On \(\tau\)-tilting finiteness of the Schur algebra (Q1979335)

\textit{T. Adachi} et al. [Compos. Math. 150, No. 3, 415--452 (2014; Zbl 1330.16004)] introduced \(\tau\)-tilting theory. \textit{L. Demonet} et al. [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2019, No. 3, 852--892 (2019; Zbl 1485.16013)] initiated the study of \(\tau\)-tilting finite algebras. So far \(\tau\)-tilting finite algebras have been classified for many classes of finite dimensional algebras such as algebras with radical square zero, preprojective algebras of Dynkin type, Brauer graph algebras, biserial algebras, and minimal wild two-point algebras. In the paper under review, the author tries to classify \(\tau\)-tilting finite Schur algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p>0\). He proves that all tame Schur algebras are \(\tau\)-tilting finite. For the wild Schur algebras \(S(n,r)\) with \(p=2,n=2,r=8,17,19\) or \(p=2,n=3,r=4\) or \(p=2,n\ge 5,r=5\) or \(p\ge 5, n=2, p^2\le r\le p^2+p-1\), he can not determine whether they are \(\tau\)-tilting finite or not at present since the number of pairwise non-isomorphic basic support \(\tau\)-tilting modules is huge for them, but he conjectures they are. Except for the cases above, he can show that a wild Schur algebra \(S(n,r)\) is \(\tau\)-tilting finite if and only if \(p=2,n=2,r=6,13,15\) or \(p=2,n=3,r=5\) or \(p=2,n=4,r=4\).
