Subdirect product of pairwise nonisomorphic simple modules

ID: subdirect-product-of-pairwise-nonisomorphic-simple-modules

Suppose the are pairwise nonisomorphic simple modules. Any submodule of their finite direct sum that projects onto every summand is the entire sum. Induct on . Projection onto the first factors is onto by induction. Its kernel is a submodule of , hence zero or all of . If zero, is isomorphic to the first factors but also has quotient , contradicting their distinct composition factors and the Jordan–Hölder theorem. Therefore the kernel is , proving the assertion. Consequently, if , the map is onto and gives as left modules. The annihilators of these vectors need only be left ideals.
