About sums of compositions of irreducible morphisms

Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Argentina   -   nllodra@gmail.com

We consider $A$ an artin algebra, and $\mbox{mod}\,A$ the category of finitely generated right $A$-modules.

In this talk, we present some results about sums of compositions of irreducible morphisms between indecomposable $A$-modules in relation with the powers of the radical of its module category.

The notion of degree of an irreducible morphism, introduced by S. Liu [L], played a fundamental role to obtain such results.

In particular, we give a characterization of when the sums of compositions of irreducible morphisms of length exactly $n$, for $n=2,3,4$ and $5$ belong to $\Re^{n+1}$.
