Finite-quiver socle quotient conjecture for Leavitt path algebras

Let QQ be a finite quiver, let Q^\widehat{Q} denote its Kronecker square, and let LK(Q)L_{\mathbb K}(Q) be the Leavitt path algebra over a field K\mathbb K. Let Soc(LK(Q^))\operatorname{Soc}(L_{\mathbb K}(\widehat{Q})) be its socle, let Pl(Q)\overline{\mathop{\rm P}_l(Q)} be the hereditary saturated closure of the point-line vertices of QQ, and let QPl(Q)Q\setminus\overline{\mathop{\rm P}_l(Q)} be the quiver obtained by removing that closure. Finite-quiver socle quotient conjecture. There exists a short exact sequence

Soc(LK(Q^))LK(Q^)LK(QPl(Q))GLK(QPl(Q)),\operatorname{Soc}(L_{\mathbb K}(\widehat{Q}))\hookrightarrow L_{\mathbb K}(\widehat{Q})\twoheadrightarrow L_{\mathbb K}(Q\setminus\overline{\mathop{\rm P}_l(Q)})\otimes_G L_{\mathbb K}(Q\setminus\overline{\mathop{\rm P}_l(Q)}),

or, equivalently,

LK(Q^)Soc(LK(Q^))LK(QPl(Q))GLK(QPl(Q)).\frac{L_{\mathbb K}(\widehat{Q})}{\operatorname{Soc}(L_{\mathbb K}(\widehat{Q}))}\cong L_{\mathbb K}(Q\setminus\overline{\mathop{\rm P}_l(Q)})\otimes_G L_{\mathbb K}(Q\setminus\overline{\mathop{\rm P}_l(Q)}).

For finite quivers the transfinite socle collapses to the ordinary socle, yielding this finite form of the preceding conjecture.
