Mousavand–Paquette conjecture on finite-dimensional bricks and generic bricks

Let AA be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. A brick is an AA-module whose endomorphism ring is a division ring, and a generic module is an indecomposable AA-module of infinite length having finite length over its endomorphism ring. Mousavand–Paquette conjecture. The following statements are equivalent:

  1. There are infinitely many non-isomorphic finite dimensional bricks.
  2. There are infinitely many non-isomorphic finite dimensional bricks of the same dimension.
  3. There exists a generic brick.

The equivalence of (2) and (3) is known for tame algebras, while the full equivalence is proved in the paper under the assumption that the Krull–Gabriel dimension of AA is defined; the conjecture remains open in general.
