Entropy of monomial algebras and derived categories
Abstract
Let A be a finitely presented associative monomial algebra. We study the category qgr(A) which is a quotient of the category of graded finitely presented A-modules by the finite-dimensional ones. As this category plays a role of the category of coherent sheaves on the corresponding noncommutative variety, we consider its bounded derived category. We calculate the categorical entropy of the Serre twist functor this derived category and show that it is equal to logarithm of the entropy of the algebra A itself. Moreover, we relate these two kinds of entropy with the topological entropy of the Ufnarovski graph of A and the entropy of the path algebra of the graph. If A is a path algebra of some quiver, the categorical entropy is equal to the logarithm of the spectral radius of the quiver's adjacency matrix.

16 pages. In comparison to the version published in IMRN, here a paragraph is added in the beginning of the proof of Theorem 6.5 to fill a gap. In fact, in the previous version the argument was valid for quivers without sinks only
