USDThis volume provides a systematic presentation of the theory of differential tensor algebras and their categories of modules. It involves reduction techniques which have proved to be very useful in the development of representation theory of finite dimensional algebras. The main results obtained with these methods are presented in an elementary and self contained way. The authors provide a fresh point of view of well known facts on tame and wild differential tensor algebras, on tame and wild algebras, and on their modules. But there are also some new results and some new proofs. Their approach presents a formal alternative to the use of bocses (bimodules over categories with coalgebra structure) with underlying additive categories and pull-back reduction constructions. Professional mathematicians working in representation theory and related fields, and graduate students interested in homological algebra will find much of interest in this book.
- Includes central results not covered in existing books
- Suitable for professional mathematicians and graduate students with only a basic knowledge of module theory
- Contains over 90 exercises for the reader to test their understanding
Reviews & endorsements
"The authors provide all minute details of every proof. The work is a remarkable example of what the reviewer would call "open source" mathematics. The reviewer feels that the publication of this important book will serve as a catalyst for further study of bocses and related structures."
