c) is not torsionless.
Now obviously, there is a surjective homomorphism M(1,−q,c)→Λ(1,−1,0)
with kernel zM(1,−q,c). It follows that zM(1,−q,c) is contained in the kernel
of every homomorphism M(1,−q,c)→ΛΛ and therefore
M(1,−q,c)∗=(Λ(1,−1,0))∗. Now,
(Λ(1,−1,0))∗≃(1,−1,0)Λ=U′(1,−1,0),
as shown in Part I, 6.5.
On the other hand, according to (8.1), we have
U′(1,−1,0)=ΩM′(1,−1,0)=M′(ω′(1,−1,0)) and
ω′(1,−1,0)=(1,−q−1,0).
Case 2: b=−q2 and o(q)=2.
The assumption o(q)=2 means that q=−1=1, in particular,
the characteristic of k is different from 2, and we have b=−1.
Since q=−1 and the characteristic of k is different from 2,
(4.1) asserts that
[TABLE]
On the other hand, we have
[TABLE]
We claim that any homomorphism Λ(1,1,−2c)→ΛΛ maps
(1,1,−2c) into (1,1,−2c)Λ. Namely, let ϕΛ(1,1,−2c)→ΛΛ be a homomorphism.
Now Λ(1,1,−2c) is 3-dimensional, thus equal to U(1,1,−2c),
and ΛΛ/U(1,1,−2c)≃M(1,1,−2c). According to (5.1), the module
M(1,1,−2c) is extensionless, since 1+1=0. The implication (i) to (iv)
in (5.2) shows that ϕ(1,1,−2c)∈(1,1,−2c)Λ.
Since any homomorphism Λ(1,1,−2c)→ΛΛ maps
(1,1,−2c) into (1,1,−2c)Λ, Lemma (9.0) implies that the right modules
(Λ(1,1,−2c))∗ and (1,1,−2c)Λ are isomorphic, thus
M(1,−1,c)∗≃M′(1,−1,0).
Case 3. b=−q2 and o(q)≥3.
There is the Ω℧-sequence
[TABLE]
for some c′ (here we use that q2=1).
The Λ-dual of ϵ is the exact sequence
[TABLE]
Since q2=1, proposition (9.3) asserts that
M(1,−q3,c′)∗=M′(1,−q,c′′) for some c′′. Altogether we see that
[TABLE]
where the final isomorphism is due to (8.1).
\hfill□
(9.5) The algebra Λ=Λ(q) with o(q)=∞ was exhibited in Part I in order to present
a module M which is
not torsionless, such that M and M∗ both are semi-Gorenstein-projective:
namely the module M=M(1,−q,0) with M∗=M′(1,−q,0).
Now we see: all the modules M(1,−q,c) with c∈k are modules which are
semi-Gorenstein-projective and not torsionless, and that the
Λ-duals M(1,−q,c)∗≃M′(1,−q−1,0) are semi-Gorenstein-projective.
We should stress that this concerns a 1-parameter family M(1,−q,c) (with c∈k)
of semi-Gorenstein-projective left modules, and the single semi-Gorenstein-projective
right module M(1,−q−1,0).
(9.6) Proposition. Let b,c∈k.
[TABLE]
Whereas we saw in (9.4) that all the right modules M(1,b,c)∗ are 3-dimensional and local,
not all the modules M′(1,b,c)∗ are 3-dimensional and local: the module
M′(1,−1,0)∗=U(1,−q,0)+U(0,0,1) has dimension 4, whereas the modules
M′(1,−1,c)∗=U(0,0,1) for c=0
and, in case q=1, the module M′(1,−q−1,0)∗=U(1,−1,0) are decomposable.
Proof. According to (9.3), we only have to deal with the cases with b∈{−1,−q−1}.
If c=0, then we can refer to Part I.
For b=−1, the end of 7.1 in Part I shows that M′(1,−1,0)∗≃M(1,−q2,0)∗∗≃U(1,−q,0)+U(0,0,1). For b=−q−1=−1, the end of 6.7 in Part I asserts that
M′(1,−q−1,0)∗≃(M(1,−q,0)∗∗≃ΩM(1,−1,0)≃U(1,−1,0).
Now, we assume that c=0. As in the proof of (9.4), we consider again 3 cases.
Case 1. b=−1.
