The E-finiteness conjecture for finite-dimensional algebras

Let AA be a finite-dimensional algebra. Call AA EE-finite if, for every τ\tau-regular irreducible component ZIrr(A)\mathcal{Z}\in\operatorname{Irr}(A), one has c(Z)=0c(\mathcal{Z})=0. Call AA brick-finite if it has only finitely many isomorphism classes of bricks.

E-finiteness conjecture. If AA is EE-finite, then AA is brick-finite.

The conjecture reformulates a question of Demonet about the existence of rational rays outside the τ\tau-tilting fan for brick-infinite algebras. It is stated as open and is described as widely believed.
