On the construction of ring extensions

Abstract
Let ∧ denote a basic artin ring and r its radical. In most of this paper we assume that r2 = 0 and that Λ is a trivial extension Λ/rr (see Section 1 for definition). Let P1 …, Pn be the non-isomorphic indecomposable projective (left) Λ-modules, and consider triples (Pi, Mi, ui), where the Mi, are (left) Λ-modules and ui:rPiMi/rMi isomorphisms. From this data we construct a new ring Г, which in “nice cases” has the property that r3 = 0, Г/r2 ≅ Λ, and rQiMi as (left) Λ-modules, where the Qi are the indecomposable projective (left) Г-modules and r′ is the radical of Г.
