This note uses a variation of graded Morita theory for finite dimensional superalgebras to determine explicitly the graded basic superalgebras for all real and complex Clifford superalgebras. As an application, the Grothendieck groups of the category of left $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded modules over all real and complex Clifford superalgebras are described explicitly.
We study the structural and homological properties of graded Artinian modules over generalized Weyl algebras (GWAs), and this leads to a decomposition result for the category of graded Artinian modules. Then we define and examine a category of graded modules analogous to the BGG category O. We discover a condition on the data defining the GWA that ensures O has a system of projective generators. Under this condition, O has nice representation-theoretic properties. There is also a decomposition result for O. Next, we give a necessary condition for there to be a strongly graded Morita equivalenc…
We introduce group graded basic Morita equivalences between algebras deter- mined by blocks of normal subgroups, and by using the extended Brauer quotient, we show that they induce graded basic Morita equivalences at local levels.
This paper is investigative work into the properties of a family of graded algebras recently defined by Varagnolo and Vasserot, which we call VV algebras. We compare categories of modules over KLR algebras with categories of modules over VV algebras, establishing various Morita equivalences. Using these Morita equivalences we are able to prove several properties of certain classes of VV algebras such as (graded) affine cellularity and affine quasi-heredity.
In this paper, we present a method to construct new stable equivalences of Morita type. Suppose that a stable equivalence of Morita type between finite dimensional algebras $A$ and $B$ is defined by a $B$-$A$-bimodule $N$. Then, for any finite admissible set $Φ$ of natural numbers and any generator $X$ of the $A$-module category, the $Φ$-Beilinson-Green algebras $\scr G^Φ_A(X)$ and $\scr G^Φ_B(N\otimes_AX)$ are stably equivalent of Morita type. In particular, if $Φ=\{0\}$, we get a known result in literature. As another consequence, we construct an infinite family of derived equivalent algebra…
In this paper we investigate gradings on tame blocks of group algebras whose defect group is dihedral. We classify gradings on an arbitrary dihedral block up to graded Morita equivalence. We do this by computing the group of outer automorphisms that fix the isomorphism classes of simple modules. We also show how to grade these blocks via transfer of gradings via dervied equivalences.
We introduce and study the notion of pseudo-Frobenius graded algebra with enough idempotents, showing that it follows the pattern of the classical concept of pseudo-Frobenius (PF) and Quasi-Frobenius (QF) rings, in particular finite dimensional self-injective algebras, as studied by Nakayama, Morita, Faith, Tachikawa, etc. We show that such an algebra is characterized by the existence of a graded Nakayama form. Moreover, we prove that the pseudo-Frobenius property is preserved and reflected by covering functors, a fact that makes the concept useful in Representation Theory.
Let $(\mathcal{K},\mathcal{O},k)$ be a $p$-modular system with $k$ algebraically closed, let $b$ be a block of the normal subgroup $H$ of $G$ having defect pointed group $Q_δ$ in $H$ and $P_γ$ in $G$, and consider the block extension $b\mathcal{O}G$. One may attach to $b$ an extended local category $\mathcal{E}_{(b,H,G)}$, a group extension $L$ of $Z(Q)$ by $N_G(Q_δ)/C_H(Q)$ having $P$ as a Sylow $p$-subgroup, and a cohomology class $[α]\in H^2(N_G(Q_δ)/QC_H(Q),k^\times)$. We prove that these objects are invariant under the $G/H$-graded basic Morita equivalences. Along the way, we give alterna…
We show that the Brauer algebra over the complex numbers for an integral parameter delta can be equipped with a grading, in the case of delta being non-zero turning it into a graded quasi-hereditary algebra. In which case it is Morita equivalent to a Koszul algebra. This is done by realizing the Brauer algebra as an idempotent truncation of a certain level two VW-algebra for some large positive integral parameter N. The parameter delta appears then in the choice of a cyclotomic quotient. This cyclotomic VW-algebra arises naturally as an endomorphism algebra of a certain projective module in pa…
In this paper we construct non-negative gradings on a basic Brauer tree algebra $A_Γ$ corresponding to an arbitrary Brauer tree $Γ$ of type $(m,e)$. We do this by transferring gradings via derived equivalence from a basic Brauer tree algebra $A_S$, whose tree is a star with the exceptional vertex in the middle, to $A_Γ$. The grading on $A_S$ comes from the tight grading given by the radical filtration. To transfer gradings via derived equivalence we use tilting complexes constructed by taking Green's walk around $Γ$ (cf. [\ref{Zak}]). By computing endomorphism rings of these tilting complexes …
In this paper we study the existence of gradings on finite dimensional associative algebras. We prove that a connected algebra $A$ does not have a non-trivial grading if and only if $A$ is basic, its quiver has one vertex, and its group of outer automorphisms is unipotent. We apply this result to prove that up to graded Morita equivalence there do not exist non-trivial gradings on the blocks of group algebras with quaternion defect groups and one isomorphism class of simple modules.
