Abstract

A (semi)brick over an algebra AA is a module SS such that the endomorphism ring EndA(S)\operatorname{\mathsf{End}}_A(S) is a (product of) division algebra. For each Dynkin diagram Δ\Delta, there is a bijection from the Coxeter group WW of type Δ\Delta to the set of semibricks over the preprojective algebra Π\Pi of type Δ\Delta, which is restricted to a bijection from the set of join-irreducible elements of WW to the set of bricks over Π\Pi. This paper is devoted to giving an explicit description of these bijections in the case Δ=An\Delta=\mathbb{A}_n or Dn\mathbb{D}_n. First, for each join-irreducible element wWw \in W, we describe the corresponding brick S(w)S(w) in terms of "Young diagram-like" notation. Next, we determine the canonical join representation w=i=1mwiw=\bigvee_{i=1}^m w_i of an arbitrary element wWw \in W based on Reading's work, and prove that i=1nS(wi)\bigoplus_{i=1}^n S(w_i) is the semibrick corresponding to ww.
