Auslander-Reiten theory for Artinian PI-rings (Q1270099)

Let \(R\) be an artinian ring whose radical factor \(\overline R\) is an artinian algebra. Then \(R\) is called an artinian polynomial identity ring, or shortly, an artinian PI-ring. The author develops an approach to the study of \(R\)-modules based on the representation theory of artinian algebras. Suppose \(M\) is a finitely generated \(R\)-module. The author describes conditions under which \(M\) has finite length as \(\text{End} M\)-module (or, in other words, \(M\) is endofinite) similarly to those from his paper [Commun. Algebra 25, No. 6, 1933-1944 (1997; Zbl 0885.16010)]. Thus it is proved that such \(M\) is endofinite if and only if its transpose is endofinite, and \(M\) contained in a connected component of the Auslander-Reiten quiver is endofinite if and only if all elements of this component are endofinite.
