We prove that every finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field is either derived tame or derived wild. We also prove that any deformation of a derived tame algebra is derived tame.
We prove that every finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field is either derived tame or derived wild. The proof is based on the technique of matrix problems (boxes and reduction algorithm). It implies, in particular, that any degeneration of a derived wild algebra is derived wild; respectively, any deformation of a derived tame algebra is derived tame.
We provide a complete classification of all tame and wild symmetric special multiserial algebras in terms of the underlying Brauer configuration. Our classification contains the symmetric special multiserial algebras of finite representation type.
We present a class of wild matrix problems (representations of boxes), which are "brick-tame," i.e. only have one-parameter families of \emph{bricks} (representations with trivial endomorphism algebra). This class includes several boxes that arise in study of simple vector bundles on degenerations of elliptic curves, as well as those arising from the coadjoint action of some linear groups.
In this paper, we consider the problem of determining when two tensor networks are equivalent under a heterogeneous change of basis. In particular, to a string diagram in a certain monoidal category (which we call tensor diagrams), we formulate an associated abelian category of representations. Each representation corresponds to a tensor network on that diagram. We then classify which tensor diagrams give rise to categories that are finite, tame, or wild in the traditional sense of representation theory. For those tensor diagrams of finite and tame type, we classify the indecomposable represen…
We apply the theory of localization for tame and wild coalgebras in order to prove the following theorem: "Let Q be an acyclic quiver. Then any tame admissible subcoalgebra of KQ is the path coalgebra of a quiver with relations".
Is tame open? No answer so far. One may pose the Tame-Open Conjecture: Tame is open. But how to support it? No effective way to date. In this note, the rank of a wild algebra is introduced. The Wild-Rank Conjecture, which implies the Tame-Open Conjecture, is formulated. The Wild-Rank Conjecture is improved to the Basic-Wild-Rank Conjecture. A covering criterion on the rank of a basic wild algebra is given, which can be effectively applied to verify the Basic-Wild-Rank Conjecture for concrete algebras. It makes all conjectures much reliable.
We introduce a new class of algebraic varieties which we call frieze varieties. Each frieze variety is determined by an acyclic quiver. The frieze variety is defined in an elementary recursive way by constructing a set of points in affine space. From a more conceptual viewpoint, the coordinates of these points are specializations of cluster variables in the cluster algebra associated to the quiver. We give a new characterization of the finite--tame--wild trichotomy for acyclic quivers in terms of their frieze varieties. We show that an acyclic quiver is representation finite, tame, or wild, re…
We prove the tame-wild dichotomy conjecture, due to D. Simson, for infinite dimensional algebras and coalgebras. The key part of the approach is proving new representation theoretic characterizations local finiteness. Among other, we show that the Ext quiver of the category ${\rm f.d.-}A$ of finite dimensional representations of an arbitrary algebra $A$ is locally finite (i.e. $\dim(\Ext^1(S,T))<\infty$ for all simple finite dimensional $A$-modules $S,T$) if and only if for every dimension vector $\underline{d}$, the representations of $A$ of dimension vector $\underline{d}$ are all contained …
The celebrated Drozd's theorem asserts that a finite-dimensional basic algebra $Λ$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ is either tame or wild, whereas the Crawley-Boevey's theorem states that given a tame algebra $Λ$ and a dimension $d$, all but finitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable $Λ$-modules of dimension $d$ are isomorphic to their Auslander-Reiten translations and hence belong to homogeneous tubes. In this paper, we prove the inverse of Crawley-Boevey's theorem, which gives an internal description of tameness in terms of Auslander-Reiten quivers.
A famous result by Drozd says that a finite-dimensional representation-infinite algebra is of either tame or wild representation type. But one has to make assumption on the ground field. The Gabriel-Roiter measure might be an alternative approach to extend these concepts of tame and wild to arbitrary artin algebras. In particular, the infiniteness of the number of GR segments, i.e. sequences of Gabriel-Roiter measures which are closed under direct predecessors and successors, might relate to the wildness of artin algebras. As the first step, we are going to study the wild quiver with three ver…
Let $Λ$ be a finite-dimensional basic algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$. The well-known Drozd's theorem asserts, that $Λ$ is either tame or wild. The Crawley-Boevey's Theorem states that for a given tame algebra $Λ$, and for each dimension $d$ almost all isomorphism classes of indecomposable $Λ$-modules of dimension $d$ are isomorphic to their Auslander-Reiten translations and hence belong to homogeneous tubes. In this paper we prove the converse of Crawley-Boevey's Theorem and thus give an internal description of tameness in terms of AR-quivers. This gives a complete answer to a …
We show that all finite dimensional, tame hereditary $k$-algebras are of amenable representation type (in the sense of G. Elek) for all fields $k$. The proof is adapted from our previous result for tame path algebras. Further, it is proven that this results extends to some tilted algebras, in particular tame concealed algebras are amenable.
