Determination of some almost split sequences in morphism categories (Q6170749)

There has been an increasing interest in the monomorphism category of a ring. This interest comes from several origins among which of proposing to consider the embeddings of a subgroup of a given abelian group. Links to other areas of algebra such as determination of invariant subspaces of linear operators and Gorenstein homological algebra have also been identified. In contrast to the monomorphism category, i.e., submodule category, the morphism category itself has not been the target of many considerations. Almost split sequences lie in the heart of Auslander-Reiten theory. This paper explores the structure of almost split sequences with certain ending terms in the morphism category of an Artin algebra \(\Lambda\). R. Hafezi and H. Eshraghi try to interpret the Auslander-Reiten translates of particular objects in the morphism category in terms of the Auslander-Reiten translations within the category of \(\Lambda\)-modules, and then use them to calculate almost split sequences. In classical representation theory of algebras, it is important to recognize the midterms of almost split sequences. As such, another aspect of the paper is devoted to discuss the midterm of certain almost split sequences in the morphism category of \(\Lambda\). As an application, the authors restrict in the last part of the paper to self-injective algebras and present a structural theorem that illuminates a link between representation-finite morphism categories and Dynkin diagrams.