We consider RoCK (or Rouquier) blocks of symmetric groups and Hecke algebras at roots of unity. We prove a conjecture of Turner asserting that a certain idempotent truncation of a RoCK block of weight $d$ of a symmetric group $\mathfrak S_n$ defined over a field $F$ of characteristic $e$ is Morita equivalent to the principal block of the wreath product $\mathfrak S_e \wr \mathfrak S_d$. This generalises a theorem of Chuang and Kessar that applies to RoCK blocks with abelian defect groups. Our proof relies crucially on an isomorphism between $F\mathfrak S_n$ and a cyclotomic Khovanov-Lauda-Rouq…
We introduce some graded versions of the walled Brauer algebra, working over a field of characteristic zero. This allows us to prove that the walled Brauer algebra is Morita equivalent to an idempotent truncation of a certain infinite dimensional version of Khovanov's arc algebra, as suggested by recent work of Cox and De Visscher. We deduce that the walled Brauer algebra is Koszul whenever its defining parameter is non-zero.
The effectiveness of the aplication of constructions in $G$-graded $k$-categories to the computation of the fundamental group of a finite dimensional $k$-algebra, alongside with open problems still left untouched by those methods and new problems arisen from the introduction of the concept of fundamental group of a $k$-linear category, motivated the investigation of $H$-module categories, i.e., actions of a Hopf algebra $H$ on a $k$-linear category. The $G$-graded case corresponds then to actions of the Hopf algebra $k^G$ on a $k$-linear category. In this work we take a step further and introd…
In this paper we prove an analogue of a recent result of Gordon and Stafford that relates the representation theory of certain noncommutative deformations of the coordinate ring of the n-th symmetric power of C^2 with the geometry of the Hilbert scheme of n points in C^2 through the formalism of Z-algebras. Our work produces, for every regular noncommutative deformation O^λof a Kleinian singularity X=C^2/Γ, as defined by Crawley-Boevey and Holland, a filtered Z-algebra which is Morita equivalent to O^λ, such that the associated graded Z-algebra is Morita equivalent to the minimal resolution of…
We show that, up to Morita equivalence, any finite-dimensional algebra with a suitable homological system, admits an exact Borel subalgebra. This generalizes a theorem by Koenig, Külshammer and Ovsienko, which holds for quasi-hereditary algebras. Our proof follows the same general scheme proposed by these authors, in a more general context: we associate a differential graded tensor algebra with relations, using the structure of $A_{\infty}-$algebra of a suitable Yoneda algebra, and use its category of modules to describe the category of filtered modules associated to the given homological syst…
It is shown that, the quasi-Koszulities of algebras and modules are Morita invariance. A finite-dimensional $K$-algebra $A$ with an action of $G$ is quasi-Koszul if and only if so is the skew group algebra $A \ast G$, where $G$ is a finite group satisfying $\char K \nmid |G|$. A finite-dimensional $G$-graded $K$-algebra $A$ is quasi-Koszul if and only if so is the smash product $A # G^*$, where $G$ is a finite group satisfying $\char K \nmid |G|$. These results are applied to prove that, if a finite-dimensional connected quiver algebra is Koszul then so are its Galois covering algebras with fi…
This paper has two parts. The main goal, carried out in Part I, is to survey some recent work by the authors in which "forced" grading constructions have played a significant role in the representation theory of semisimple algebraic groups $G$ in positive characteristic. The constructions begin with natural finite dimensional quotients of the distribution algebras Dist$(G)$, but then "force" gradings into the picture by passing to positively graded algebras constructed from ideal filtrations of these quotients. This process first guaranteed a place for itself by proving, for large primes, that…
In this paper the authors investigate the $q$-Schur algebras of type B that were constructed earlier using coideal subalgebras for the quantum group of type A. The authors present a coordinate algebra type construction that allows us to realize these $q$-Schur algebras as the duals of the $d$th graded components of certain graded coalgebras. Under suitable conditions an isomorphism theorem is proved that demonstrates that the representation theory reduces to the $q$-Schur algebra of type A. This enables the authors to address the questions of cellularity, quasi-hereditariness and representatio…
Following the approach of Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich arXiv:1409.8611, to any homologically smooth graded gentle algebra $A$ we associate a triple $(Σ_A, Λ_A; η_A)$, where $Σ_A$ is an oriented smooth surface with non-empty boundary, $Λ_A$ is a set of stops on $\partial Σ_A$ and $η_A$ is a line field on $Σ_A$, such that the derived category of perfect dg-modules of $A$ is equivalent to the partially wrapped Fukaya category of $(Σ_A, Λ_A ;η_A)$. Modifying arguments of Johnson and Kawazumi, we classify the orbit decomposition of the action of the (symplectic) mapping class group of $Σ_A$ on the h…
