On τ-tilting finite simply connected algebras Qi Wang On the occasion of Professor Susumu Ariki’s 60th birthday. Abstract We show that τ-tilting finite simply connected algebras are representation- finite. Then, some related algebras are considered, including iterated tilted algebras, tubular algebras and so on. We also prove that the τ-tilting finiteness of non-sincere algebras can be reduced to that of sincere algebras. This motivates us to give a complete list of τ-tilting finite sincere simply connected algebras. Keywords: Support τ-tilting modules, τ-tilting finite, simply connected algebras. 1 Introduction In this paper, we always assume that A is an associative finite-dimensional basic algebra with an identity over an algebraically closed field K. Moreover, the representation type of A is divided into representation-finite, (infinite-)tame and wild. In recent years, τ-tilting theory introduced by Adachi, Iyama and Reiten [AIR] has become increasingly important, in which the core concept is the notion of support τ- tilting modules: a right A-module M is called support τ-tilting if HomAM (M,τM)=0 taking over AM := A/A(1 − e)A, where e is an idempotent of A such that the simple summands of eA/(erad A) are exactly the simple composition factors of M. Moreover, a support τ-tilting A-module M is called τ-tilting if AM = A, and any indecomposable direct summand of τ-tilting modules is called a τ-rigid module. The class of support τ-tilting modules is in bijection with the class of two-term silting complexes, left finite semibricks and so on. We refer to [AIR] and [Asa] for details. We are interested in τ-tilting finite algebras studied in [DIJ], that is, algebras with finitely many pairwise non-isomorphic basic τ-tilting modules (or equivalently, indecom- posable τ-rigid modules). It is easy to see that a representation-finite algebra is τ-tilting arXiv:1910.01937v3 [math.RT] 3 Apr 2021 finite. Also, it is not difficult to find a tame or a wild algebra which is τ-tilting finite. The τ-tilting finiteness for several classes of algebras has been determined, such as algebras with radical square zero [Ada], preprojective algebras of Dynkin type [Mi] and so on. In particular, it has been proven in some cases that τ-tilting finiteness coincides with representation-finiteness, including gentle algebras [P], cycle-finite algebras [MS], tilted and cluster-tilted algebras [Z] and so on. 1.1 Motivations. If one wants to classify the τ-tilting finite cases for a given family of algebras, the general strategy should be to exclude most of the τ-tilting infinite ones and then check τ-tilting finiteness for the remaining ones. Using the representation theory of quivers, we apply this strategy to A ≃ KQ/I in three different approaches as follows. 1 (1) Q has multiple arrows; (2) Q does not have multiple arrows, but has loops or oriented cycles; (3) Q does not have multiple arrows, loops and oriented cycles, but has many vertices. Note that the answer to case (1) is obvious. It is well-known that the Kronecker algebra / K( ◦ / ◦ ) is τ-tilting infinite, so A ≃ KQ/I is τ-tilting infinite for any admissible ideal I if Q has multiple arrows. For case (2), we have considered the two-point idempotent truncations of A as the first step in [Wa]. In particular, the τ-tilting finiteness of A ≃ KQ/I is completely determined if Q is one of / o ◦ / ◦ e and ◦o ◦ e . Now, we consider the triangle and rectangle quivers as the first step of case (3). ◦ ◦ / ◦ / ◦ / ... / ◦ / ◦ ④= ❈❈ ④④ ❈❈ ④④ ❈! ◦ ◦ ◦ / ◦ / ◦ / ... / ◦ / ◦ ④= ❈❈ ④= ❈❈ ④④ ❈❈ ④④ ❈❈ ④④ ❈! ④④ ❈! ◦ ! ◦ ! ◦ . ④= ❈❈ ④= ❈❈ ④= ❈❈ . ④④ ❈❈ ④④ ❈❈ ④④ ❈❈ ④④ ❈! ④④ ❈! ④④ ❈! ◦ ! ◦ ! ◦ ! ◦ ◦ / ◦ / ◦ / ... / ◦ / ◦ . ◦ / ◦ / ◦ / ... / ◦ / ◦ Triangle quiver Rectangle quiver In this case, the algebra A ≃ KQ/I is presented by a triangle or a rectangle quiver Q and an ideal I generated by all possible commutativity relations. Here, a commutativity relation stands for the equality w1 = w2 of two different paths w1 and w2 having the same source and target. This motivates the study of simply connected algebras, which is a rather large class of algebras and contains triangle and rectangle quivers as special cases. 