Artinian modules over a matrix ring

From MaRDI portal





This short paper concerns modules over the subring \(\Lambda\) of two-by-two matrices over the rationals with \(0\) in top right entry, \(\mathbb{Z}\) in bottom right, and the other entries from \(\mathbb{Q}\). It is shown that the Krull-Schmidt theorem fails for Artinian left \(\Lambda\)-modules, and that there are cyclic Artinian left \(\Lambda\)-modules which are not Noetherian. As the authors observe: ``It was known that both phenomena are impossible over commutative or Noetherian rings and the fact that they can be realised over such a small ring ... is rather surprising. The proof goes by constructing a category equivalence with a suitable subcategory of the category of torsion free Abelian groups of finite rank. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0945.00021].
