Algebras determined by $τ$-slices
Viviana Gubitosi, Hipolito Treffinger
TL;DR
The paper studies algebras determined by $\tau$-slices, a framework that extends strict laura algebras via $\tau$-tilting theory. It proves that every strict laura algebra is determined by $\tau$-slices and provides a non-strict $\tau$-slice algebra, including a wild example where all indecomposables lie in a cycle. Under mild containment conditions on $Gen T_i$ and $Cogen S_j$ relative to the left/right parts, the representation dimension satisfies $rep.dim. A \leq 3$, implying the finitistic dimension is finite. The construction uses an explicit Auslander generator $L = A ⊕ DA ⊕ (⊕_{i=1}^s T_i) ⊕ (⊕_{j=1}^t S_j) ⊕ (⊕_{Y ∈ 𝒴_A} Y)$, connecting the theory to tilted algebras via $\tau$-slices.
Abstract
In this paper we revisit the notion of strict laura algebras through the lens of $τ$-tilting theory to define the family of algebras determined by $τ$-slices. We show that the representation dimension of every algebra determined by $τ$-slices satisfying mild conditions is at most three.
