The Second brick-Brauer-Thrall conjecture for finite-dimensional algebras
The Second brick-Brauer-Thrall conjecture for finite-dimensional algebras
Let be a finite-dimensional algebra, and let denote the Auslander–Reiten translation. Call brick-infinite when it has infinitely many pairwise non-isomorphic bricks, and write -tilting infinite for the equivalent condition. For a dimension vector , let be the corresponding representation variety, with its group action whose orbits are isomorphism classes.
Second brick-Brauer-Thrall conjecture. If is brick-infinite (equivalently, -tilting infinite), there is a dimension vector such that contains infinitely many orbits of bricks.
This is a conceptual brick analogue of the Second Brauer–Thrall theorem. The statement is presented as an open problem; equivalent formulations in terms of Hom-orthogonal modules and brick-discrete algebras are discussed in the paper.
