A new formula for the classical dominant dimension using bimodules

We show that a faithful projective-injective module over a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ has the double centraliser property if and only if $A$ as a bimodule is reflexive. More generally, we provide a new characterisation of the classical dominant dimension by showing that having dominant dimension at least $n$ is equivalent to the bimodule $A$ being $n$-torsion-free. This allows us to find new connections between the classical Tachikawa and Nakayama conjectures and Gorenstein homological algebra. Furthermore, we use our results to give new interpretations of Hochschild (co)homology of finite-dimensional algebras using higher Auslander-Reiten translates and the canonical bimodule in the sense of Fang, Kerner and Yamagata.

Spherical modules and the Auslander--Gorenstein condition for Auslander--Yoneda algebras

For a finite dimensional algebra $A$ of finite global dimension we study the Auslander--Yoneda algebra defined as the Yoneda algebra of the direct sum of all indecomposable $A$-modules. We show that the Auslander--Yoneda algebra is an Auslander--Gorenstein algebra if and only if every indecomposable left and right $A$-module is spherical in the sense of Auslander and Bridger. This motivates the study of spherical algebras defined by the condition that every indecomposable module is spherical. We characterize spherical algebras by a certain natural pair of subcategories being a split torsion pair. Moreover, we prove that representation-finite algebras which are spherical are directed and give a full classification of spherical Nakayama algebras. Furthermore, we show that replicated algebras of hereditary algebras are spherical. As a final application of the new notion of spherical algebras, we give a negative answer to a question of Venjakob on Auslander regular algebras in general, but show that there is a positive answer when assuming that every indecomposable left $A$-module is spherical.

Benchmarks in Leipzig

Between April 1 and May 15, 2026, a group of 49 mathematicians compiled a dataset of research-level mathematics questions with known answers. Most of the work was done during the 3-day workshop *Benchmarks in Leipzig* with 35 participants at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig, Germany. We present the resulting collection of 100 questions. We evaluated these questions in three stages: a single attempt by five state-of-the-art LLMs, followed by a 20-runs-per-model evaluation with three of these models, and finally a 3-run attempt with two heavy-thinking models. After Stage 1, 41 questions remained completely unsolved; after Stage 2, this count dropped to 16; and we concluded Stage 3 with only 2 unsolved questions. This demonstrates that the mathematical reasoning capabilities of LLMs are becoming impressive.

Classification of Auslander-Gorenstein monomial algebras: The acyclic case

We give a linear algebraic classification of Auslander regular acyclic monomial algebras via the Bruhat factorisation of the Coxeter matrix. Namely, we show under mild assumptions that a monomial acyclic quiver algebra is Auslander regular if and only if its Coxeter matrix $C$ has a Bruhat factorisation $U_1 P U_2$ with $U_1$ the identity matrix. In particular, this holds without restrictions for linear Nakayama algebras and we use the Bruhat decomposition to answer a question raised by Ringel by showing that his homological permutation coincides with the permutation coming from the Bruhat factorisation of the Coxeter matrix. We also use our methods to show that general Auslander regular acyclic quiver algebras are echelon-independent, proving a conjecture of Defant-Jiang-Marczinzik-Segovia-Speyer-Thomas-Williams, and we answer another question by Ringel on the delooping level of simple modules over Nakayama algebras.

On the global dimension of Nakayama algebras

We study the global dimension of Nakayama algebras. In the case of linear Nakayama algebras, which are in canonical bijection to Dyck paths, we show that the global dimension has the same distribution as the height of Dyck paths. For cyclic Nakayama algebras an explicit classification of finite global dimension is not known. However, we show that in certain special cases cyclic Nakayama algebras with finite global dimension can again be interpreted as Dyck paths. In particular, we show that there is a natural bijection between sincere Nakayama algebras and Dyck paths. In this case, we find that the global dimension is in fact twice the bounce count of the corresponding Dyck path.

An Auslander-Buchsbaum formula for higher Auslander algebras and applications

We provide a new non-commutative generalisation of the Auslander-Buchsbaum formula for higher Auslander algebras and use this to show that the class of tilted Auslander algebras, studied recently by Zito, and QF-1 algebras of global dimension at most 2, studied by Ringel in the 1970s, coincide. We furthermore give an explicit classification of this class of algebras and present generalisations to higher homological dimensions with a new local characterisation of QF-1 higher Auslander algebras.

