Abstract: Coverings in the representation theory of algebras were introduced for the Auslander-Reiten quiver of a representation finite algebra by Riedtmann and later for finite dimensional algebras by Bongartz and Gabriel, R. Martinez-Villa and de la Pe~na. The best understood class covering functors is that of Galois covering functors F: A -> B determined by the action of a group of automorphisms of A. In this work we introduce the balanced covering functors which include the Galois class and for which classical Galois covering-type results still hold. For instance, if F:A -> B is a balanced covering functor, where A and B are linear categories over an algebraically closed field, and B is tame, then A is tame.

Review text

The authors define and investigate balanced covering functors that are a generalisation of Galois covering functors. The properties of balanced covering functors are given. One of the main results of the paper is the following Theorem. Let \(A\), \(B\) be locally bounded \(K\)-categories, where \(K\) is an algebraically closed field and let \(F\colon A\to B\) be a covering functor. (a) If \(F\) is induced from a map \(f\colon(Q,I)\to(Q',I')\) of quivers with relations, where \(A=KQ/I\) and \(B=KQ'/I'\), then \(B\) is locally representation-finite if and only if so is \(A\). (b) If \(F\) is balanced and \(B\) is tame, then \(A\) is tame.
