On endomorphism algebras with small homological dimensions. (Q1396377)

The class of the so-called algebras with small homological dimensions (a `shod' algebra, for short) was introduced by \textit{F. U. Coelho} and \textit{M. A. Lanzilotta} [in Manuscr. Math. 100, No. 1, 1-11 (1999; Zbl 0966.16001)] in order to generalize the study of quasitilted algebras done by \textit{D. Happel}, \textit{I. Reiten} and \textit{S. O. Smalø} [Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 575 (1996; Zbl 0849.16011)]. Recall that an algebra \(\Lambda\) is `shod' provided each indecomposable module has its projective dimension at most one or its injective dimension at most one. In the paper under review, the authors are interested in the following problem. Let \(M\) be a module over a shod algebra \(\Lambda\). Under which circunstances, the endomorphism algebra \(\Gamma=\text{End}_\Lambda(M)^{op}\) is again shod? They show that this is the case if: (i) \(M\) is a projective module; or (ii) \(M\) has no selfextensions and belongs to the additive closure of the maximal predecessor closed subcategory of \(\text{ind\,}\Lambda\) consisting entirely of modules of projective dimension at most one.
