Universally reflexive algebras (Q1177256): Difference between revisions

Let \(R\) be a finite-dimensional algebra over a field \(K\). A left \(R\)- module \(M\) is called reflexive if every \(\varphi\in\text{End}_ K(M)\) which leaves invariant every \(R\)-submodule of \(M\) is a multiplication by an element of \(R\). It is proved that the following statements are equivalent: (i) Every left \(R\)-module is reflexive. (ii) If \(P\) is an indecomposable projective left \(R\)-module, then every epimorphic image of \(P\oplus P\) is reflexive. (iii) If \(P\) and \(Q\) are indecomposable projective left \(R\)-modules, then \(|\Hom_ R(P,Q): K|\leq 1\). (iv) \(| e_ i Re_ j|\leq 1\) for every pair of primitive orthogonal idempotents \(e_ i\) and \(e_ j\) of \(R\). (v) Every right \(R\)- module is reflexive.
