The tensor product of Gorenstein-projective modules over category algebras

For a finite free and projective EI category, we prove that Gorenstein-projective modules over its category algebra are closed under the tensor product if and only if each morphism in the given category is a monomorphism.     

The rank of finitely generated modules over group algebras

We show the existence of a rank function on finitely generated modules over group algebras , where is an arbitrary field and is a finitely generated amenable group. This extends a result of W. Lück (1998).

     

A combinatorial classification of 2-regular simple modules for Nakayama algebras

Enomoto showed for finite dimensional algebras that the classification of exact structures on the category of finitely generated projective modules can be reduced to the classification of 2-regular simple modules. In this article, we give a combinatorial classification of 2-regular simple modules for Nakayama algebras and we use this classification to answer several natural questions such as when there is a unique exact structure on the category of finitely generated projective modules for Nakayama algebras. We also classify 1-regular simple modules, quasi-hereditary Nakayama algebras and Nakayama algebras of global dimension at most two. It turns out that most classes are enumerated by well-known combinatorial sequences, such as Fibonacci, Riordan and Narayana numbers. We first obtain interpretations in terms of the Auslander-Reiten quiver of the algebra using homological algebra, and then apply suitable bijections to relate these to combinatorial statistics on Dyck paths.     

Existence of critical modules of GK-dimension 2 over elliptic algebras

We show that over an elliptic algebra, critical modules of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension 2 exist in all multiplicities (assuming the ground field is uncountable, algebraically closed). Geometrically, this shows that in a quantum plane there exist ``irreducible curve" modules of all possible degrees.

     

On finitely injective modules and locally pure-injective modules over Prüfer domains

Over Matlis valuation domains there exist finitely injective modules which are not direct sums of injective modules, as well as complete locally pure-injective modules which are not the completion of a direct sum of pure-injective modules. Over Prüfer domains which are either almost maximal, or -local Matlis, finitely injective torsion modules and complete torsion-free locally pure-injective modules correspond to each other under the Matlis equivalence. Almost maximal Prüfer domains are characterized by the property that every torsion-free complete module is locally pure-injective. It is derived that semi-Dedekind domains are Dedekind.

     

Additivity of Jordan maps on triangular algebras

The aim of this article is to prove a result on the additivity of Jordan maps on triangular algebras. As a consequence the additivity of Jordan maps on upper triangular matrix algebras over a faithful commutative ring of 2-torsion free is determined.     

Universal Deformation Rings of Modules over Self-injective Cluster-Tilted Algebras Are Trivial

Let k be a fixed algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic,let Λ be a finite dimensional self-injective k-algebra,and let V be an indecomposable non-projective left Λ-module with finite dimension over k.We prove that if τΛV is the Auslander-Reiten translation of V,then the versal deformation rings R(Λ,V)and R(Λ,τΛV)(in the sense of F.M.Bleher and the second author)are isomorphic.We use this to prove that if Λ is further a cluster-tilted k-algebra,then R(Λ,V)is universal and isomorphic to k.     

Characterizing centralizers and generalized derivations on triangular algebras by acting on zero product

Let U = Tri(A,M,B) be a triangular ring, where A and B are unital rings, and M is a faithful (A, B)-bimodule. It is shown that an additive map Φ on U is centralized at zero point (i.e., Φ(A)B = AΦ(B) = 0 whenever AB = 0) if and only if it is a centralizer. Let δ : U → U be an additive map. It is also shown that the following four conditions are equivalent: (1) δ is specially generalized derivable at zero point, i.e., δ(AB) = δ(A)B + Aδ(B) Aδ(I)B whenever AB = 0; (2) δ is generalized derivable at zero point, i.e., there exist additive maps τ1 and τ2 on U derivable at zero point such that δ(AB) = δ(A)B + Aτ1 (B) = τ2 (A)B + Aδ(B) whenever AB = 0; (3) δ is a special generalized derivation; (4) δ is a generalized derivation. These results are then applied to nest algebras of Banach space.     

On simple modules of Hecke algebras of type Dn

This is a continuation of our previous work. We classify all the simple ℋ_q(D _n )-modules via an automorphismh defined on the set { λ | D^λ ≠ 0}. Whenf _n(q) ≠ 0, this yields a classification of all the simple ℋ ^q (D _n)- modules for arbitrary n. In general ( i. e., q arbitrary), if λ⁽¹⁾ = λ⁽²⁾,wegivea necessary and sufficient condition ( in terms of some polynomials ) to ensure that the irreducible ℋ_q,1(B _n )- module D^λ remains irreducible on restriction to ℋ_q(D _n ).     

Representations of Frobenius-type triangular matrix algebras

The aim of this paper is mainly to build a new representation-theoretic realization of finite root systems through the so-called Frobenius-type triangular matrix algebras by the method of reflection functors over any field. Finally, we give an analog of APR-tilting module for this class of algebras. The major conclusions contains the known results as special cases, e.g., that for path algebras over an algebraically closed field and for path algebras with relations from symmetrizable cartan matrices. Meanwhile, it means the corresponding results for some other important classes of algebras, that is, the path algebras of quivers over Frobenius algebras and the generalized path algebras endowed by Frobenius algebras at vertices.     

The ordinary quivers of Hochschild extension algebras for self-injective Nakayama algebras

Let T be a Hochschild extension algebra of a finite dimensional algebra A over a field K by the standard duality A-bimodule Hom_K(A, K). In this paper, we determine the ordinary quiver of T if A is a self-injective Nakayama algebra by means of the ?-graded second Hochschild homology group HH₂(A) in the sense of Sköldberg.     

On derived categories of modules over 2-vertex basic algebras

We investigate finite dimensional 2-vertex basic algebras of finite global dimension and the derived categories of modules over such algebras. We prove that any superrigid object in the derived category of modules over a “loop-kind” two-vertex algebra is a pure module up to the action of Serre functor and translation. All superrigid objects in the derived categories of modules over two-vertex algebras of global dimension 2 are described. Also we obtain a complete classification of two-vertex basic algebras possessing a full exceptional pair in the derived category of modules.     

On the equivalence of codes over rings and modules

In light of the result by Wood that codes over every finite Frobenius ring satisfy a version of the MacWilliams equivalence theorem, a proof for the converse is considered. A strategy is proposed that would reduce the question to problems dealing only with matrices over finite fields. Using this strategy, it is shown, among other things, that any left MacWilliams basic ring is Frobenius. The results and techniques in the paper also apply to related problems dealing with codes over modules.     

Square-zero derivations of matrix algebras over commutative rings

Let R be a commutative ring with identity, M _n (R) the R-algebra consisting of all n by n matrices over R. In this article, for n ≥ 5 we classify linear maps φ from M _n (R) into itself satisfying φ(x)x + xφ(x) = 0 whenever x ² = 0. We call such maps as square-zero derivations.     

The grothendieck group of the category of modules of finite projective dimension over certain weakly triangular algebras

In this paper we study the category of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension over a class of weakly triangular algebras, which includes the algebras whose idempotent ideals have finite projective dimension. In particular, we prove that the relations given by the (relative) almost split sequences generate the group of all relations for the Grothendieck group of P ^<∞(Λ) if and only if P ^<∞(Λ) is of finite type. A similar statement is known to hold for the category of all finitely generated modules over an artin algebra, and was proven by C.M.Butler and M. Auslander ( [B] and [A]).
