The representation dimension of \(k[x,y]/(x^2,y^n)\). (Q855721): Difference between revisions

Representation dimension was introduced by Auslander in 1971, and recently is studied in many papers. In the paper under review, the authors show that the representation dimension of the \(k\)-algebra \(k[x,y]/(x^2,y^{n+2})\) over a field \(k\) is three for all \(n\geq 0\). As a consequence of this result, the authors get the following corollary: Let \(k\) be a field of characteristic 2. Then for any \(n\geq 1\), the group algebra \(k(C_2\times C_{2^n})\) has representation dimension 3, where \(C_n\) stands for the cyclic group of order \(n\). Thus the main result of the paper provides many representation-wild group algebras of representation dimension \(3\).
