TL;DR

This paper establishes criteria for the minimal Horseshoe Lemma to hold using quasi-δ-Koszul modules, the nongraded analogues of δ-Koszul modules introduced by Green and Marcos. It proves that a module is quasi-Koszul if and only if the minimal Horseshoe Lemma holds for all short exact sequences ending in that module, providing a homological characterization via projective resolutions and Jacobson radical filtrations.

ABSTRACT

In this paper, the criteria for minimal Horseshoe Lemma to be true are given via quasi-$δ$-Koszul modules, which are the nongraded version of $δ$-Koszul modules first introduced by Green and Marcos in 2005. Moreover, some applications of minimal Horseshoe Lemma are also given.

Motivation & Objective

• To determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the minimal Horseshoe Lemma to hold in the context of nongraded modules.
• To introduce and study quasi-δ-Koszul modules as the nongraded version of δ-Koszul modules.
• To characterize modules for which the minimal Horseshoe Lemma applies via projective resolutions and radical filtrations.
• To apply the minimal Horseshoe Lemma to derive homological properties of modules over semiperfect Noetherian rings.

Proposed method

• Define quasi-δ-Koszul modules as the nongraded analogue of δ-Koszul modules, generalizing the Koszul property to non-graded settings.
• Use projective covers and Jacobson radical filtrations to construct minimal projective resolutions for finitely generated modules over semiperfect Noetherian rings.
• Apply the functor $ R/J igotimes_R - $ to a commutative diagram of projective resolutions to analyze the structure of the associated graded modules.
• Use the 3×3 Lemma on the resulting diagram to deduce monomorphisms in homology, establishing the minimal Horseshoe Lemma's validity.
• Prove that a module $ N $ is quasi-Koszul if and only if the minimal Horseshoe Lemma holds for all short exact sequences ending in $ N $, using the monomorphism condition on $ heta_{i+1} $ and $ ho_i $.
• Leverage Lemma 3.3 to relate $ Jigcap ext{radical filtrations} $ with higher syzygies, ensuring the injectivity of induced maps in the diagram.

Experimental results

Research questions

• RQ1 Under what conditions does the minimal Horseshoe Lemma hold for a given short exact sequence of modules?
• RQ2 What is the nongraded analogue of δ-Koszul modules, and how does it relate to the minimal Horseshoe Lemma?
• RQ3 How can the minimal Horseshoe Lemma be characterized via projective resolutions and radical filtrations in semiperfect Noetherian rings?
• RQ4 What homological properties are implied by the validity of the minimal Horseshoe Lemma for a module?
• RQ5 Is there a characterization of modules for which the minimal Horseshoe Lemma holds in terms of their syzygy modules and Jacobson radical structure?

Key findings

• A module $ N $ is quasi-Koszul if and only if the minimal Horseshoe Lemma holds for all short exact sequences ending in $ N $, establishing a biconditional characterization.
• The map $ heta_{i+1} $ induced by the projective cover is a monomorphism for all $ i \geq 0 $, which is a key step in proving the minimal Horseshoe Lemma.
• The 3×3 Lemma applied to the diagram after applying $ R/J \otimes_R - $ implies that $ \eta_{i+1} $ is a monomorphism, confirming the minimal Horseshoe Lemma's validity.
• The condition $ J\Omega^{i+1}(N) = \Omega^{i+1}(N) \cap J^2 Q_i $ holds for all $ i \geq 0 $, which is equivalent to $ N $ being quasi-Koszul.
• The map $ \vartheta_i $ is a monomorphism for all $ i \geq 0 $, derived from Lemma 3.3, which is essential in the 3×3 Lemma argument.
• The minimal Horseshoe Lemma holds if and only if the induced maps in the diagram after tensoring with $ R/J $ are monomorphisms, providing a homological criterion.
