GRADED RINGS OF LOCAL FINITE REPRESENTATION TYPE

From MaRDI portal





Let \(R\) be a positively \(\mathbb{Z}\)-graded Artin algebra. The local theory of graded \(R\)-modules was introduced by the authors in an earlier paper [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 93, No. 2, 195-226 (1994; Zbl 0811.16010)]. The algebra \(R\) is said to be of local finite representation type if for each non-negative integer \(l\) there are only a finite number of non-isomorphic finitely generated indecomposable graded \(R\)-modules with support in degrees \(0,\dots,l\). The paper under review initiates a study of such algebras. In the words of the authors, ``we believe this class of algebras is very tractable and just a small step away from finite representation type. Among other things, the authors show that: \(\bullet\) If \(R\) is of local finite representation type, then there are at most a countable number of indecomposable non-isomorphic gradable \(R\)-modules; \(\bullet\) Let \(R\) be an algebra over an uncountable field. Then \(R\) is of local finite representation type if there are only a finite number of components of the Auslander-Reiten quiver of \(R\) containing gradable modules; \(\bullet\) Let \(R=k\Gamma\), where \(\Gamma\) is a finite directed graph and \(k\) a field, be a path algebra graded by a positive weight function \(\Gamma_1\to\mathbb{Z}\) such that \(R\) is indecomposable as a ring. Then \(R\) is of local finite representation type if and only if either \(R\) is of finite representation type or \(\Gamma\) is a cycle with non-zero weight; \(\bullet\) Assume, in addition, that \(k\) is an uncountable field. Then \(k\Gamma\) is of local finite representation type if and only if there are finite number of components of the Auslander-Reiten quiver of \(k\Gamma\) that contain gradable modules; \(\bullet\) The last result can be extended to graded algebras which are stably equivalent to hereditary algebras. -- In the last section of the paper, the authors present four examples.
