The classification of homogeneous Cohen-Macaulay rings of finite representation type (Q1821151)

A complete classification is given of the homogeneous Cohen-Macaulay rings which are of finite representation type, that is, which have, up to isomorphisms and shifts in the grading, only a finite number of indecomposable maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules. It is shown that the homogeneous Cohen-Macaulay rings of finite representation type and dimension \(\geq 2\) must have minimal multiplicity. Together with previous results by various authors it turns out that the already known list of rings of finite representation is complete.
