Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2, and let W be the ring of infinite Witt vectors over k. Suppose G is a finite group and B is a block of kG with a dihedral defect group D such that there are precisely two isomorphism classes of simple B-modules. We determine the universal deformation ring R(G,V) for every finitely generated kG-module V which belongs to B and whose stable endomorphism ring is isomorphic to k. The description by Erdmann of the quiver and relations of the basic algebra of B is usually only determined up to a certain parameter c which is either 0 or 1. We show that R(G,V) is isomorphic to a subquotient ring of WD for all V as above if and only if c=0, giving an answer to a question raised by the first author and Chinburg in this case. Moreover, we prove that c=0 if and only if B is Morita equivalent to a principal block.
Let k be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, and let W be the ring of infinite Witt vectors over k. Suppose G is a finite group and B is a block of kG of infinite tame representation type. We find all finitely generated kG-modules V that belong to B and whose endomorphism ring is isomorphic to k and determine the universal deformation ring R(G,V) for each of these modules.
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field, let $A$ be a finite dimensional $k$-algebra and let $V$ be a $A$-module with stable endomorphism ring isomorphic to $k$. If $A$ is self-injective then $V$ has a universal deformation ring $R(A,V)$, which is a complete local commutative Noetherian $k$-algebra with residue field $k$. Moreover, if $Lambda$ is also a Frobenius $k$-algebra then $R(A,V)$ is stable under syzygies. We use these facts to determine the universal deformation rings of string $Ar$-modules whose stable endomorphism ring isomorphic to $k$, where $Ar$ is a symmetric special biserial $k$-algebra that has quiver with relations depending on the four parameters $ bar{r}=(r_0,r_1,r_2,k)$ with $r_0,r_1,r_2geq 2$ and $kgeq 1$.
Let $mathbf{k}$ be a field of arbitrary characteristic, let $Lambda$ be a finite dimensional $mathbf{k}$-algebra, and let $V$ be a finitely generated $Lambda$-module. F. M. Bleher and the third author previously proved that $V$ has a well-defined versal deformation ring $R(Lambda,V)$. If the stable endomorphism ring of $V$ is isomorphic to $mathbf{k}$, they also proved under the additional assumption that $Lambda$ is self-injective that $R(Lambda,V)$ is universal. In this paper, we prove instead that if $Lambda$ is arbitrary but $V$ is Gorenstein-projective then $R(Lambda,V)$ is also universal when the stable endomorphism ring of $V$ is isomorphic to $mathbf{k}$. Moreover, we show that singular equivalences of Morita type (as introduced by X. W. Chen and L. G. Sun) preserve the isomorphism classes of versal deformation rings of finitely generated Gorenstein-projective modules over Gorenstein algebras. We also provide examples. In particular, if $Lambda$ is a monomial algebra in which there is no overlap (as introduced by X. W. Chen, D. Shen and G. Zhou) we prove that every finitely generated indecomposable Gorenstein-projective $Lambda$-module has a universal deformation ring that is isomorphic to either $mathbf{k}$ or to $mathbf{k}[![t]!]/(t^2)$.
It is proved that if A_p is a countable elementary abelian p-group, then: (i) The ring End(A_p) does not admit a nondiscrete locally compact ring topology. (ii) Under (CH) the simple ring End(A_p)/I, where I is the ideal of End(A_p) consisting of all endomorphisms with finite images, does not admit a nondiscrete locally compact ring topology. (iii) The finite topology on End(A_p) is the only second metrizable ring topology on it. Moreover, a characterization of completely simple endomorphism rings of the endomorphism rings of modules over commutative rings is also obtained.
Let $mathbf{k}$ be an algebraically closed field, and let $Lambda$ be a finite dimensional $mathbf{k}$-algebra. We prove that if $Lambda$ is a Gorenstein algebra, then every finitely generated Cohen-Macaulay $Lambda$-module $V$ whose stable endomorphism ring is isomorphic to $mathbf{k}$ has a universal deformation ring $R(Lambda,V)$, which is a complete local commutative Noetherian $mathbf{k}$-algebra with residue field $mathbf{k}$, and which is also stable under taking syzygies. We investigate a particular non-self-injective Gorenstein algebra $Lambda_0$, which is of infinite global dimension and which has exactly three isomorphism classes of finitely generated indecomposable Cohen-Macaulay $Lambda_0$-modules $V$ whose stable endomorphism ring is isomorphic to $mathbf{k}$. We prove that in this situation, $R(Lambda_0,V)$ is isomorphic either to $mathbf{k}$ or to $mathbf{k}[[t]]/(t^2)$.
