Abstract: For a hereditary, finite dimensional

B b b k

-algebra

A

the Coxeter transformation is a linear endomorphism

P h i_{A} c o l o n m a t h s f K_{0} (m a t h s f m o d A) o m a t h s f K_{0} (m a t h s f m o d A)

of the Grothendieck group

m a t h s f K_{0} (m a t h s f m o d A)

of

m a t h s f m o d A

such that

P h i_{A} [M] = [a u_{A} M]

for every non-projective indecomposable

A

-module

M

, that is the Auslander-Reiten translation

a u_{A}

induces a linear endomorphism of

m a t h s f K_{0} (m a t h s f m o d A)

. It is natural to ask whether there are other algebras

A

having a linear endomorphism

P h i_{A} i n o p e r a t o r n a m e {E n d}_{m} a t h b b Z (m a t h s f K_{0} (m a t h s f m o d A))

with

P h i_{A} [M] = [a u_{A} M]

for all non-projective

M i n m a t h s f i n d A

. We will show that this is the case for all Nakayama algebras. Conversely, we will show that if an algebra

A = B b b k Q / I

, where

Q

is a connected and non-acyclic quiver and

I l h d B b b k Q

is an admissible ideal, admits such a linear endomorphism then

A

is already a cyclic Nakayama algebra.
