We generalize the relative (co)tilting theory of Auslander-Solberg in the category mod Λ of finitely generated left modules over an artin algebra Λ to certain subcategories of mod Λ. We then use the theory (relative (co)tilting theory in subcategories) to generalize one of the main result of Marcos et al. [Comm. Algebra 33 (2005)].

We first describe the Sekine quantum groups ${𝒜}_k$ (the finite-dimensional Kac algebra of Kac-Paljutkin type) by generators and relations explicitly, which maybe convenient for further study. Then we classify all irreducible representations of ${𝒜}_k$ and describe their representation rings $r\left({𝒜}_k\right)$. Finally, we compute the the Frobenius-Perron dimension of the Casimir element and the Casimir number of $r\left({𝒜}_k\right)$.

A representation field for a non-maximal order $ℌ$ in a central simple algebra is a subfield of the spinor class field of maximal orders which determines the set of spinor genera of maximal orders containing a copy of $ℌ$. Not every non-maximal order has a representation field. In this work we prove that every commutative order has a representation field and give a formula for it. The main result is proved for central simple algebras over arbitrary global fields.

A module M is called finendo (cofinendo) if M is finitely generated (respectively, finitely cogenerated) over its endomorphism ring. It is proved that if R is any hereditary ring, then the following conditions are equivalent: (a) Every right R-module is finendo; (b) Every left R-module is cofinendo; (c) R is left pure semisimple and every finitely generated indecomposable left R-module is cofinendo; (d) R is left pure semisimple and every finitely generated indecomposable left R-module is finendo;...

We develop the representation theory of selfinjective algebras of strictly canonical type and prove that their Auslander-Reiten quivers admit quasi-tubes maximally saturated by simple and projective modules.

Let Λ be an artinian ring and let 𝔯 denote its Jacobson radical. We show that a simple module of finite projective dimension has no self-extensions when Λ is graded by its radical, with at most two simple modules and 𝔯⁴ = 0, in particular, when Λ is a finite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field with at most two simple modules and 𝔯³ = 0.

We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between basic cotilting complexes and certain contravariantly finite subcategories of the bounded derived category of an artin algebra. This is a triangulated version of a result by Auslander and Reiten. We use this to find an existence criterion for complements to exceptional complexes.

By an extension algebra of a finite-dimensional K-algebra A we mean a Hochschild extension algebra of A by the dual A-bimodule $Ho{m}_K(A,K)$. We study the problem of when extension algebras of a K-algebra A are symmetric. (1) For an algebra A= KQ/I with an arbitrary finite quiver Q, we show a sufficient condition in terms of a 2-cocycle for an extension algebra to be symmetric. (2) Let L be a finite extension field of K. By using a given 2-cocycle of the K-algebra L, we construct a 2-cocycle of the K-algebra...

We compute a complete set of nonisomorphic minimal Auslander generators for the exterior algebra in two variables.

We prove that the component quiver ${\Sigma }_A$ of a connected self-injective artin algebra A of infinite representation type is fully cyclic, that is, every finite set of components of the Auslander-Reiten quiver ${\Gamma }_A$ of A lies on a common oriented cycle in ${\Sigma }_A$.

Let $Q$ be a finite union of Dynkin quivers, $G\subseteq \mathrm{Aut}\left(𝕜Q\right)$ a finite abelian group, $\widehat{Q}$ the generalized McKay quiver of $(Q,G)$ and ${\Gamma }_Q$ the Auslander-Reiten quiver of $𝕜Q$. Then $G$ acts functorially on the quiver ${\Gamma }_Q$. We show that the Auslander-Reiten quiver of $𝕜\widehat{Q}$ coincides with the generalized McKay quiver of $({\Gamma }_Q,G)$.

The Dynkin algebras are the hereditary artin algebras of finite representation type. The paper determines the number of complete exceptional sequences for any Dynkin algebra. Since the complete exceptional sequences for a Dynkin algebra of Dynkin type Δ correspond bijectively to the maximal chains in the lattice of non-crossing partitions of type Δ, the calculations presented here may also be considered as a categorification of the corresponding result for non-crossing partitions.

Auslander’s representation dimension measures how far a finite dimensional algebra is away from being of finite representation type. In [1], M. Auslander proved that a finite dimensional algebra A is of finite representation type if and only if the representation dimension of A is at most 2. Recently, R. Rouquier proved that there are finite dimensional algebras of an arbitrarily large finite representation dimension. One of the exciting open problems is to show that all finite dimensional algebras...

A ring Λ satisfies the Generalized Auslander-Reiten Condition ( ) if for each Λ-module M with $Ex{t}^i(M,M\oplus \Lambda )=0$ for all i > n the projective dimension of M is at most n. We prove that this condition is satisfied by all n-symmetric algebras of quasitilted type.