In this paper we determine the derived representation type of quadratic string algebras and we prove that every derived tame quadratic string algebra whose quiver has cycles is derived equivalent to some skewed-gentle algebra.
Birge Huisgen-Zimmermann calls a finite dimensional algebra homologically tame provided the little and the big finitistic dimension are equal and finite. The question formulated in the title has been discussed by her in the paper "Representation-tame algebras need not be homologically tame", by looking for any $r > 0$ at a sequence of algebras $Λ_m$ with big finitistic dimension $r+m$. As we will show, also the little finitistic dimension of $Λ_m$ is r+m. It follows that contrary to her assertion, all her algebras $Λ_m$ are homologically tame.
In this survey we present the criterion for tameness of strongly simply connected algebras due to Brüstle, de la Peña and Skowroński. We recall relevant concepts of representation theory and discuss some applications and connections to other problems.
We determine the derived representation type of Nakayama algebras and prove that a derived tame Nakayama algebra without simple projective module is gentle or derived equivalent to some skewed-gentle algebra, and as a consequence, we determine its singularity category.
Let $A$ be a tame hereditary algebra over a finite field $k$ with $q$ elements, and ${\bar{A}}$ be the duplicated algebra of $A$. In this paper, we investigate the structure of Ringel-Hall algebra $\mathscr{H} (\bar{A})$ and of the corresponding composition algebra $\mathscr{C} (\bar{A})$. As an application, we prove the existence of Hall polynomials $g_{XY}^M$ for any $\bar{A}$-modules $M, X$ and $Y$ with $X$ and $Y$ indecomposable if $A$ is a tame quiver $k$-algebra, then we also obtain some Lie subalgebras induced by $\bar{A}$.
In this paper we state and prove the statement that tame hereditary algebras have finitely many m-maximal green sequences using a generalized version of Brüstle-Dupont-Pérotin's argument that tame quivers have finitely many maximal green sequences. Then we extend this theorem to mutation sequences which are partially red.
The "No Gap Conjecture" of Brüstle-Dupont-Pérotin states that the set of lengths of maximal green sequences for hereditary algebras over an algebraically closed field has no gaps. This follows from a stronger conjecture that any two maximal green sequences can be "polygonally deformed" into each other. We prove this stronger conjecture for all tame hereditary algebras over any field.
In this paper we explain how and why the list of Happel-Vossieck of tame concealed algebras is closely related to the list of A. Seven of minimal infinite cluster quivers.
The aim of this work is to study the representation dimension of cluster tilted algebras. We prove that the weak representation dimension of tame cluster tilted algebras is equal to three. We construct a generator module that reaches the weak representation dimension, unfortunately this module is not always a cogenerator. We show for which algebras this module gives the representation dimension.
We explicitly calculate a projective bimodule resolution for a special biserial algebra giving rise to the Hecke algebra H_q(S_4) when q=-1. We then determine the dimensions of the Hochschild cohomology groups.
We prove that the number of parameters defining a complex of projective modules over a finite dimensional algebra is upper semi-continuous in families of algebras. Supposing that every algebra is either derived tame or derived wild, we get that a degeneration of a derived wild algebra is derived wild too. We also explain why the so-called counter-example of Bruestle is in fact not a counter-example.
In this paper, we first show that for an acyclic gentle algebra A, the irreducible components of any moduli space of A-modules are products of projective spaces. Next, we show that the nice geometry of the moduli spaces of modules of an algebra does not imply the tameness of the representation type of the algebra in question. Finally, we place these results in the general context of moduli spaces of modules of Schur-tame algebras. More specifically, we show that for an arbitrary Schur-tame algebra A and theta-stable irreducible component C of a module variety of A-modules, the moduli space of …
Let $Λ$ be a finite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field, then $Λ$ is either tame or wild. Is there any homological description in terms of AR-translations on tameness? Or equivalently, is there any combinatorial description in terms of AR-quivers? The answer is yes. In the present paper we prove the following main theorem: ``$Λ$ is tame if and only if almost all modules are isomorphic to their Auslander-Reiten translations, if and only if they lie in homogeneous tubes". The method used in the paper is bimodule problem, which has been studied by several authors. We treat bimo…
We contribute to the classification of finite dimensional algebras under stable equivalence of Morita type. More precisely we give a classification of the class of Erdmann's algebras of dihedral, semi-dihedral and quaternion type and obtain as byproduct the validity of the Auslander-Reiten conjecture for these classes of algebras.
