Let Λ be an artinian ring and let 𝔯 denote its Jacobson radical. We show that a simple module of finite projective dimension has no self-extensions when Λ is graded by its radical, with at most two simple modules and 𝔯⁴ = 0, in particular, when Λ is a finite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field with at most two simple modules and 𝔯³ = 0.
