A characterization of finite EI categories with hereditary category algebras (Q408517): Difference between revisions

The main aim of the author is to provide an explicit algoritm to construct the quiver associated to a finite EI \(k\)-category such that all endomorphism groups have orders invertible in the field \(k\) (Theorem 4.7). Using a partial result (Proposition 4.6) which is useful in the proof of this theorem, it is also proved that all endomorphism groups of all objects in a finite EI-category \(\mathcal{C}\) have invertible orders in \(k\) if and only if \(k\mathcal{C}\) is hereditary (Theorem 5.3).
