DEFINITION. The Auslander-Reiten translate <strong>of</strong> a left A-module X is<br />

1 - 1 1<br />

X = DExt (X,A). We also define X = Ext (DX,A) Ext (DA,X).<br />

If 0 ¡ L ¡ M ¡ N ¡ 0 is an exact sequence then since A is hereditary there<br />

are l<strong>on</strong>g exact sequences<br />

0 ¡ L ¡ M ¡ N ¡ L ¡ M ¡ N ¡ 0<br />

- - - - - -<br />

0 ¡ L ¡ M ¡ N ¡ L ¡ M ¡ N ¡ 0.<br />

LEMMA 1. Hom(Y,<br />

X) DExt (X,Y) Hom(<br />

(Thus<br />

is left adjoint to )<br />

PROOF. Let 0 ¡ P ¡ Q ¡ X ¡ 0 be a projective resoluti<strong>on</strong>. The sequence<br />

Q ¡ X ¡ P ¡ Q<br />

is exact, and Q=0, so we have a commutative diagram with exact rows<br />

0 ¡ Hom(Y, X) ¡ Hom(Y, P) ¡ Hom(Y, Q)<br />

1<br />

0 ¡ DExt (X,Y) ¡ DHom(P,Y) ¡ DHom(Q,Y)<br />

1<br />

and hence Hom(Y, X) DExt (X,Y). The other isomorphism is dual.<br />

LEMMA 2. Let X be indecomposable.<br />

(1) If X is n<strong>on</strong>-projective then Hom(X,P)=0 for P projective, and<br />

-<br />

X X.<br />

(2) If X is n<strong>on</strong>-injective then Hom(I,X)=0 for I injective, and<br />

-<br />

X X.<br />

PROOF OF (1). If ¤ :X ¡ P is n<strong>on</strong>-zero, then Im(¤ ) is projective since A is<br />

hereditary. Now X ¢ Im(¤ ) is epi, so Im(¤ ) is summand <strong>of</strong> X. But X is<br />

indecomposable so X Im(¤ ), a c<strong>on</strong>tradicti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Let 0 ¡ P ¡ Q ¡ X ¡ 0 be a projective resoluti<strong>on</strong>. Now<br />

0 ¡ X ¡ P ¡ Q ¡ X<br />

is exact, and X=0 since Hom(X,A)=0. Thus we have a commutative diagram<br />

P ¡ Q ¡ X ¡<br />

P ¡ Q ¡ X ¡ 0<br />

with exact rows. Since P is injective,<br />

P=0, and hence X X.
