Projective-simple coordinates and the Cartan matrix #
Let R be an Artinian ring, and choose exhaustive families (P i) and (S i) of pairwise
nonisomorphic indecomposable projective and simple modules, indexed so that P i is a projective
cover of S i. The corresponding bases of K₀(proj R) and G₀(mod R) are in perfect integral
pairing: pairing [P i] with [M] reads the Jordan--Hölder multiplicity [M : S i].
The matrix of the Cartan map in these bases therefore has entry
C i j = [P j : S i].
Thus columns record projectives in the simple basis. This convention is important for left modules: the row index is the simple module and the column index is the projective module.

The projective-simple multiplicity pairing #
The projective-simple multiplicity pairing. This is the coordinate-dual pairing between the
chosen projective and simple bases, indexed by the common type I, so pairing [P i] with a
module class reads its S i Jordan--Hölder coordinate.
It has its representation-theoretic meaning when P i is a projective cover of S i; the
construction itself only uses the common indexing, so no cover maps are required.

Instances For
Pairing with the class of P i is the Jordan--Hölder coordinate attached to S i.
On object classes, the projective-simple pairing is Jordan--Hölder multiplicity.
The selected projective and simple basis classes pair as a Kronecker delta.
For a finite indexing type, the integral projective-simple multiplicity pairing is perfect: it identifies either Grothendieck group with the integral dual of the other.
The Cartan matrix #
The Cartan matrix of the selected projective and simple families: the matrix of the Cartan
map K₀(proj R) → G₀(mod R) in the indecomposable-projective basis on the source and the
simple-class basis on the target. Rows are indexed by simples and columns by projectives.

Instances For
Cartan-matrix entries are composition multiplicities: the (i,j) entry is the
Jordan--Hölder multiplicity [P j : S i].
A Cartan-matrix entry is obtained by pairing the corresponding projective basis vector with the image under the Cartan map of the column projective.
Columns of the Cartan matrix are projective composition-factor vectors. The image of
[P j] under the Cartan map is the sum of the simple basis vectors with coefficients
[P j : S i].
