Degrees of irreducible morphisms and finite-representation type

We study the degree of irreducible morphisms in any Auslander-Reiten component of a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. We give a characterization for an irreducible morphism to have finite left (or right) degree. This is used to prove our main theorem: An algebra is of finite representation type if and only if for every indecomposable projective the inclusion of the radical in the projective has finite right degree, which is equivalent to require that for every indecomposable injective the epimorphism from the injective to its quotient by its socle has finite left degree. We also apply the techniques that we develop: We study when the non-zero composite of a path of

Composition of irreducible morphisms in quasi-tubes

We characterize the finiteness of the representation type of an artin algebra in terms of the behavior of the projective covers and the injective envelopes of the simple modules with respect to the infinite radical of the module category. In case the algebra is representation-finite, we show that the nilpotency of the radical of the module category is the maximal depth of the composites of these maps, which is independent from the maximal length of the indecomposable modules.

Degrees of irreducible morphisms in generalized standard coherent almost cyclic components

We study here the nonzero composite of three irreducible morphisms between indecomposable modules lying in the fourth power of the radical.

The radical of a module category of string algebra

We consider A to be an artin algebra. We study the degrees of irreducible morphisms between modules in Auslander–Reiten components Γ having only almost split sequences with at most two indecomposable middle terms, that is, α(Γ) ≤ 2. We prove that if f : X → Y is an irreducible epimorphism of finite left degree with X or Y indecomposable, then there exists a module Z ∈ Γ and a morphism φ ∈ ℜn(Z, X)\ℜn+1(Z, X) for some positive integer n such that fφ = 0. In particular, for such components if A is a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field and f = (f1, f2)t : X → Y1 ⊕ Y2 is an irreducible epimorphism of finite left degree then we show that dl(f) = dl(f1) + dl(f2). We also characterize the artin algebras of finite representation type with α(ΓA) ≤ 2 in terms of a finite number of irreducible morphisms with finite degree.

On the degree of irreducible morphisms

The module category of any artin algebra is filtered by the powers of its radical, thus defining an associated graded category. As an extension of the degree of irreducible morphisms, this text introduces the degree of morphisms in the module category. When the ground ring is a perfect field, and the given morphism behaves nicely with respect to covering theory (as do irreducible morphisms with indecomposable domain or indecomposable codomain), it is shown that the degree of the morphism is finite if and only if its induced functor has a representable kernel. This gives a generalisation of Igusa and Todorov result, about irreducible morphisms with finite left degree and over an algebraically closed field. As a corollary, generalisations of known results on the degrees of irreducible morphisms over perfect fields are given. Finally, this study is applied to the composition of paths of irreducible morphisms in relationship to the powers of the radical.

On the composite of two irreducible morphisms in radical cube

We study the composition of irreducible morphisms between indecomposable modules lying in quasi-tubes of the Auslander–Reiten quivers of artin algebras in relation with the powers of the radical of their module category.
