Abstract: We introduce higher dimensional analogues of the Nakayama algebras from the viewpoint of Iyama's higher Auslander--Reiten theory. More precisely, for each Nakayama algebra A and each positive integer d, we construct a finite dimensional algebra A(d) having a distinguished d-cluster-tilting A(d)-module whose endomorphism algebra is a higher dimensional analogue of the Auslander algebra of A. We also construct higher dimensional analogues of the mesh category of type mathbbZAinfty and the tubes.


Because of their combinatorial nature, Nakayama algebras provide a playground for testing conjectures on finite dimensional algebras and their representations. Their importance comes from the fact that every representation-finite group algebra is stably equivalent to a Nakayama algebra. As representation-finite Artinian algebras, they can be characterized by the property that uniserial modules of a fixed length are invariant under the Auslander-Reiten translate. The indecomposable projective or injective modules over a Nakayama algebra are uniserial, and every Nakayama algebra is a factor algebra of a hereditary Noetherian semiprime ring. In the paper under review, higher Nakayama algebras are defined in the spirit of Iyama's higher Auslander-Reiten theory. For a hereditary algebra \(A\) of type \(\mathbb{A}_n\), the indecomposable \(A\)-modules correspond to intervals in the poset \(\mathbb{A}_n\), which leads to the Auslander algebra of \(A\). The higher Auslander algebras are obtained by iterating this purely combinatorial process, and higher Nakayama algebras of type \(\mathbb{A}\) are constructed as factor algebras with respect to a given Kupisch series, which determines the length of the indecomposable projectives. In the same spirit, higher self-injective Nakayama algebras and those with unbounded Kupisch series are considered.