The module M′(1,−1,c) with c=0 is not torsionless, see (8.4). Since
the factor module M′(1,−1,c)/M′(1,−1,c)z is isomorphic to (0,0,1)Λ,
it follows that M′(1,−1,c)∗≃((0,0,1)Λ)∗ and an easy calculation yields
((0,0,1)Λ)∗≃U(0,0,1). Namely,
the inclusion map uzΛ→ΛΛ satisfies yu=0 and zu=0,
thus a basis of (zΛ)∗ is given by u, xu and the map fzΛ→ΛΛ with f(z)=yx, so that (zΛ)∗≃ΛΛ/(Λy+Λz)⊕k≃U(0,0,1).
Case 2. b=−q−1 and o(q)=2.
Thus, the characteristic of k is different from 2, q=−1 and b=1.
The module M′(1,1,c) is torsionless: namely, by (8.1) we have
M′(1,1,c)≃ΩM′(1,−1,−2c), since ω′(1,−1,−2c)=(1,1,c).
Now, ΩM′(1,−1,−2c)≃U′(1,−1,2c)=(1,−1,2c)Λ.
Since q=1, the right module
M′(1,−1,−2c) is extensionless by (8.4), thus we can use
(5.2) and (9.1) in order to see that ((1,−1,2c)Λ)∗≃Λ(1,−1,2c).
By (4.1) (2), we have Λ(1,−1,2c)=U(1,−1,2c)≃ΩM((1,−1,−2c))≃M(0,0,1).
Case 3. b=−q−1 and o(q)≥3.
There is the Ω℧-sequence
[TABLE]
for c′=λc with λ=0
(here we use that q2=1). The Λ-dual is the exact sequence
[TABLE]
We assume that q=1 and q=2. Then by Proposition (9.2), we have
M′(1,−q−2,c′)∗=M(1,−1,c′′) for some multiple c′′=λ′c′ with
λ′=0. It follows that
M′(1,−q−1,c)∗=ΩM(1,−1,c′′) and c′′=0 if and only if c=0. By (4.1),
we have ΩM(1,−1,c′′)=M(0,0,1) in case c=0, and
ΩM(1,−1,0)=U(1,−1,0) in case c=0. \hfill□
(9.7) Corollary. Let N be a right Λ-module of dimension at
most 3 which is semi-Gorenstein-projective, but not Gorenstein-projective.
Then N∗ is not semi-Gorenstein-projective.
Proof.
According to (8.6), N is isomorphic to a right module of the form M′(1,−qi,c)
with i≤−1 and c∈k or of the form M′(1,−1,c) with c=0. We
apply (9.6).
If i≤−2, then N∗=M′(1,−qi,c)∗=M(1,−qi+2,c′) for some c′,
and according to (1.5), N∗ is not semi-Gorenstein-projective, since i+2≤0.
If i=−1, then N∗ is isomorphic to M(0,0,1) or to U(1,−1,0).
If N=M′(1,−1,c) with c=0, then N∗ is isomorphic to U(0,0,1).
But by (1.5), M(0,0,1), U(1,−1,0) and U(0,0,1) are not semi-Gorenstein-projective.
\hfill□
10. The general context.
Our detailed study of the algebra Λ(q) in Part I and Part II should
be seen in the frame of looking at Gorenstein-projective (or, more general,
semi-Gorenstein-projective and ∞-torsionfree modules) over short local
algebras.
Let A be a finite-dimensional local k-algebra with radical J such that
A/J=k. Such an algebra is said to be short provided J3=0.
In commutative ring theory, the short local algebras have attracted a lot of
interest, since some conjectures have been disproved by
looking at modules over short algebras, see [AIŞ] for a corresponding account.
Let us assume now that A is short, but not necessarily commutative.
Let e=dimJ/J2 and a=dimJ2
(thus 0≤a≤e2). If there exists an indecomposable module which is
semi-Gorenstein-projective or ∞-torsionfree,
but not projective, then either A is self-injective,
so that a≤1 (and e=1 in case a=0), or else a=e−1 and
J2=socAA=socAA.
Of course, if A is self-injective, then all
modules are Gorenstein-projective, thus the interesting case is the case a=e−1.
Our algebra Λ(q) is of this kind (with a=2), as is the Jorgensen-Şega
algebra [JŞ] (with a=3).
Not only the shape of the algebras is very
restricted, also the modules themselves are very special: Let A be a short local algebra
which is not self-injective. Let M be indecomposable and not projective.
