Abstract: In this paper we study multiserial and special multiserial algebras. These algebras are a natural generalization of biserial and special biserial algebras to algebras of wild representation type. We define a module to be multiserial if its radical is the sum of uniserial modules whose pairwise intersection is either 0 or a simple module. We show that all finitely generated modules over a special multiserial algebra are multiserial. In particular, this implies that, in analogy to special biserial algebras being biserial, special multiserial algebras are multiserial. We then show that the class of symmetric special multiserial algebras coincides with the class of Brauer configuration algebras, where the latter are a generalization of Brauer graph algebras. We end by showing that any symmetric algebra with radical cube zero is special multiserial and so, in particular, it is a Brauer configuration algebra.

Review text

In the article under review, the authors study multiserial and special multiserial algebras. They generalize the classical, and well studied notions of biserial and special biserial algebras.NEWLINENEWLINEA finitely generated module \(M\) over a finite dimensional algebra \(A\) is said to be multiserial if its radical is the sum of uniserial modules \(U_1,\cdots, U_l\) such that if \(i\neq j\), then \(U_i \cap U_j\) is either zero or a simple module. The algebra \(A\) is said to be multiserial if it is multiserial as a left or right module.NEWLINENEWLINEAn algebra is special multiserial if it is Morita equivalent to a quotient of a path algebra \(KQ\) by an admissible quiver \(I\) that satisfies the following property:NEWLINENEWLINEFor every arrow \(a\) in \(Q\) there is at most one arrow \(b\) in \(Q\) such that \(ab\notin I\) and at most one arrow \(c\) in \(Q\) such that \(ca\notin I\).NEWLINENEWLINEAs first main result, the authors show that every finitely generated module over a special multiserial algebra is multiserial. As corollary, the special-multiserial algebras are multiserial. The converse is usually wrong.NEWLINENEWLINEOver an algebraically closed field, they prove that the class of symmetric special multiserial algebras coincides with the class of Brauer configuration algebras. Finally, they show that a symmetric algebra \(A\) such that \(\text{Rad}^2(A)\neq 0\) and \(\text{Rad}^3(A)=0\) is a special multiserial algebra.
