Let A be a finite-dimensional, basic, connected algebra over an algebraically closed field. Denote by Γ(A) the Auslander-Reiten quiver of A. We show that A is representation-finite if and only if Γ(A) has at most finitely many vertices lying on oriented cycles and finitely many orbits with respect to the action of the Auslander-Reiten translation.
We show that an arbitrary irreducible representation T of a real or complex algebra on the F-space (s), or, more generally, on an arbitrary infinite (topological) product of the field of scalars, is totally irreducible, provided its commutant is trivial. This provides an affirmative solution to a problem of Fell and Doran for representations on these spaces.
Applying the classical work of Nakayama [Ann. of Math. 40 (1939)], we exhibit a general form of non-Frobenius self-injective finite-dimensional algebras over a field.
An easy explicit construction is given for a full and faithful functor from the bounded derived category of modules over an associative algebra A to the stable category of the repetitive algebra of A. This construction simplifies the one given by Happel.
We extend the theory of spinor class fields and relative spinor class fields to study representation problems in several classical linear algebraic groups over number fields. We apply this theory to study the set of isomorphism classes of maximal orders of central simple algebras containing a given maximal Abelian suborder. We also study isometric embeddings of one skew-Hermitian Quaternionic lattice into another.
