Abstract

Associated to a symmetrisable Cartan matrix CC, Geiss-Lerclerc-Schr\"{o}er constructed and studied a class of Iwanaga-Gorenstein algebras HH. They proved a generalised version of Gabriel's Theorem, that is, the rank vectors of τ\tau-locally free HH-modules are the positive roots of type CC when CC is of finite type, and conjectured that this is true for any CC. In this paper, we look into this conjecture when CC is of affine type. We construct explicitly stable tubes, some of which have rigid mouth modules, while others not. We deduce that any positive root of type CC is the rank vector of some τ\tau-locally free HH-module. However, the converse is not true in general. Our construction shows that there are τ\tau-locally free HH-modules whose rank vectors are not roots, when CC is of type B~n\widetilde{\mathbb{B}}_n, CD~n\widetilde{\mathbb{CD}}_n, F~41\widetilde{\mathbb{F}}_{41} and G~21\widetilde{\mathbb{G}}_{21}, and so the conjecture fails in these four types.
