The ``0, 1-property'' of exceptional objects for nilpotent operators of degree 6 with one invariant subspace (Q1730866)

The problem to classify submodules of finite dimensional modules over a uniserial algebra $K[x]/(x^n)$ over a field $K$ goes back to a 1935 paper of \textit{G. Birkhoff} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (2) 38, 385--401 (1934; Zbl 0010.34304)], who considered a similar problem for subgroups of finite abelian groups. For $n=6$, the problem is known to be tame, at least if $K$ is algebraically closed. The Auslander-Reiten quiver then consists of families of tubes over the projective line. Ringel and Schmidmeier, who analysed this problem in several papers, described the category of representations by means of a covering functor, which leads to a $\mathbb{Z}$-graded category $\mathcal{S}(\widetilde{6})$. Its stable category is triangle equivalent to a stable category of vector bundles over the weighted projective line of type $(2,3,6)$. The main result of the paper under review is the observation that the exceptional objects can be represented in terms of $0,1$-matrices, which underlines their purely combinatorial structure. With the exception of a single rank-3 tube, the indecomposables of all exceptional tubes are shown to have an interesting ``interval tree'' property.
