Cluster tilting for higher Auslander algebras. (Q610664)

Let \(\Lambda\) be a finite dimensional algebra. Then, by \textit{O. Iyama} [Adv. Math. 210, No. 1, 22-50 (2007; Zbl 1115.16005)], the category of finite dimensional modules over \(\Lambda\) admits an \(n\)-Auslander-Reiten translate, \(\tau_n\) (and dual translate \(\tau^-_n\)). Let \(\mathcal M\) denote \(\tau_n\)-closure of \(D\Lambda\), where \(D=\Hom_k(-,k)\), and set \(\mathcal P(\mathcal M)\) to be the subcategory of objects in \(\mathcal M\) with projective dimension less than \(n\). Let \(\mathcal M_{\mathcal P}\) be the subcatgory of \(\mathcal M\) consisting of objects with no non-zero summands in \(\mathcal P(\mathcal M)\). Then \(\Lambda\) is said to be `\(n\)-complete' if its global dimension is at most \(n\), there exists a tilting \(\Lambda\)-module \(T\) such that \(\mathcal P(\mathcal M)=\text{add\,}T\), \(\mathcal M\) is an \(n\)-cluster tilting subcategory of \(T^\perp\) (the subcategory of mod-\(\Lambda\) consisting of objects \(X\) such that \(\text{Ext}^i(T,X)=0\) for \(i>0\)), and \(\text{Ext}^i(\mathcal M_{\mathcal P},\Lambda)=0\) for \(0<i<n\). Then it is shown that \(\Lambda\) is necessarily \(\tau_n\)-finite, i.e. global dimension at most \(n\) and \(\tau_n^l\) vanishing on \(D\Lambda\) for some \(l\). Let \(M\) be an additive generator for \(\mathcal M\). Then the `cone' of \(\Lambda\) is the endomorphism algebra of \(M\). The main result of the paper is to show that, if \(\Lambda\) is \(n\)-complete, its cone is \((n+1)\)-complete. This is a very interesting paper for several reasons. For example, the theory developed, including the above result, is a natural generalisation of some of the theory of Auslander algebras. It gives a nice way to construct \(n\)-cluster-tilting subcategories, inductively (by repeatedly applying the above result). There are close connections with the theory of Cohen-Macaulay modules over a singularity and some interesting higher dimensional Auslander-Reiten quivers appear.
