Let Λ be an artin algebra, and denote by mod Λ the category of finitely generated Λ-modules. All modules we consider are finitely generated.

We recall from [6] that a nonsplit exact sequence in mod A is said to be almost split if A and C are indecomposable, and given a map h: X → C which is not an isomorphism and with X indecomposable, there is some t: X → B such that gt = h.

Almost split sequences have turned out to be useful in the study of representation theory of artin algebras. Given a nonprojective indecomposable Λ-module C (or an indecomposable noninjective Λ-module A), we know that

there exists a unique almost split sequence [6, Proposition 4.3], [5, Section 3].