In this note we are concerned with the notion of amenable representation type as defined in a recent paper by Gábor Elek. Roughly speaking, an algebra is of amenable type if for all $\varepsilon > 0$, every finite-dimensional module has a submodule which is a direct sum of modules which are small with respect to $\varepsilon$ such that the quotient is also small in that respect. We will show that the tame hereditary path algebras of quivers of extended Dynkin type over any field $k$ are of amenable type, thus extending a conjecture in the aforementioned paper to another class of tame algebras.…
C.M. Ringel defined Hall algebra associated with the category of representations of a quiver of Dynkin type and gave an explicit description of the structure constants of the corresponding Lie algebra. We utilize functorial properties of the Hall algebra to give a simple proof of Ringel's result, and to generalize it to the case of a quiver of affine type.
Let k be an algebraically closed field. Given an extension A : B of finite-dimensional k- algebras, we establish criteria ensuring that the representation-theoretic notion of polynomial growth is preserved under ascent and descent. These results are then used to show that principal blocks of finite group schemes of odd characteristic are of polynomial growth if and only if they are Morita equivalent to trivial extensions of radical square zero tame hereditary algebras. In that case, the blocks are of domestic representation type and the underlying group schemes are closely related to binary po…
We study minimal disjoint degenerations for representations of tame quivers. In particular, we prove that their codimensions are bounded by 2. Therefore a quiver is Dynkin resp. Euclidean resp. wild iff the codimensions are 1 resp. bounded by 2 resp. unbounded. We explain also that for tame quivers the complete classification of all minimal disjoint degenerations is a finite problem that can be solved with the help of a computer.
We use the dimension and the Lie algebra structure of the first Hochschild cohomology group to distinguish some algebras of dihedral, semi-dihedral and quaternion type up to stable equivalence of Morita type. In particular, we complete the classification of algebras of dihedral type that was mostly determined by Zhou and Zimmermann.
We show that a tilted algebra $A$ is tame if and only if for each generic root $\dd$ of $A$ and each indecomposable irreducible component $C$ of $\module(A,\dd)$, the field of rational invariants $k(C)^{\GL(\dd)}$ is isomorphic to $k$ or $k(x)$. Next, we show that the tame tilted algebras are precisely those tilted algebras $A$ with the property that for each generic root $\dd$ of $A$ and each indecomposable irreducible component $C \subseteq \module(A,\dd)$, the moduli space $\M(C)^{ss}_θ$ is either a point or just $\mathbb P^1$ whenever $θ$ is an integral weight for which $C^s_θ\neq \emptyse…
The problem of classifying modules over a tame algebra A reduces to a block matrix problem of tame type whose indecomposable canonical matrices are zero- or one-parameter. Respectively, the set of nonisomorphic indecomposable modules of dimension at most d divides into a finite number f(d,A) of modules and one-parameter series of modules. We prove that the number of m-by-n canonical parametric block matrices with a given partition into blocks is bounded by 4^s, where s is the number of free entries (which is at most mn), and estimate the number f(d,A).
