Let R=k(Q,I) be a finite-dimensional algebra over a field k determined by a bound quiver (Q,I). We show that if R is a simply connected right multipeak algebra which is chord-free and $\tilde{}$-free in the sense defined below then R has the separation property and there exists a preprojective component of the Auslander-Reiten quiver of the category prin(R) of prinjective R-modules. As a consequence we get in 4.6 a criterion for finite representation type of prin(R) in terms of the prinjective Tits quadratic...

One wonders or not whether it is possible to determine the homotopy class of a vector field by examining some algebraic invariants associated with its qualitative behavior. In this paper, we investigate the algebraic invariants which are usually associated with the periodic solutions of non-singular Morse-Smale vector fields on the 3-sphere. We exhibit some examples for which there appears to be no correlation between the algebraic invariants of the periodic solutions and the homotopy classes of...

Given a compact manifold $N^n$, an integer $k\in {\mathbb{N}}_{*}$ and an exponent $1\le p<\infty$, we prove that the class $C^{\infty }({\overline{Q}}^m;N^n)$ of smooth maps on the cube with values into $N^n$ is dense with respect to the strong topology in the Sobolev space $W^{k,p}(Q^m;N^n)$ when the homotopy group ${\pi }_{\lfloor kp\rfloor }\left(N^n\right)$ of order $\lfloor kp\rfloor$ is trivial. We also prove density of maps that are smooth except for a set of dimension $m-\lfloor kp\rfloor -1$, without any restriction on the homotopy group of $N^n$.
