Abstract

ABSTRACT. Let Φ\Phi be a finite dimensional KK-algebra and let C=modΦ\mathscr{C} = \textrm{mod}\: \Phi be the abelian category of finitely generated right Φ\Phi-modules. In their 1985 paper ``Modules determined by their composition factors'', Auslander and Reiten showed that under certain conditions modules in modΦ\textrm{mod}\: \Phi are determined by their composition factors, and show an important formula related to the Auslander-Reiten translation. Let T\mathscr{T} be a dd-cluster tilting subcategory of C\mathscr{C}, which by definition is also dd-abelian. In this paper we will define the Grothendieck group for a dd-abelian category, and show that the Grothendieck groups of C\mathscr{C} and T\mathscr{T} are isomorphic. We show also that under certain conditions, the indecomposable objects of T\mathscr{T} are determined up to isomorphism by their composition factors in C\mathscr{C}. Finally, we generalise the formula from Auslander and Reiten involving the higher dimensional Auslander-Reiten translation.
