Abstract

IfFqis the finite field of characteristicpand orderq=ps, let F(q) be the category whose objects are functors from finite dimensionalFq-vector spaces toFq-vector spaces, and with morphisms the natural transformations between such functors.A fundamental object in F(q) is the injectiveIFqdefined byIFq(V)=FqV*=S*(V)/(xq−x).We determine the lattice of subobjects ofIFq. It is the distributive lattice associated to a certain combinatorially defined poset I(p,s) whoseqconnected components are all infinite (with one trivial exception). An analysis of I(p,s) reveals that every proper subobject of an indecomposable summand ofIFqis finite. ThusIFqis Artinian.FilteringIFqand I(p,s) in various ways yields various finite posets, and we recover the main results of papers by Doty, Kovács, and Krop on the structure ofS*(V)/(xq) overFq, andS*(V) overF̄p.
