On Stable Equivalence of Tensor Products of Algebras

The paper investigates the following problem. Let bimodules N, M yield a stable equivalence of Morita type between self-injective K-algebras A and E. Further, let bimodules S, T yield a stable equivalence of Morita type between self-injective K-algebras B and F. Then we want to know whether the functor M ? _A  ? ? _B S: mod(A ? _K B ^op ) → mod(E ? _K F ^op ) induces a stable equivalence between A ? _K B ^op and E ? _K F ^op . There is given a reduction of this problem to some smaller subcategories for self-injective algebras. Moreover, new invariants of stable equivalences of Morita type are constructed in a general case of arbitrary finite-dimensional algebras over a field.
