We introduce twisted matrix factorizations for quantum complete intersections of codimension two. For such an algebra, we show that in a given dimension, almost all the indecomposable modules with bounded minimal projective resolutions correspond to such matrix factorizations.
The ADR algebra $R_A$ of a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ is a quasihereditary algebra. In this paper we study the Ringel dual $\mathcal{R}(R_A)$ of $R_A$. We prove that $\mathcal{R}(R_A)$ can be identified with $(R_{A^{op}})^{op}$, under certain 'minimal' regularity conditions for $A$. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for the ADR algebra to be Ringel selfdual.
We compute the Hochschild cohomology ring of the algebras $A= k\langle X, Y\rangle/ (X^a, XY-qYX, Y^a)$ over a field $k$ where $a\geq 2$ and where $q\in k$ is a primitive $a$-th root of unity. We find the the dimension of $\mathrm{HH}^n(A)$ and show that it is independent of $a$. We compute explicitly the ring structure of the even part of the Hochschild cohomology modulo homogeneous nilpotent elements.
We study weakly symmetric special biserial algebras of infinite representation type. We show that usually some socle deformation of such an algebra has non-periodic bounded modules. The exceptions are precisely the algebras whose Brauer graph is a tree with no multiple edges. If the algebra has a non-periodic bounded module then its Hochschild cohomology cannot satisfy the finite generation property (Fg).
Assume $A$ is weakly symmetric, indecomposable, with radical cube zero and radical square non-zero. We show that such algebra of wild representation type does not have a non-projective module $M$ whose ext algebra is finite-dimensional. This gives a complete classification weakly symmetric indecomposable algebras which have a non-projective module whose ext algebra is finite-dimensional.
We classify Borel-Schur algebras having finite representation type. We also de- termine Auslander-Reiten sequences for a large class of simple modules over Borel- Schur algebras. A partial information on the structure of the socles of Borel-Schur algebras is given.
Let Lie(n) be the Lie module of the symmetric group S_n over a field F of characteristic p>0, that is, Lie(n) is the left ideal of FS_n generated by the Dynkin-Specht-Wever element. We study the problem of parametrizing non-projective indecomposable summands of Lie(n), via describing their vertices and sources. Our main result shows that this can be reduced to the case when n is a power of p. When n=9 and p=3, and when n=8 and p=2, we present a precise answer. This suggests a possible parametrization for arbitrary prime powers.
We analyse the recursive formula found for various Ext groups for $\SL_2(k)$, $k$ a field of characteristic $p$, and derive various generating functions for these groups. We use this to show that the growth rate for the cohomology of $\SL_2(k)$ is at least exponential. In particular, $\max \{\dim \Ext^i_{\SL_2(k)}(k, Δ(a))\mid a,i \in \N \}$ has (at least) exponential growth for all $p$. We also show that $\max \{\dim \Ext^i_{\SL_2(k)}(k, Δ(a))\mid a\in \N \}$ for a fixed $i$ is bounded.
We show that the complexity of the Lie module $\mathrm{Lie}(n)$ in characteristic $p$ is bounded above by $m$ where $p^m$ is the largest $p$-power dividing $n$ and, if $n$ is not a $p$-power, is equal to the maximum of the complexities of $\Lie(p^i)$ for $1 \leq i \leq m$.
In recent work of R. M. Bryant and the second author a (partial) modular analogue of Klyachko's 1974 result on Lie powers of the natural $\rm{GL}(n,K)$ was presented. There is was shown that nearly all of the indecomposable summands of the $r$th tensor power also occur up to isomorphism as summands of the $r$th Lie power provided that $r\neq p^m$ and $r \neq 2p^m$, where $p$ is the characteristic of $K$. In the current paper we restrict attention to ${\rm GL}(2,K)$ and consider the missing cases where $r = p^m$ and $r = 2p^m$. In particular, we prove that the indecomposable summand of the $r$th tensor power of the natural module with highest weight $(r-1,1)$ is a summand of the $r$th Lie power if and only if $r$ is a not power of $p$.
The Lie module of the group algebra $FS_n$ of the symmetric group is known to be not projective if and only if the characteristic $p$ of $F$ divides $n$. We show that in this case its non-projective summands belong to the principal block of $FS_n$. Let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $m$ over $F$, and let $L^n(V)$ be the $n$-th homogeneous part of the free Lie algebra on $V$; this is a polynomial representation of $GL_m(F)$ of degree $n$, or equivalently, a module of the Schur algebra $S(m,n)$. Our result implies that, when $m \geq n$, every summand of $L^n(V)$ which is not a tilting module belongs to the principal block of $S(m,n)$, by which we mean the block containing the $n$-th symmetric power of $V$.
We establish a lower bound for the representation dimension of all the classical Hecke algebras of types A, B and D. For all the type A algebras, and most of the algebras of types B and D, we also establish upper bounds. Moreover, we establish bounds for the representation dimension of group algebras of some symmetric groups.
In this paper we evaluate Chebyshev polynomials of the second-kind on a class of symmetric integer matrices, namely on adjacency matrices of simply laced Dynkin and extended Dynkin diagrams. As an application of these results we explicitly calculate minimal projective resolutions of simple modules of symmetric algebras with radical cube zero that are of finite and tame representation type.
We study the Delta-filtered modules for the Auslander algebra of k[T]/T^n\rtimes C_2 where C_2 is the cyclic group of order two. The motivation for this is the bijection between parabolic orbits in the nilradical of a parabolic subgroup of SL_n and certain Delta-filtered modules for the Auslander algebra of k[T]/T^n as found by Hille and Roehrle and Bruestle et al. Under this bijection, the Richardson orbit (i.e. the dense orbit) corresponds to the Delta-filtered module without self-extensions. It has remained an open problem to describe such a correspondence for other classical groups. In this paper, we establish the Auslander algebra of k[T]/T^n\rtimes C_2 as the right candidate for the orthogonal groups. In particular, for any parabolic subgroup of an orthogonal group we construct a map from parabolic orbits to Delta-filtered modules and show that in the case of the Richardson orbit, the result has no self-extensions. One of the consequences of our work is that we are able to describe the extensions between special classes of Delta-filtered modules. In particular, we show that these extensions can grow arbitrarily large.
One of our main results is a classification all the weakly symmetric radical cube zero finite dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field having a theory of support via the Hochschild cohomology ring satisfying Dade's Lemma. Along the way we give a characterization of when a finite dimensional Koszul algebra has such a theory of support in terms of the graded centre of the Koszul dual.
We explicitly calculate a projective bimodule resolution for a special biserial algebra giving rise to the Hecke algebra H_q(S_4) when q=-1. We then determine the dimensions of the Hochschild cohomology groups.
We provide an upper bound for the dimension of the maximal projective submodule of the Lie module of the symmetric group of $n$ letters in prime characteristic $p$, where $n = pk$ with $p \nmid k$.
We completely describe the tree classes of the components of the stable Auslander-Reiten quiver of a quantum complete intersection. In particular, we show that the tree class is always $A_{\infty}$ whenever the algebra is of wild representation type. Moreover, in the tame case, there is one component of tree class $\tilde{A}_{12}$, whereas all the other are of tree class $A_{\infty}$.