A finite-dimensional algebra $A$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ is called periodic if it is periodic under the action of the syzygy operator in the category of $A-A-$ bimodules. The periodic algebras are self-injective and occur naturally in the study of tame blocks of group algebras, actions of finite groups on spheres, hypersurface singularities of finite Cohen-Macaulay type, and Jacobian algebras of quivers with potentials. Recently, the tame periodic algebras of polynomial growth have been classified and it is natural to attempt to classify all tame periodic algebras. We introduce …
The $\mathbf{g}$-vector fan of a finite-dimensional algebra is a fan whose rays are the $\mathbf{g}$-vectors of its $2$-term presilting objects. We prove that the $\mathbf{g}$-vector fan of a tame algebra is dense. We then apply this result to obtain a near classification of quivers for which the closure of the cluster $\mathbf{g}$-vector fan is dense or is a half-space, using the additive categorification of cluster algebras by means of Jacobian algebras. As another application, we prove that for quivers with potentials arising from once-punctured closed surfaces, the stability and cluster sc…
We give a complete classification of the infinite dimensional tilting modules over a tame hereditary algebra R. We start our investigations by considering tilting modules of the form T=R_U\oplus R_U /R where U is a union of tubes, and R_U denotes the universal localization of R at U in the sense of Schofield and Crawley-Boevey. Here R_U/R is a direct sum of the Prüfer modules corresponding to the tubes in U. Over the Kronecker algebra, large tilting modules are of this form in all but one case, the exception being the Lukas tilting module L whose tilting class Gen L consists of all modules wit…
For the algebra $I_n$ of polynomial integro-differential operators over a field $K$ of characteristic zero, a classification of simple weight and generalized weight (left and right) $I_n$-modules is given. It is proven that the category of weight $I_n$-modules is semisimple. An explicit description of generalized weight $I_n$-modules is given and using it a criterion is obtained for the problem of classification of indecomposable generalized weight $I_n$-modules to be of finite representation type, tame or wild. In the tame case, a classification of indecomposable generalized weight $I_n$-modu…
A GR-segment for an artin algebra is a sequence of Gabriel-Roiter measures, which is closed under direct predecessors and successors. The number of the GR-segments indexed by natural numbers $\mathbb{N}$ and integers $\mathbb{Z}$ probably relates to the representation types of artin algebras. Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and $Q$ be a tame quiver (of type $\widetilde{\mathbb{A}}_n$, $\widetilde{\mathbb{D}}_n$, $\widetilde{\mathbb{E}}_6$, $\widetilde{\mathbb{E}}_7$, or $\widetilde{\mathbb{E}}_8$). Let $b$ be the number of the isomorphism classes of the exceptional quasi-simple module…
We show that, also within the class of representation-tame finite dimensional algebras $Λ$, the big left finitistic dimension of $Λ$ may be strictly larger than the little. In fact, the discrepancies $Findim Λ- findim Λ$ need not even be bounded for special biserial algebras which constitute one of the (otherwise) most thoroughly understood classes of tame algebras. More precisely: For every positive integer $r$, we construct a special biserial algebra $Λ$ with the property that $findim Λ= r + 1$, while $Findim Λ= 2r + 1$. In particular, there are infinite dimensional representations of $Λ$ wh…
We develop a structure theory for two classes of infinite dimensional modules over tame hereditary algebras: the Baer modules, and the Mittag-Leffler ones.
We prove that if a quasi-tilted algebra is tame, then the associated moduli spaces are products of projective spaces. Together with an earlier result of Chindris this gives a geometric characterization of the tame quasi-tilted algebras.
In continuation of the article \cite{L} we classify all radically graded basic Hopf algebras of tame type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0.
We investigate sets of the common zeros of non-constant semi-invariants for regular modules over canonical algebras. In particular, we show that if the considered algebra is tame then for big enough vectors these sets are complete intersections.
We give a basis for the Hochschild cohomology ring of tame Hecke algebras. We then show that the Hochschild cohomology ring modulo nilpotence is a finitely generated algebra of Krull dimension 2, and describe the support varieties of modules for these algebras. As a consequence we obtain the result that the Hochschild cohomology ring modulo nilpotence of a Hecke algebra has Krull dimension 1 if the algebra is of finite type and has Krull dimension 2 if the algebra is of tame type.
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be an affine Kac-Moody algebra with symmetric Cartan datum, $\mathfrak{n^{+}}$ be the maximal nilpotent subalgebra of $\mathfrak{g}$. By the Hall algebra approach, we construct integral bases of the $\mathbb{Z}$-form of the enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak{n^{+}})$. In particular, the representation theory of tame quivers is essentially used in this paper.
As the first attempt to classify $τ$-tilting finite two-point algebras, we have determined the $τ$-tilting finiteness for minimal wild two-point algebras and some tame two-point algebras.
Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field of residue characteristic $p\neq 2$. Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $F$ that splits over a tamely ramified extension of $F$. Yu constructed types which are called tame supercuspidal types and conjectured that Hecke algebras associated with these types are isomorphic to Hecke algebras associated with depth-zero types of some twisted Levi subgroups of $G$. In this paper, we prove this conjecture. We also prove that the Hecke algebra associated with a regular supercuspidal type is isomorphic to the group algebra of a certain abelian group.
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p> 0. For a basic classical Lie superalgebra, we show its restricted cohomology algebra is a finitely generated algebra. Thus the cohomological support theory can be established. As a consequence, we show that the restricted enveloping algebra of a basic classical Lie superalgebra g is always wild except g=sl(2) or g=osp(1|2) or g=C(2). Moreover, all finite dimensional indecomposable restricted representations of u(osp(1|2)), the restricted enveloping algebra of Lie superalgebra osp(1|2), are determined.
