On the representation dimension of tilted and laura algebras. (Q2490849)

The authors investigate the representation dimension of Artin algebras, which was defined by Maurice Auslander in 1970. The main result in the paper says that the representation dimension of a tilted, or of a strict laura algebra, is bounded above by \(3\). For further information on laura algebras one may refer to \textit{I. Assem} and \textit{F. U. Coelho} [J. Algebra 269, No. 2, 456-479 (2003; Zbl 1045.16006)], \textit{I. Assem, F. U. Coelho} and \textit{S. Trepode} [J. Algebra 281, No. 2, 518-534 (2004; Zbl 1078.16007)], and \textit{A. Skowroński} [Cent. Eur. J. Math. 1, No. 1, 108-122 (2003; Zbl 1035.16008)]. For some new results on representation dimensions of algebras linked by a tilting module one may look at a recent paper of the reviewer [\textit{C.-C. Xi}, Acta Math. Sin., Engl. Ser. 22, No. 2, 615-640 (2006; Zbl 1107.18006)].
