Notes on the no loops conjecture (Q1174278): Difference between revisions

The author shows with some basic theorems of algebraic \(K\)-theory, that the following `no loops conjecture' holds: If \(A\) is a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field, and \(A\) has finite global dimension, then \(\text{Ext}^ 1_ A(S,S) = 0\) for all simple \(A\)- modules \(S\), or equivalently, \(A\) has no loops in its quiver. In addition, an elementary proof of a more general theorem is given.
