Let $A$ be a representation-finite self-injective algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$. We give a new characterization for an orthogonal system in the stable module category $A$-$stmod$ to be a simple-minded system. As a by-product, we show that every Nakayama-stable orthogonal system in $A$-$stmod$ extends to a simple-minded system.
Recently, we obtained in [7] a new characterization for an orthogonal system to be a simple-minded system in the stable module category of any representation-finite self-injective algebra. In this paper, we apply this result to give an explicit construction of simple-minded systems over self-injective Nakayama algebras.
Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional self-injective algebra over an algebraically closed field, $mathcal{C}$ a stably quasi-serial component (i.e. its stable part is a tube) of rank $n$ of the Auslander-Reiten quiver of $A$, and $mathcal{S}$ be a simple-minded system of the stable module category $stmod{A}$. We show that the intersection $mathcal{S}capmathcal{C}$ is of size strictly less than $n$, and consists only of modules with quasi-length strictly less than $n$. In particular, all modules in the homogeneous tubes of the Auslander-Reiten quiver of $A$ cannot be in any simple-minded system.
Motivated by the relation between Schur algebra and the group algebra of a symmetric group, along with other similar examples in algebraic Lie theory, Min Fang and Steffen Koenig addressed some behaviour of the endomorphism algebra of a generator over a symmetric algebra, which they called gendo-symmetric algebra. Continuing this line of works, we classify in this article the representation-finite gendo-symmetric algebras that have at most one isomorphism class of indecomposable non-injective projective module. We also determine their almost { u}-stable derived equivalence classes in the sense of Wei Hu and Changchang Xi. It turns out that a representative can be chosen as the quotient of a representation-finite symmetric algebra by the socle of a certain indecomposable projective module.
We show that Auslander algebras have a unique tilting and cotilting module which is generated and cogenerated by a projective-injective; its endomorphism ring is called the projective quotient algebra. For any representation-finite algebra, we use the projective quotient algebra to construct desingularizations of quiver Grassmannians, orbit closures in representation varieties, and their desingularizations. This generalizes results of Cerulli Irelli, Feigin and Reineke.
Let $mathbf{k}$ be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, let $Lambda$ be a finite dimensional $mathbf{k}$-algebra and let $V$ be a $Lambda$-module with stable endomorphism ring isomorphic to $mathbf{k}$. If $Lambda$ is self-injective, then $V$ has a universal deformation ring $R(Lambda,V)$, which is a complete local commutative Noetherian $mathbf{k}$-algebra with residue field $mathbf{k}$. Moreover, if $Lambda$ is further a Frobenius $mathbf{k}$-algebra, then $R(Lambda,V)$ is stable under syzygies. We use these facts to determine the universal deformation rings of string $Lambda_{m,N}$-modules whose corresponding stable endomorphism ring is isomorphic to $mathbf{k}$, and which lie either in a connected component of the stable Auslander-Reiten quiver of $Lambda_{m,N}$ containing a module with endomorphism ring isomorphic to $mathbf{k}$ or in a periodic component containing only string $Lambda_{m,N}$-modules, where $mgeq 3$ and $Ngeq 1$ are integers, and $Lambda_{m,N}$ is a self-injective special biserial $mathbf{k}$-algebra.
