Preprojective algebras, skew group algebras and Morita equivalences

Abstract

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field of characteristic $p$ and $G$ be a cyclic $p$-group which acts on a finite acyclic quiver $Q$. The folding process associates a Cartan triple to the action. We establish a Morita equivalence between the skew group algebra of the preprojective algebra of $Q$ and the generalized preprojective algebra associated to the Cartan triple in the sense of Geiss, Leclerc and Schr\"{o}er. The Morita equivalence induces an isomorphism between certain ideal monoids of these preprojective algebras, which is compatible with the embedding of Weyl groups appearing in the folding process.
