Ladder functors with an application to representation-finite Artinian rings.
Laura algebras and quasi-directed components
Using a notion of distance between indecomposable modules we deduce new characterizations of laura algebras and quasi-directed Auslander-Reiten components. Afterwards, we investigate the infinite radical of Artin algebras and show that there exist infinitely many non-directing modules between two indecomposable modules X and Y if . We draw as inference that a convex component is quasi-directed if and only if it is almost directed.
Left sections and the left part of an artin algebra
We define a notion of left section in an Auslander-Reiten component, by weakening one of the axioms for sections. We derive a generalisation of the Liu-Skowroński criterion for tilted algebras, then apply our results to describe the Auslander-Reiten components lying in the left part of an artin algebra.
Left-right projective bimodules and stable equivalences of Morita type
We study a connection between left-right projective bimodules and stable equivalences of Morita type for finite-dimensional associative algebras over a field. Some properties of the category of all finite-dimensional left-right projective bimodules for self-injective algebras are also given.
