Let A be an artin algebra over a commutative artin ring R, mod A be the category of finitely generated right A-modules, and rad∞ (modA) be the infinite power of the Jacobson radical rad(modA) of modA. Recall that A is said to be representation-finite if mod A admits only finitely many non-isomorphic indecomposable modules. It is known that A is representation-finite if and only if rad∞ (mod A) = 0. Moreover, from the validity of the First Brauer–Thrall Conjecture [26, 2] we know that A is representation-finite if and only if there is a common bound on the length of indecomposable modules in mod A.

In this paper we are going to use a result of H. Harada and Y. Sai concerning composition of nonisomorphisms between indecomposable modules and the theory of almost split sequences introduced in the representation theory of Artin algebras by M. Auslander and I. Reiten to obtain the inductive step in the second Brauer-Thrall conjecture.Section 1 is devoted to giving the necessary background in the theory of almost split sequences.As an application we get the first Brauer-Thrall conjecture for Artin algebras. This conjecture says that there is no bound on the length of the finitely generated indecomposable modules over an Artin algebra of infinite type, i.e., an Artin algebra such that there are infinitely many nonisomorphic indecomposable finitely generated modules. This result was first proved by A. V. Roiter [8] and later in general for Artin rings by M. Auslander [2] using categorical methods.

Let Λ be an artin algebra, that is, an artin ring that is a finitely generated module over its center C which is also an artin ring. We denote by mod Λ the category of finitely generated left Λ-modules. We recall that the category of finitely generated modules modulo projectives is the category given by the following data: the objects are the finitely generated Λ-modules.

Let [Formula: see text] be an Artin algebra. It is well known that [Formula: see text] is selfinjective if and only if every finitely generated [Formula: see text]-module is reflexive. In this paper, we pose and motivate the question whether an algebra [Formula: see text] is selfinjective if and only if every simple module is reflexive. We give a positive answer to this question for large classes of algebras which include for example all Gorenstein algebras and all QF-3 algebras.

Let Λ be an artin algebra, and denote by mod Λ the category of finitely generated Λ-modules. All modules we consider are finitely generated.We recall from [6] that a nonsplit exact sequence in mod A is said to be almost split if A and C are indecomposable, and given a map h: X → C which is not an isomorphism and with X indecomposable, there is some t: X → B such that gt = h.Almost split sequences have turned out to be useful in the study of representation theory of artin algebras. Given a nonprojective indecomposable Λ-module C (or an indecomposable noninjective Λ-module A), we know thatthere exists a unique almost split sequence [6, Proposition 4.3], [5, Section 3].

Let R be a ring. Modules satisfying ascending or descending chain conditions (respectively, acc and dcc) on non-summand submodules belongs to some particular classes [Formula: see text], such as the class of all R-modules, finitely generated, finite-dimensional and cyclic modules, are considered. It is proved that a module M satisfies acc (respectively, dcc) on non-summands if and only if M is semisimple or Noetherian (respectively, Artinian). Over a right Noetherian ring R, a right R-module M satisfies acc on finitely generated non-summands if and only if M satisfies acc on non-summands; a right R-module M satisfies dcc on finitely generated non-summands if and only if M is locally Artinian. Moreover, if a ring R satisfies dcc on cyclic non-summand right ideals, then R is a semiregular ring such that the Jacobson radical J is left t-nilpotent.

AbstractLet R be a commutative ring with identity, and let A be a finitely generated R-algebra with Jacobson radical N and center C. An R-inertial subalgebra of A is a R-separable subalgebra B with the property that B+N=A. Suppose A is separable over C and possesses a finite group G of R-automorphisms whose restriction to C is faithful with fixed ring R. If R is an inertial subalgebra of C, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an R-inertial subalgebra of A are found when the order of G is a unit in R. Under these conditions, an R-inertial subalgebra B of A is characterized as being the fixed subring of a group of R-automorphisms of A. Moreover, A ⋍ B ⊗R C. Analogous results are obtained when C has an R-inertial subalgebra S ⊃ R.

AbstractWe prove two approximations of the open problem of whether the adjoint group of a non-nilpotent nil ring can be finitely generated. We show that the adjoint group of a non-nilpotent Jacobson radical cannot be boundedly generated and, on the other hand, construct a finitely generated, infinite-dimensional nil algebra whose adjoint group is generated by elements of bounded torsion.

AbstractWe prove that the number of terms in the middle of an almost split sequence in the module category of a cycle-finite artin algebra is bounded by 5.
