Tensoring a short exact sequence of representations #
Tensoring with a fixed representation M is right exact, but not exact in general. This file
records that a short exact sequence of representations which is split as a sequence of
k-modules stays short exact after tensoring on the left with M: the k-linear retraction of
the first map survives tensoring and keeps the tensored first map injective, while right
exactness of the tensor product supplies exactness and the surjectivity of the last map. The
dimension-shifting sequences through the modules induced and coinduced from the trivial subgroup
are of this kind. Tensoring with a representation whose underlying module is flat over k
preserves every short exact sequence.
