Finite Versus Infinite Dimensional Representations — A New Definition of Tameness

Part of the book series: Trends in Mathematics ((TM))

Abstract

Let Λ be a finite dimensional algebra over some algebraically closed field k. In this note I discuss the relationship between finite and infinite dimensional modules over Λ. This discussion is based on the following three fundamental concepts:

  • fp-idempotent ideals in the category mod Λ of finite dimensional Λ-modules

  • endofinite modules in the category Mod Λ of all Λ-modules

  • coherent functors Mod Γ→ Mod Λ between two module categories

This article is dedicated to Professor Herbert Kupisch on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
