Let $mathfrakg$ be a complex reductive Lie algebra. Let $M,N,L$ be finite dimensional $mathfrakg$-modules.



Suppose $M$ is a quotient of $N$ and $N$ is a quotient of $L$.



My question: Is $M$ a quotient of $L$?

If $q: L twoheadrightarrow M$ is the canonical quotient map for $M$, and $p: M twoheadrightarrow N$ is the canonical quotient map, then $pq: L to N$ is surjective, and thus $N cong L / mathrmker(pq)$.



Note that this did not use any structure of $mathfrakg$ or the finite-dimensionality of the modules $L$, $M$, and $N$; it follows only from the fact that if $varphi: A twoheadrightarrow B$ is a surjective morphism of "modules," then $B cong A / mathrmker(varphi)$. This is true for abelian groups, and a "module" of any kind should be an abelian group with extra structure. In fact, this fact is true* in any abelian category, which are the most general categories of modules.
