Iterated tilted algebras induced from coverings of trivial extensions of hereditary algebras (Q1111671)

The author studies the relation between tilting theory and repetitive algebras. Recall that, for a finite dimensional algebra \(A\) over a commutative field, its repetitive algebra \(\hat A\) (in the sense of \textit{D. Hughes} and \textit{J. Waschbüsch} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., III. Ser. 46, 347-364 (1983; Zbl 0488.16021)]) is the matrix algebra \[ \Hat A = \left[ \begin{matrix} \ddots &&&& 0 \\ \ddots & A_{i-1} \\ & E_{i-1} & A_ i \\ && E_ i & A_{i+1} \\ 0 &&& \ddots & \ddots \end{matrix} \right] \] where matrices have finitely many non-zero coefficients, \(A_ i=A\) and \(E_ i\) is the minimal injective cogenerator bimodule \({}_ AE_ A = \text{Hom}_ k(A,k)\) for all \(i\in\mathbb{Z}\), addition is the usual addition of matrices, and multiplication is induced from the canonical bimodule structure of \(E\) and the zero map \(E\otimes_ A E\to 0\). The author shows that, if \(\hat A \overset\sim{} \hat B\), with \(A\) hereditary, then \(B\) is aniterated tilted algebra obtained from \(A\) (in the sense of the reviewer and \textit{D. Happel} [Commun. Algebra 9, 2101-2125 (1981; Zbl 0481.16009)]) that is, is obtained from A by finitely many applications of the tilting process [cf. \textit{D. Happel} and \textit{C. M. Ringel}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 274, 399-443 (1982; Zbl 0503.16024)]. The proof is done by explicitly constructing a sequence of splitting tilting modules tilting \(A\) to \(B\), showing in the process that \(B\) can be obtained from \(A\) by at most \(3\)m applications of the tilting process, where m denotes the number of non-isomorphic simple A-modules. The proof also uses essentially a criterion for isomorphism of repetitive algebras obtained by the author [in Commun. Algebra 15, 791-812 (1987; Zbl 0623.16010)].
