We show that an artin algebra having at most three radical layers of infinite projective dimension has finite finitistic dimension, generalizing the known result for algebras with vanishing radical cube.

For monomial special multiserial algebras, which in general are of wild representation type, we construct radical embeddings into algebras of finite representation type. As a consequence, we show that the representation dimension of…

We prove that each semialgebraic subset of $\R^n$ of positive codimension can be locally approximated of any order by means of an algebraic set of the same dimension. As a consequence of previous results, algebraic approximation preserving…

An extension of algebras is a homomorphism of algebras preserving identities. We use extensions of algebras to study the finitistic dimension conjecture over Artin algebras. Let $f: B \to A$ be an extension of Artin algebras. We denote by…

The finitistic dimension conjecture asserts that any finite-dimensional algebra over a field should have finite finitistic dimension. Recently, this conjecture is reduced to studying finitistic dimensions for extensions of algebras. In this…

We present new techniques for removing arrows of bound quiver algebras, reducing thus the Finitistic Dimension Conjecture $\mathsf{(FDC)}$ for a given algebra to a smaller one. Unlike the classic arrow removal operation of…

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra. We obtain that $\Lambda$ is syzygy-finite when the radical layer length of $\Lambda$ is at most two; as two consequences, we give a new upper bound for the dimension of the bounded derived category of the…

We consider a class of extensions of associative algebras, which we refer to as ``strongly proj-bounded extensions''. We prove that the finiteness of the left global dimension and the support of the Hochschild homology is preserved by…

We prove that the finitistic dimension conjecture, the Gorenstein Symmetry Conjecture, the Wakamatsu-tilting conjecture and the generalized Nakayama conjecture hold for artin algebras which can be realized as endomorphism algebras of…

We consider selfinjective Artin algebras whose cohomology groups are finitely generated over a central ring of cohomology operators. For such an algebra, we show that the representation dimension is strictly greater than the maximal…

Let $X$ be a finitely generated left module over a left artinian ring $R$, and let $p(X)=\{l_i\}$ be the infinite sequence of nonnegative integers where $l_i$ is the length of the $i$-th term of the minimal projective resolution of $X$. We…

In this paper, we study the small finitistic dimension of a commutative ring from the viewpoint of finitistic flat homological algebra. Using the class $FPR(R)$ of modules admitting finite projective resolutions, we investigate the…

For any ring we propose the construction of a cover which increases the finitistic dimension on one side and decreases the finitistic dimension to zero on the opposite side. This complements recent work of Cummings.

We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting…

Given a tilting object of the derived category of an abelian category of finite global dimension, we give (under suitable finiteness conditions) a bound for the global dimension of its endomorphism ring.

The existence of a well-behaved dimension of a finite von Neumann algebra (see [19]) has lead to the study of such a dimension of finite Baer *-rings (see [26]) that satisfy certain *-ring axioms (used in [9]). This dimension is closely…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra and $G$ be a finite group whose elements act on $\Lambda$ as algebra automorphisms. Under the assumption that $\Lambda$ has a complete set $E$ of primitive orthogonal idempotents, closed under…

In this paper we study the variety of one dimensional representations of a finite $W$-algebra attached to a classical Lie algebra, giving a precise description of the dimensions of the irreducible components. We apply this to prove a…

We present a proof of an upper bound for the lengths of finite dimensional representations of algebras obeying a modified PBW property, including Lie algebras and quantum groups. The sharpness of the bound is proved and discussed.

We introduce the decomposition rank, a notion of covering dimension for nuclear C^*-algebras. The decomposition rank generalizes ordinary covering dimension and has nice permanence properties; in particular, it behaves well with respect to…