On the interaction of the Coxeter transformation and the rowmotion bijection

Let $P$ be a finite poset and $L$ the associated distributive lattice of order ideals of $P$. Let $ρ$ denote the rowmotion bijection of the order ideals of $P$ viewed as a permutation matrix and $C$ the Coxeter matrix for the incidence algebra $kL$ of $L$. Then we show the identity $(ρ^{-1} C)^2=id$, as was originally conjectured by Sam Hopkins. Recently it was noted that the rowmotion bijection is a special case of the much more general grade bijection $R$ that exists for any Auslander regular algebra. This motivates to study the interaction of the grade bijection and the Coxeter matrix for general Auslander regular algebras. For the class of higher Auslander algebras coming from $n$-representation finite algebras we show that $(R^{-1} C)^2=id$ if $n$ is even and $(R^{-1}C+id)^2=0$ when $n$ is odd.

Periodic trivial extension algebras and fractionally Calabi-Yau algebras

We study periodicity and twisted periodicity of the trivial extension algebra $T(A)$ of a finite-dimensional algebra $A$. Our main results show that (twisted) periodicity of $T(A)$ is equivalent to $A$ being (twisted) fractionally Calabi-Yau of finite global dimension. We also extend this result to a large class of self-injective orbit algebras. As a significant consequence, these results give a partial answer to the periodicity conjecture of Erdmann-Skowroński, which expects the classes of periodic and twisted periodic algebras to coincide. On the practical side, it allows us to construct a large number of new examples of periodic algebras and fractionally Calabi-Yau algebras. We also establish a connection between periodicity and cluster tilting theory, by showing that twisted periodicity of $T(A)$ is equivalent the $d$-representation-finiteness of the $r$-fold trivial extension algebra $T_r(A)$ for some $r,d\ge 1$. This answers a question by Darpö and Iyama. As applications of our results, we give answers to some other open questions. We construct periodic symmetric algebras of wild representation type with arbitrary large minimal period, answering a question by Skowroński. We also show that the class of twisted fractionally Calabi-Yau algebras is closed under derived equivalence, answering a question by Herschend and Iyama.

A new characterisation of quasi-hereditary Nakayama algebras and applications

We call a finite dimensional algebra A S-connected if the projective dimensions of the simple A-modules form an interval. We prove that a Nakayama algebra A is S-connected if and only if A is quasi-hereditary. We apply this result to improve an inequality for the global dimension of quasi-hereditary Nakayama algebras due to Brown. We furthermore classify the Nakayama algebras where equality is attained in Brown's inequality and show that they are enumerated by the even indexed Fibonacci numbers if the algebra is cyclic and by the odd indexed Fibonacci numbers if the algebra is linear.

On properly stratified Gorenstein algebras

We show that a properly stratified algebra is Gorenstein if and only if the characteristic tilting module coincides with the characteristic cotilting module. We further show that properly stratified Gorenstein algebras $A$ enjoy strong homological properties such as all Gorenstein projective modules being properly stratified and all endomorphism rings $\operatorname{End}_A(Δ(i))$ being Frobenius algebras. We apply our results to the study of properly stratified algebras that are minimal Auslander-Gorenstein algebras in the sense of Iyama-Solberg and calculate under suitable conditions their Ringel duals. This applies in particular to all centraliser algebras of nilpotent matrices.

Gorenstein projective dimensions of modules over minimal Auslander-Gorenstein algebras

In this article we investigate the relations between the Gorenstein projective dimensions of $Λ$-modules and their socles for minimal n-Auslander-Gorenstein algebras $Λ$ in the sense of Iyama and Solberg \cite{IS}. First we give a description of projective-injective $Λ$-modules in terms of their socles. Then we prove that a $Λ$-module $N$ has Gorenstein projective dimension at most n iff its socle has Gorenstein projective dimension at most n iff $N$ is cogenerated by a projective $Λ$-module. Furthermore, we show that minimal n-Auslander-Gorenstein algebras can be characterised by the relations between the Gorenstein projective dimensions of modules and their socles.
