INJECTIVE REPRESENTATIONS OF QUIVERS

We prove that $M_1\longrightarrow^f\;M_2$ is an injective representation of a quiver $Q={\bullet}{\rightarrow}{\bullet}$ if and only if $M_1\;and\;M_2$ are injective left R-modules, $M_1\longrightarrow^f\;M_2$ is isomorphic to a direct sum of representation of the types $E_l{\rightarrow}0$ and $M_1\longrightarrow^{id}\;M_2$ where $E_l\;and\;E_2$ are injective left R-modules. Then, we generalize the result so that a representation$M_1\longrightarrow^{f_1}\;M_2\; \longrightarrow^{f_2}\;\cdots\;\longrightarrow^{f_{n-1}}\;M_n$ of a quiver $Q={\bullet}{\rightarrow}{\bullet}{\rightarrow}{\cdots}{\rightarrow}{\bullet}$ is an injective representation if and only if each $M_i$ is an injective left R-module and the representation is a direct sum of injective representations.
