Abstract: In this paper we study right n-Nakayama algebras. Right n-Nakayama algebras appear naturally in the study of representation-finite algebras. We show that an artin algebra Lambda is representation-finite if and only if Lambda is right n-Nakayama for some positive integer n. We classify hereditary right n-Nakayama algebras. We also define right n-coNakayama algebras and show that an artin algebra Lambda is right n-coNakayama if and only if Lambda is left n-Nakayama. We then study right 2-Nakayama algebras. We show how to compute all the indecomposable modules and almost split sequences over a right 2-Nakayama algebra. We end by classifying finite dimensional right 2-Nakayama algebras in terms of their quivers with relations.


In this paper, the authors introduce the notion of \(n\)-factor serial modules. A non-uniserial right \(\Lambda\)-module \(M\) of length \(l\) is \(n\)-factor serial (\(l \geq n > 1\)), if \(\frac{M}{rad^{l-n}(M)}\) is uniserial and \(\frac{M}{rad^{l-n+1}(M)}\) is not uniserial. In some sense, \(n\) is an invariant that measures how far \(M\) is from being uniserial. An Artin algebra is right \(n\)-Nakayama if every finitely generated indecomposable right \(\Lambda\)-module is \(i\)-factor serial for some \(1 \leq i \leq n\) and there exists at least one indecomposable \(n\)-factor serial right -module. They show that an Artin algebra \(\Lambda\) is representation-finite if and only if \(\Lambda\) is right \(n\)-Nakayama for some positive integer \(n.\) For an Artin algebra \(\Lambda\) which is not a Nakayama algebra, they show that \(\Lambda\) is right 2-Nakayama if and only if every indecomposable non-projective right \(\Lambda\)-module is uniserial. They also compute indecomposable modules and almost split sequences over right 3-Nakayama and right 4-Nakayama algebras, and classify finite dimensional right 3-Nakayama and right 4-Nakayama algebras in terms of their quivers with relations.
