The author studies generic modules over tubular algebras \(\Lambda\) in the sense of \textit{C. M. Ringel} [Tame algebras and integral quadratic forms, Lect. Notes Math. 1099 (1984; Zbl 0546.16019)]. Recall that an indecomposable module is called generic if its \(k\)-dimension is infinite and it has finite length over its endomorphism ring. Generic modules determine the representation type of a finite-dimensional algebra \(A\): \(A\) is representation finite if there are no generic modules and \(A\) is tame if and only if for each integer \(d\) there are only finitely many generic modules of finite endolength. The author shows that the generic modules over a tubular algebra form an infinite family, which is naturally ordered by an index set having the order type of a closed interval of rational numbers. The result is obtained by considering generic modules in the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on the weighted projective line associated to \(\Lambda\) and in the associated derived category.
