Finite-dimensional minimal injective copresentations #
Every finite-dimensional module over a finite-dimensional algebra admits a minimal injective
copresentation 0 → M → Q₀ → Q₁ with finite-dimensional injective terms. The first term is an
injective envelope of M, and the second is an injective envelope of its cokernel. Together with
uniqueness of minimal copresentations, this provides the first two terms of a minimal injective
resolution, as needed for the inverse Auslander–Reiten construction Tr D.
Both injective terms can be taken in the universe of the field and algebra, independently of
the universe of M. No algebraic closedness or self-injectivity assumption is required.
