New Examples of Dimension Zero Categories

Abstract

We say that a category D\mathscr{D} is dimension zero over a field FF provided that every finitely generated representation of D\mathscr{D} over FF is finite length. We show that Rel(R)\textrm{Rel}(R), a category that arises naturally from a finite idempotent semiring RR, is dimension zero over any infinite field. One special case of this result is that Rel\textrm{Rel}, the category of finite sets with relations, is dimension zero over any infinite field.