If M is semi-Gorenstein-projective and torsionless, or if M is ∞-torsionfree,
(in particular, if M is Gorenstein-projective),
then socM=radM and dimsocM=a⋅dimtopM (by definition,
topM=M/socM). Also, if M is semi-Gorenstein-projective and torsionless, then
dimΩiM=dimM for all i∈N, whereas
if M is ∞-torsionfree, then dim℧iM=dimM for all i∈N.
These assertions have been shown by Christensen
and Veliche in the case that A is commutative, see [CV], but actually the proofs
do not have to be modified in the general case. There is an essential
difference between the commutative and the non-commutative algebras: If A is
commutative, then all local modules which are semi-Gorenstein-projective or
∞-torsionfree are Gorenstein-projective, whereas this is not true for A
non-commutative. For a general discussion, we refer to [RZ2] (and we have to thank D.
Jorgensen for his advice concerning the present knowledge in the commutative case).
Thus, for our algebra Λ(q), the non-projective
indecomposable modules which are semi-Gorenstein-projective and torsionless,
or which are ∞-torsionfree, are
of dimension 3t with socle of dimension 2t, where t=dimtopM.
For t=1, we deal with local modules with 2-dimensional socle: these are
precisely the modules studied in the present paper.
Appendix. A diagrammatic description of the modules M(a:b:c).
If M is a left Λ-module annihilated by rad2Λ, then
it is a left Λ-module. Since Λ is a commutative
k-algebra, also D(M)=Hom(M,k) is a left Λ-module, thus
a left Λ-module.
Proposition. Let M be an indecomposable 3-dimensional left
Λ-module. Then M or D(M) is isomorphic to one of the
following pairwise non-isomorphic Λ-modules M(a,b,c):
[TABLE]
The diagrams describe the modules M=M(a,b,c) as follows:
The elements v,v1,v2 form a basis of M. Both elements v1,v2 are annihilated by
x,y,z. If there is drawn a solid arrow v
............................................................ vi with i∈{1,2} and with label α∈{x,y,z},
then αv=vi. If there is a dashed arrow v
........................................ vi with label α, then αv=c1v1+c2v2 with ci=0
(and we provide the coefficients c1,c2 below the diagram). Finally, zv=0 in case (1),
yv=0 in case (2), xv=0 in case (3).
The last column provides a characterization of the corresponding modules M(a,b,c):
For example, a local 3-dimensional Λ-module M is a case-(1)-module
provided zM=0, and so on.
Remark. If M is an indecomposable 3-dimensional Λ-module, then its annihilator is equal to U(a,b,c) for some (a,b,c)=0 and
M considered as a
Λ/U(a,b,c)-module is either the unique indecomposable projective
Λ/U(a,b,c)-module (and then a local module, thus isomorphic to
M(a,b,c)) or the unique indecomposable injective
Λ/U(a,b,c)-module (and then a module with simple socle, thus isomorphic to
D(M(a,b,c))).
Proof of the Proposition and the Remark. First, let us assume that M is local.
According to (2.6) and (1.4), we know that M≃M(a:b:c) for some
(a:b:c)∈P2 and that these modules are pairwise non-isomorphic.
As representatives of the elements of P2, we choose (as usual) the triples
(c1,c2,c3) with ci=1 for some i and cj=0 for j<i. Clearly, there
are the seven cases (1) to (7) as listed above.
It remains to choose in every case a basis
\CalB(a,b,c)={v,v1,v2} of M(a,b,c). Recall that
M(a,b,c)=Λ/(a:b:c) is a factor module of Λ
and Λ has the basis {1,x,y,z}.
We choose as elements of \CalB(a,b,c) the residue class v=1 as well as
two of the three residue classes
x,y,z, namely
v1=x if a=0 and v1=y otherwise, and then
v2=y in case (a,b,c)=(0,0,1) and v2=z otherwise.
(We should remark that the vertices and the arrows of the diagram are those
of the coefficient quiver Γ(M(a,b,c),\CalB(a,b,c)) as considered in [R],
and the solid arrows focus the attention to a spanning tree.)
Second, assume that M is not local. Since M is an indecomposable module of
length 3 and Loewy length 2, it follows that M has simple socle, thus D(M)
is local and therefore of the form (1) to (7).
Finally, M and D(M) have the same annihilator, this is a 3-dimensional ideal,
thus of the form U(a,b,c). The 3-dimensional local algebra Λ/U(a,b,c)
has a unique 3-dimensional local module, this is the indecomposable projective
Λ/U(a,b,c)-module, and dually, it has a unique 3-dimensional module
with simple socle, this is the unique indecomposable injective
Λ/U(a,b,c)-module.
This completes the proof.
