The representation dimension of domestic weakly symmetric algebras

Auslander’s representation dimension measures how far a finite dimensional algebra is away from being of finite representation type. In [1], M. Auslander proved that a finite dimensional algebra A is of finite representation type if and only if the representation dimension of A is at most 2. Recently, R. Rouquier proved that there are finite dimensional algebras of an arbitrarily large finite representation dimension. One of the exciting open problems is to show that all finite dimensional algebras of tame representation type have representation dimension at most 3. We prove that this is true for all domestic weakly symmetric algebras over algebraically closed fields having simply connected Galois coverings.     

Cartan matrices of selfinjective algebras of tubular type

The Cartan matrix of a finite dimensional algebra A is an important combinatorial invariant reflecting frequently structural properties of the algebra and its module category. For example, one of the important features of the modular representation theory of finite groups is the nonsingularity of Cartan matrices of the associated group algebras (Brauer’s theorem). Recently, the class of all tame selfinjective algebras having simply connected Galois coverings and the stable Auslander-Reiten quiver consisting only of stable tubes has been shown to be the class of selfinjective algebras of tubular type, that is, the orbit algebras /G of the repetitive algebras of tubular algebras B with respect to the actions of admissible groups G of automorphisms of . The aim of the paper is to describe the determinants of the Cartan matrices of selfinjective algebras of tubular type and derive some consequences.     

Cartan determinants for gentle algebras

The determinant of the Cartan matrix of a finite dimensional algebra is an invariant of the derived category and can be very helpful for derived equivalence classifications. In this paper we determine the determinants of the Cartan matrices for all gentle algebras. This is a class of algebras of tame representation type which occurs naturally in various places in representation theory. The definition of these algebras is of a purely combinatorial nature, and so are our formulae for the Cartan determinants.Received: 29 October 2004     

Chebyshev polynomials on symmetric matrices

In this paper we evaluate Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind on a class of symmetric integer matrices, namely on adjacency matrices of simply laced Dynkin and extended Dynkin diagrams. As an application of these results we explicitly calculate minimal projective resolutions of simple modules of symmetric algebras with radical cube zero that are of finite and tame representation type.     

Lie algebras graded by finite root systems and intersection matrix algebras

This paper classifies the Lie algebras graded by doubly-laced finite root systems and applies this classification to identify the intersection matrix algebras arising from multiply affinized Cartan matrices of types B,C,F, and G. This completes the determination of the Lie algebras graded by finite root systems initiated by Berman and Moody who studied the simply-laced finite root systems of rank ≧2.

On Schur algebras and related algebras V: some quasi-hereditary algebras of finite type

In a recent paper, Erdmann determined which of the Schur algebras S(n, r) have finite representation type and described the finite type Schur algebras up to Morita equivalence. The present paper grew out of a desire to see Erdmann's results in the more general context of algebras which are quasi-hereditary in the sense of Cline et al. (1988). Weconsider here the class of quasi-hereditary algebras which have a duality fixing simples. This class includes the “generalized Schur algebras” defined and studied by the first author, and the Schur algebras themselves in particular. In the first part we describe the possible Morita types of the quasi-hereditary algebras of finite representation type over an algebraically closed field with duality fixing simples. This is then applied, in the second part, to give the block theoretic refinement of Erdmann's results.     

Representation type of Jordan algebras

The problem of classification of Jordan bimodules over (non-semisimple) finite dimensional Jordan algebras with respect to their representation type is considered. The notions of diagram of a Jordan algebra and of Jordan tensor algebra of a bimodule are introduced and a mapping Qui is constructed which associates to the diagram of a Jordan algebra J the quiver of its universal associative enveloping algebra S(J). The main results are concerned with Jordan algebras of semi-matrix type, that is, algebras whose semi-simple component is a direct sum of Jordan matrix algebras. In this case, criterion of finiteness and tameness for one-sided representations are obtained, in terms of diagram and mapping Qui, for Jordan tensor algebras and for algebras with radical square equals to 0.     

The Gabriel-Roiter measure

The first Brauer-Thrall conjecture asserts that algebras of bounded representation type have finite representation type. This conjecture was solved by Roiter in 1968. The induction scheme which he used in his proof prompted Gabriel to introduce an invariant which we propose to call Gabriel-Roiter measure. This invariant is defined for any finite length module and it will be studied in detail in this paper. Whereas Roiter and Gabriel were dealing with algebras of bounded representation type only, it is the purpose of the present paper to demonstrate the relevance of the Gabriel-Roiter measure for algebras in general, in particular for those of infinite representation type.     

Hochschild cohomology for self-injective algebras of tree class D n . I

The minimal projective bimodule resolution is constructed for algebras in a family of self-injective algebras of finite representation type with tree class D_n. Using this resolution, we calculate the dimensions of the Hochschild cohomology groups for the algebras under consideration. The described resolution is periodic, and thus the Hochschild cohomology of these algebras is periodic as well.

The dimension vectors of indecomposable modules of cluster-tilted algebras and the Fomin-Zelevinsky denominators conjecture

The main result of this paper is that any two non-isomorphic indecomposable modules of a cluster-tilted algebra of finite representation type have different dimension vectors. As an application to cluster algebras of Types A,D,E, we give a proof of the Fomin-Zelevinsky denominators conjecture for cluster variables, namely, different cluster variables have different denominators with respect to any given cluster.     

