The representation type of tensor product algebras of finite-dimensional algebras is considered. The characterization of algebras A, B such that A ⊗ B is of tame representation type is given in terms of the Gabriel quivers of the algebras A, B.

We study the problem of classifying triangulated categories with finite-dimensional morphism spaces and finitely many indecomposables over an algebraically closed field $k$. We obtain a new proof of the following result due to Xiao and Zhu: the Auslander-Reiten quiver of such a category $𝒯$ is of the form $\mathbb{Z}\Delta /G$ where $\Delta$ is a disjoint union of simply-laced Dynkin diagrams and $G$ a weakly admissible group of automorphisms of $\mathbb{Z}\Delta$. Then we prove that for ‘most’ groups $G$, the category $𝒯$ is standard,i.e.$k$-linearly...

For a finite dimensional algebra A over an algebraically closed field, let T(A) denote the trivial extension of A by its minimal injective cogenerator bimodule. We prove that, if $T_A$ is a tilting module and $B=End{T}_A$, then T(A) is tame if and only if T(B) is tame.

The aim of this note is to give an affirmative answer to a problem raised in [9] by J. Nehring and A. Skowroński, concerning the number of nonstable ℙ₁(K)-families of quasi-tubes in the Auslander-Reiten quivers of the trivial extensions of tubular algebras over algebraically closed fields K.

We use modules of finite length to compare various generalizations of the classical tilting and cotilting modules introduced by Brenner and Butler [BrBu].

We show that any block of a group algebra of some finite group which is of wild representation type has many families of stable tubes.

Assume that S is a commutative complete discrete valuation domain of characteristic p, S* is the unit group of S and $G=G_p\times B$ is a finite group, where $G_p$ is a p-group and B is a p’-group. Denote by $S^{\lambda }G$ the twisted group algebra of G over S with a 2-cocycle λ ∈ Z²(G,S*). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for $S^{\lambda }G$ to be of OTP representation type, in the sense that every indecomposable $S^{\lambda }G$-module is isomorphic to the outer tensor product V W of an indecomposable $S^{\lambda }{G}_p$-module V and an irreducible $S^{\lambda }B$-module...

Let $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p$ be the ring of p-adic integers, $U\left(\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p\right)$ the unit group of $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p$ and $G=G_p\times B$ a finite group, where $G_p$ is a p-group and B is a p’-group. Denote by $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p^{\lambda }G$ the twisted group algebra of G over $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p$ with a 2-cocycle $\lambda \in Z²(G,U\left(\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p\right))$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p^{\lambda }G$ to be of OTP representation type, in the sense that every indecomposable $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p^{\lambda }G$-module is isomorphic to the outer tensor product V W of an indecomposable $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p^{\lambda }{G}_p$-module V and an irreducible $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p^{\lambda }B$-module W.

Let k be a field of characteristic different from 2. We consider two important tame non-polynomial growth algebras: the incidence k-algebra of the garland 𝒢₃ of length 3 and the incidence k-algebra of the enlargement of the Nazarova-Zavadskij poset 𝒩 𝓩 by a greatest element. We show that if Λ is one of these algebras, then there exists a special family of pointed Λ-modules, called an independent pair of dense chains of pointed modules. Hence, by a result of Ziegler, Λ admits a super-decomposable...
