From splitting lemma, we know in $R$-Mod Category, short exact sequence
$0 to A stackrelfrightarrow B stackrelgrightarrow C to0$ splits
if it satisfies one of the following equivalent conditions:



$(1) exists f_1intextHom(B,A)text s.t. f_1circ f=textId_A$.
$(2) exists g_1intextHom(C,B)text s.t. gcirc g_1=textId_C$.



$(3) textIm f=textKer g$ is direct summand of $B$.



$(4) exists text isomorphism h:Bto A oplus C text s.t. $



$h circ f text is natural injection and g circ h^-1 text is natural projection.$



And $0 to A stackrelfrightarrow B stackrelgrightarrow C to0$ splits $implies Bcong A oplus C$.



If we only have $Bcong A oplus C$, is there any example for
$0 to A to B to C to0$ doesn't split?

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and let
$$beginequationlabeleq:ses0to Ato Bto Cto 0tag*endequation$$
be a short exact sequence of modules of finite length over $R$. We show that if $Bcong Aoplus C$, then $eqrefeq:ses$ splits.



Since $Bcong Aoplus C$, we have that $$newcommandHomoperatornameHomHom_R(C,B)congHom_R(C,A)oplusHom_R(C,C).$$
Hence $$ell(Hom_R(C,B))=ell(Hom_R(C,A))+ell(Hom_R(C,C))$$ where $ell$ denotes length.



Write $f:Bto C$ for the map in $eqrefeq:ses$. Apply $Hom_R(C,-)$ to the sequence $eqrefeq:ses$.



From the left exactness of $Hom_R(C,-)$, we obtain the exact sequence
$$0to Hom_R(C,A)to Hom_R(C,B)to Hom_R(C,C),$$
where the map $f_* : Hom_R(C,B)to Hom_R(C,C)$ is given by $gmapsto fcirc g$.



Let $N$ denote the cokernel of $f_*$, which evidently has finite length. It follows that
$$0to Hom_R(C,A)to Hom_R(C,B)to Hom_R(C,C)to N to 0$$
is exact, and hence that $ell(N)=0$.



Hence $f_*$ is surjective, which shows that the sequence $eqrefeq:ses$ splits.



Here ring $R$ is commutative to make Hom$_R(C, - )$ a $R$-module.

$$0to Hom_R(C,A)to Hom_R(C,B)to Hom_R(C,C)to N to 0$$
is exact, and hence that $ell(N)=0$.



Hence $f_*$ is surjective, which shows that the sequence $eqrefeq:ses$ splits.



Here ring $R$ is commutative to make Hom$_R(C, - )$ a $R$-module.

    The proof only needs that the hom spaces have finite length, so the result holds in any hom-finite abelian category. In particular, this includes coherent sheaves on a projective $k$-scheme, for a field $k$.
