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.

Over an artin algebra Λ, for an additive subbifunctor F of [Formula: see text] with enough projectives and injectives, we introduce F-Gorenstein dimensions in this paper. The new relative dimensions are useful to characterize F-Gorenstein algebras and F-self-injective algebras. In addition, with the aid of F-Gorenstein dimensions, we obtain an equivalent condition for the finitistic dimension conjecture to hold, that is, fin.dim Λ < ∞ for all artin algebras Λ if and only if rel.fin.Gdim F Λ < ∞ for all artin algebras Λ.

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, 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 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.

Let [Formula: see text] be a Noetherian local ring with maximal ideal [Formula: see text] and residue field [Formula: see text]. The linearity defect of a finitely generated [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text], which is denoted [Formula: see text], is a numerical measure of how far [Formula: see text] is from having linear resolution. We study the linearity defect of the residue field. We give a positive answer to the question raised by Herzog and Iyengar of whether [Formula: see text] implies [Formula: see text], in the case when [Formula: see text].

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.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite-dimensional algebra. If [Formula: see text] is self-injective, then all modules are reflexive. Marczinzik recently has asked whether [Formula: see text] has to be self-injective in case all the simple modules are reflexive. Here, we exhibit an 8-dimensional algebra which is not self-injective, but such that all simple modules are reflexive (actually, for this example, the simple modules are the only non-projective indecomposable modules which are reflexive). In addition, we present some properties of simple reflexive modules in general. Marczinzik had motivated his question by providing large classes [Formula: see text] of algebras such that any algebra in [Formula: see text] which is not self-injective has simple modules which are not reflexive. However, as it turns out, most of these classes have the property that any algebra in [Formula: see text] which is not self-injective has simple modules which are not even torsionless.

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.

AbstractFor a module M Over an Artin algebra R, we discuss the question of whether the Yoneda extension algebra Ext(M, M) is finitely generated as an algebra. We give an answer for bounded modules M. (These are modules whose syzygies have direct summands of bounded lengths.)