1.2 Main results. Simply connected algebras are first introduced by Bongartz and Gabriel [BG1] in representation-finite cases. The importance of these algebras is that we can reduce the representation theory of an arbitrary representation-finite algebra A to that of a representation-finite simply connected algebra B. More precisely, for any representation-finite algebra A, the indecomposable A-modules can be lifted to indecom- posable B-modules over a simply connected algebra B, which is contained inside a certain Galois covering of the standard form A of A, see [BG2] for details. Soon after, Assem and Skowro´nski [AS] introduced the definition for an arbitrary algebra to be simply connected. In thee case of representation-finite algebras, this new definition coincides with the definition in [BG1]. So we take this new definition in this paper (see Definition 2.1). Then, the class of simply connected algebras becomes rather 2 large. For example, it includes tree algebras, tubular algebras, iterated tilted algebras of Euclidean type Dn(n > 4), E6, E7, E8 and so on. The first main result of this paper is the following. e e e e Theorem 1.1 (Theorem 3.4). Let A be a simply connected algebra. Then, A is τ-tilting finite if and only if it is representation-finite. We recall that an algebra A is called sincere if there exists an indecomposable A- module M such that all simple A-modules appear in M as composition factors. Otherwise, A is called non-sincere. Then, the second main result of this paper is given as follows. Theorem 1.2 (Theorem 3.8). Let {e1, e2,...,en} be a complete set of pairwise orthogonal primitive idempotents of A. If A is non-sincere, A is τ-tilting finite if and only if A/AeiA is τ-tilting finite for any 1 6 i 6 n. Theorem 1.1 enables us to understand all τ-tilting finite sincere simply connected algebras by quiver and relations, see Remark 3.10. Moreover, we point out that there are some inclusions as follows. {Sincere simply connected algebras} ⊇{Staircase algebras}∪{Shifted-staircase algebras} Algebras presented by a triangle or a rectangle ⊇ (quiver with all possible commutativity relations) Then, the third main result of this paper indicates the τ-tilting finiteness of the above subclasses, see Section 4 for details. Lastly, as an example, we compute the number #sτ-tilt A of pairwise non-isomorphic basic support τ-tilting A-modules for a specific τ-tilting finite sincere simply connected algebra A. The motivation is explained in Section 5. This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we review the basic constructions of simply connected algebras as well as the definition of critical algebras and Tits forms. In Section 3, we shall prove the first and second main results. This allows us to determine the τ-tilting finiteness for several classes of algebras, such as iterated tilted algebras, tubular algebras and so on. In Section 4, we completely determine the τ-tilting finiteness for algebras presented by a triangle or a rectangle quiver with all possible commutativity relations. In Section 5, we present an example to look at the number #sτ-tilt A for a specific τ-tilting finite sincere simply connected algebra A. Acknowledgements.

We may regard KQ/I as a K-category (see [BG1]) which the class of objects is the set Q0, and the class of morphisms from i to j is the K-vector space KQ(i, j) of linear combinations of paths in Q with source i and target j, modulo the subspace I(i, j) := I ∩ KQ(i, j). We recall some well-known definitions without further reference. • A is called triangular if Q does not have oriented cycles and loops. • A subcategory B of A is said to be full if for any i, j ∈ QB, every morphism f : i → j in A is also in B; a full subcategory B of A is called convex if any path in QA with source and sink in QB lies entirely in QB. • n A relation ρ = i=1 λiωi ∈ I with λi =6 0 is called minimal if n > 2 and for each non-empty proper subset J ⊂{1, 2,...,n}, we have λ ω ∈/ I. P j∈J j j We introduce the definition of simply connected algebrasP as follows. Here, we follow the constructions in [AS]. Let A = KQ/I be a triangular algebra with a connected quiver − Q =(Q0, Q1,s,t) and an admissible ideal I. For each arrow α ∈ Q1, let α be its formal − − − − inverse with s(α )= t(α) and t(α )= s(α). Then, we set Q1 := {α | α ∈ Q1}. − A walk is a formal composition w = w1w2 ...wn with wi ∈ Q1 ∪ Q1 for all 1 6 i 6 n. We set s(w) = s(w1), t(w) = t(wn) and denote by 1x the trivial path at vertex x.
