Given a locally bounded k-category R and a group acting freely on R we study the properties of the ideal generated by a class of indecomposable locally finite-dimensional modules called halflines (Theorem 3.3). They are applied to prove that under certain circumstances the Galois covering reduction to stabilizers, for the Galois covering F: R → R/G, is strictly full (Theorems 1.5 and 4.2).
We generalize the definition of quiver representation to arbitrary reductive groups. The classical definition corresponds to the general linear group. We also show that for classical groups our definition gives symplectic and orthogonal representations of quivers with involution inverting the direction of arrows.
We investigate gradings on tame blocks of group algebras whose defect groups are dihedral. For this subfamily of tame blocks we classify gradings up to graded Morita equivalence, we transfer gradings via derived equivalences, and we check the existence, positivity and tightness of gradings. We classify gradings by computing the group of outer automorphisms that fix the isomorphism classes of simple modules.