On Borcherds type Lie algebras

For each even lattice \({\mathcal L}\), there is a canonical way to construct an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra via lattice vertex operator algebra theory, we call this Lie algebra and its subalgebras the Borcherds type Lie algebras associated to \({\mathcal L}\). In this paper, we apply this construction to even lattices arising from representation theory of finite-dimensional associative algebras. This is motivated by the different realizations of Kac-Moody algebras by Borcherds using lattice vertex operators and by Peng-Xiao using Ringel-Hall algebras respectively. For any finite-dimensional algebra \(A\) of finite global dimension, we associate a Borcherds type Lie algebra \(\mathfrak {BL}(A)\) to \(A\). In contrast to the Ringel-Hall Lie algebra approach, \(\mathfrak {BL}(A)\) only depends on the symmetric Euler form or Tits form but not the full representation theory of \(A\). However, our results show that for certain classes of finite-dimensional algebras whose representation theory is ’controlled’ by the Euler bilinear forms or Tits forms, their Borcherds type Lie algebras do have close relations with the representation theory of these algebras. Beyond the class of hereditary algebras, these algebras include canonical algebras, representation-directed algebras and incidence algebras of finite prinjective types.     

GRADED RINGS OF LOCAL FINITE REPRESENTATION TYPE

Abstract

Graded Artin algebras whose category of graded modules is locally of finite representation type are introduced. The representation theory of such algebras is studied. In the hereditary case and in the stably equivalent to hereditary case, such algebras are classified.     

Auslander algebras Of finite representation type

In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for Auslander-Reiten quivers to be of finite representation type. If an algebra is standard this gives necessary and sufficient conditions for Auslander algebras to be of finite representation type.     

Representation Dimension and Quasi-hereditary Algebras

We study Auslander's representation dimension of Artin algebras, which is by definition the minimal projective dimension of coherent functors on modules which are both generators and cogenerators. We show the following statements: (1) if an Artin algebra A is stably hereditary, then the representation dimension of A is at most 3. (2) If two Artin algebras are stably equivalent of Morita type, then they have the same representation dimension. Particularly, if two self-injective algebras are derived equivalent, then they have the same representation dimension. (3) Any incidence algebra of a finite partially ordered set over a field has finite representation dimension. Moreover, we use results on quasi-hereditary algebras to show that (4) the Auslander algebra of a Nakayama algebra has finite representation dimension.     

Affine cellular algebras

Graham and Lehrer have defined cellular algebras and developed a theory that allows in particular to classify simple representations of finite dimensional cellular algebras. Many classes of finite dimensional algebras, including various Hecke algebras and diagram algebras, have been shown to be cellular, and the theory due to Graham and Lehrer successfully has been applied to these algebras.We will extend the framework of cellular algebras to algebras that need not be finite dimensional over a field. Affine Hecke algebras of type A and infinite dimensional diagram algebras like the affine Temperley–Lieb algebras are shown to be examples of our definition. The isomorphism classes of simple representations of affine cellular algebras are shown to be parameterised by the complement of finitely many subvarieties in a finite disjoint union of affine varieties. In this way, representation theory of non-commutative algebras is linked with commutative algebra. Moreover, conditions on the cell chain are identified that force the algebra to have finite global cohomological dimension and its derived category to admit a stratification; these conditions are shown to be satisfied for the affine Hecke algebra of type A if the quantum parameter is not a root of the Poincaré polynomial.     

Ideals of identities of representations of nilpotent lie algebras

Let L be a Lie algebra, nilpotent of class 2, over an infinite field K, and suppose that the centre C of L is one dimensional; such Lie algebras are called Heisenberg algebras. Let ρ:L→hom _KV be a finite dimensional representation of the Heisenberg algebra L such that ρ(C) contains non-singular linear transformations of V, and denote l(ρ) the ideal of identities for the representation ρ. We prove that the ideals of identities of representations containing I(ρ) and generated by multilinear polynomials satisfy the ACC. Let sl ₂(L) be the Lie algebra of the traceless 2×2 matrices over K, and suppose the characteristic of K equals 2. As a corollary we obtain that the ideals of identities of representations of Lie algebras containing that of the regular representation of sl ₂(K) and generated by multilinear polynomials, are finitely based. In addition we show that one cannot simply dispense with the condition of multilinearity. Namely, we show that the ACC is violated for the ideals of representations of Lie algebras (over an infinite field of characteristic 2) that contain the identities of the regular representation of sl ₂(K).     

The self-injective cluster-tilted algebras

We are going to determine the self-injective cluster-tilted algebras. All are of finite representation type and special biserial. There are two different classes. The first class are the self-injective serial (or Nakayama) algebras with n ≥ 3 simple modules and Loewy length n–1. The second class of algebras has an even number 2m of simple modules; m indecomposable projective modules have length 3, the remaining m have length m + 1. Received: 28 May 2007     

Vertex representation of quantum N-toroidal algebra for type F4

Abstract

Recently Gao-Jing-Xia-Zhang defined the structures of quantum N-toroidal algebras uniformally, which are a kind of natural generalizations of the classical quantum toroidal algebras, just like the relation between 2-toroidal Lie algebras and N-toroidal Lie algebras. Based on this work, we construct a level-one vertex representation of quantum N-toroidal algebra for type F₄. In particular, we can also obtain a level-one vertex representation of quantum toroidal algebra for type F₄ as our special cases.
