Galois covering technique and tame non-simply connected posets of polynomial growth (Q1971131)

Let \(k\) be an algebraically closed field and let \(S\) be a finite partially ordered set (poset). Let \(Q_S\) be the quiver whose vertices are the elements of \(S\) and whose arrows are described as follows: for \(x,y\in S\) there is an arrow \(x\to y\) in \(Q_S\) if and only if \(x<y\) in \(S\). The set \(S\) is said to be simply connected if so is the factor algebra of the path algebra \(kQ_S\) modulo the ideal generated by all commutativity relations [\textit{I. Assem} and \textit{A. Skowroński}, Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., III. Ser. 56, No. 3, 417-450 (1988; Zbl 0617.16018)]. The authors show that if \(S\) is not simply connected, then it is of tame prinjective type and of polynomial growth over \(k\) if and only if: (a) the Tits form of \(S\) is weakly nonnegative and (b) no subset of \(S\) belongs to one of three specific families of posets.
