Tame hereditary path algebras and amenability

Abstract

In this note we are concerned with the notion of amenable representation type as defined in a recent paper by Gábor Elek. Roughly speaking, an algebra is of amenable type if for all $\varepsilon > 0$, every finite-dimensional module has a submodule which is a direct sum of modules which are small with respect to $\varepsilon$ such that the quotient is also small in that respect. We will show that the tame hereditary path algebras of quivers of extended Dynkin type over any field $k$ are of amenable type, thus extending a conjecture in the aforementioned paper to another class of tame algebras. In doing so, we avoid using already known results for string algebras. We also show that path algebras of wild acyclic quivers over finite fields are not amenable.

Minuscule Relations in Quantum $K$-Theory of Flag Varieties

We study the quantum $K$-theory of the flag variety $G/B$. For each minuscule fundamental weight $\varpi$, we construct an explicit relation in the torus-equivariant quantum $K$-theory $QK_T(G/B)$. The relation can be regarded as a quantum deformation of the character of the irreducible representation with highest weight $\varpi$.

A Gelfand model for the Okada algebra

In this paper, we construct a Gelfand model for the Okada algebra $O_n(X,Y)$ with generic parameters $X$ and $Y$, on the space of symmetric Okada arc diagrams using a conjugation-type action. The model is constructed inductively by identifying the Okada algebra as a diagram algebra and using the Jones basic construction to obtain a tower of algebras that are themselves Okada algebras at lower levels. We use the model to obtain all the irreducible representations of $O_n(X,Y)$, indexed by the elements of rank $n$ of the Young--Fibonacci lattice, and identify them with the cell modules of $O_n(X,Y)$.

Categorical Lie-Rinehart modules and Shen-Larsson functors

We develop a categorical framework for Lie-Rinehart monoids and their weak modules in a symmetric monoidal category. Using crossed homomorphisms, we construct a natural action of the monoidal category of modules over a Lie monoid on the category of weak Lie-Rinehart modules, thereby obtaining categorical versions of the Shen-Larsson functors. We further characterize the conditions under which the category of weak modules admits a monoidal structure and identify the corresponding condition for the associated functors to be strict monoidal. A dual theory for Lie- Rinehart comonoids and weak comodules is developed using cocrossed homomorphisms. Combining the module and comodule constructions, we obtain a bimodule category structure on the category of weak modules. Finally, we specialize the general framework to the symmetric monoidal category of super vector spaces, recovering Lie-Rinehart superalgebras and their associated Shen-Larsson-type constructions.
