On the Auslander–Reiten conjecture for Cohen–Macaulay rings and path algebras

In this note, it is shown that the validity of the Auslander–Reiten conjecture for a given d-dimensional Cohen–Macaulay local ring R depends on its validity for all direct summands of d-th syzygy of R-modules of finite length, provided R is an isolated singularity. Based on this result, it is shown that under a mild assumption on the base ring R, satisfying the Auslander–Reiten conjecture behaves well under completion and reduction modulo regular elements. In addition, it will turn out that, if R is a commutative Noetherian ring and 𝒬 a finite acyclic quiver, then the Auslander–Reiten conjecture holds true for the path algebra R𝒬, whenever so does R. Using this result, examples of algebras satisfying the Auslander–Reiten conjecture are presented.     

Constructing tilted algebras from cluster-tilted algebras

Any cluster-tilted algebra is the relation extension of a tilted algebra. Given the distribution of a cluster-tilting object in the Auslander–Reiten quiver of the cluster category, we present a method to construct all tilted algebras whose relation extension is the endomorphism ring of this cluster-tilting object.     

Auslander–Reiten components with bounded short cycles

We study Auslander–Reiten components of an artin algebra with bounded short cycles, namely, there exists a bound for the depths of maps appearing on short cycles of non-zero non-invertible maps between modules in the given component. First, we give a number of combinatorial characterizations of almost acyclic Auslander–Reiten components. Then, we shall show that an Auslander–Reiten component with bounded short cycles is obtained, roughly speaking, by gluing the connecting components of finitely many tilted quotient algebras. In particular, the number of such components is finite and each of them is almost acyclic with only finitely many DTr-orbits. As an application, we show that an artin algebra is representation-finite if and only if its module category has bounded short cycles. This includes a well known result of Ringel’s, saying that a representation-directed algebra is representation-finite.     

Tilting and cluster tilting for quotient singularities

We shall show that the stable categories of graded Cohen–Macaulay modules over quotient singularities have tilting objects. In particular, these categories are triangle equivalent to derived categories of finite dimensional algebras. Our method is based on higher dimensional Auslander–Reiten theory, which gives cluster tilting objects in the stable categories of (ungraded) Cohen–Macaulay modules.     

On The Number of Simple and Projective Modules in the Quasi-Tubes of Self-Injective Algebras

We establish a bound on the number of simple and projective modules in the quasi-tubes of the Auslander–Reiten quivers of finite dimensional self-injective algebras over a field.     

Tilting Theory and Functor Categories I. Classical Tilting

Tilting theory has been a very important tool in the classification of finite dimensional algebras of finite and tame representation type, as well as, in many other branches of mathematics. Happel (1988) and Cline et al. (J Algebra 304:397–409 1986) proved that generalized tilting induces derived equivalences between module categories, and tilting complexes were used by Rickard (J Lond Math Soc 39:436–456, 1989) to develop a general Morita theory of derived categories. On the other hand, functor categories were introduced in representation theory by Auslander (I Commun Algebra 1(3):177–268, 1974), Auslander (1971) and used in his proof of the first Brauer–Thrall conjecture (Auslander 1978) and later on, used systematically in his joint work with I. Reiten on stable equivalence (Auslander and Reiten, Adv Math 12(3):306–366, 1974), Auslander and Reiten (1973) and many other applications. Recently, functor categories were used in Martínez-Villa and Solberg (J Algebra 323(5):1369–1407, 2010) to study the Auslander–Reiten components of finite dimensional algebras. The aim of this paper is to extend tilting theory to arbitrary functor categories, having in mind applications to the functor category Mod (mod_Λ), with Λ a finite dimensional algebra.     

Cotorsion pairs generated by modules of bounded projective dimension

We apply the theory of cotorsion pairs to study closure properties of classes of modules with finite projective dimension with respect to direct limit operations and to filtrations. We also prove that if the ring is an order in an ℵ₀-noetherian ring Q of little finitistic dimension 0, then the cotorsion pair generated by the modules of projective dimension at most one is of finite type if and only if Q has big finitistic dimension 0. This applies, for example, to semiprime Goldie rings and to Cohen Macaulay noetherian commutative rings.

τ-Categories III: Auslander Orders and Auslander–Reiten Quivers

We study the relationship between representation theoretic properties and homological properties of orders. We show that there is a close relationship among Auslander orders, τ-categories and Auslander regular rings. As an application, we give a combinatorial characterization of finite Auslander–Reiten quivers of orders. Presented by K.

Derived Equivalences for Triangular Matrix Rings

We generalize derived equivalences for triangular matrix rings induced by a certain type of classical tilting module introduced by Auslander, Platzeck and Reiten to generalize reflection functors in the representation theory of quivers due to Bernstein, Gelfand and Ponomarev.     

On Trivial Extensions of 2-Fundamental Algebras #

There are considered trivial extensions of minimal 2-fundamental algebras. It is shown that if the Auslander–Reiten quiver Γ _A of a minimal 2-fundamental algebra A contains a starting component or an ending component which is not generalized standard, then the Auslander–Reiten quiver Γ _T(A) of the trivial extension T(A) of A contains also a component that is not a generalized standard.     

Approximation Presentations of Modules and Homological Conjectures

In this article we give a sufficient condition of the existence of 𝕎 ^t -approximation presentations. We also introduce property (W ^k ). As an application of the existence of 𝕎 ^t -approximation presentations we give a connection between the finitistic dimension conjecture, the Auslander–Reiten conjecture, and property (W ^k ).     

Relative syzygies and grade of modules

Recently, Takahashi established a new approximation theory for finitely generated modules over commutative Noetherian rings, which unifies the spherical approximation theorem due to Auslander and Bridger and the Cohen-Macaulay approximation theorem due to Auslander and Buchweitz. In this paper we generalize these results to much more general case over non-commutative rings. As an application, we establish a relation between the injective dimension of a generalized tilting module ω and the finitistic dimension with respect to ω.     

Extension Closedness of Syzygies and Local Gorensteinness of Commutative Rings

We refine a well-known theorem of Auslander and Reiten about the extension closedness of nth syzygies over noether algebras. Applying it, we obtain the converse of a celebrated theorem of Evans and Griffith on Serre’s condition (S _n ) and the local Gorensteiness of a commutative ring in height less than n. This especially extends a recent result of Araya and Iima concerning a Cohen–Macaulay local ring with canonical module to an arbitrary local ring.     

Covering techniques in Auslander–Reiten theory

Given a finite dimensional algebra over a perfect field the text introduces covering functors over the mesh category of any modulated Auslander–Reiten component of the algebra. This is applied to study the composition of irreducible morphisms between indecomposable modules in relation with the powers of the radical of the module category.     

COILS FOR VECTORSPACE CATEGORIES

Coils as components of Auslander–Reiten quivers of algebras and coil algebras are introduced by Assem and Skowroński. This concept is applied in the present paper to vectorspace categories. The four admissible operations on an Auslander–Reiten component of a vectorspace category, and the notions of v-coils and of vcoil vectorspace categories are introduced. A detailed study on the indecomposable objects of factorspace category of a vcoil vectorspace category is carried out.     

Auslander–Bridger Modules

Classically, the Auslander–Bridger transpose finds its best applications in the well-known setting of finitely presented modules over a semiperfect ring. We introduce a class of modules over an arbitrary ring R, which we call Auslander–Bridger modules, with the property that the Auslander–Bridger transpose induces a well-behaved bijection between isomorphism classes of Auslander–Bridger right R-modules and isomorphism classes of Auslander–Bridger left R-modules. Thus we generalize what happens for finitely presented modules over a semiperfect ring. Auslander–Bridger modules are characterized by two invariants (epi-isomorphism class and lower-isomorphism class), which are interchanged by the transpose. Via a suitable duality, we find that kernels of morphisms between injective modules of finite Goldie dimension are also characterized by two invariants (mono-isomorphism class and upper-isomorphism class).     

Algebras that satisfy Auslander’s condition on vanishing of cohomology

Auslander conjectured that every Artin algebra satisfies a certain condition on vanishing of cohomology of finitely generated modules. The failure of this conjecture—by a 2003 counterexample due to Jorgensen and Şega—motivates the consideration of the class of rings that do satisfy Auslander’s condition. We call them AC rings and show that an AC Artin algebra that is left-Gorenstein is also right-Gorenstein. Furthermore, the Auslander–Reiten Conjecture is proved for AC rings, and Auslander’s G-dimension is shown to be functorial for AC rings that are commutative or have a dualizing complex.     

Separable Bimodules and Approximation

Using approximations, we give several characterizations of separability of bimodules. We also discuss how separability properties can be used to transfer some representation theoretic properties from one ring to another: contravariant finiteness of the subcategory of (finitely generated) left modules with finite projective dimension, finitistic dimension, finite representation type, Auslander algebra, tame or wild representation type.
