Representation Type of EI-Categories

Representation Theory 2011-04-14 v1

Abstract

EI-categories are a simultaneous generalisation of finite groups and finite quivers without oriented cycles. It is therefore a natural question to ask for a characterisation of finite representation type. For special classes of EI-categories a complete characterisation is obtained using quiver techniques. For EI-categories with two objects we present a necessary criterion for finite representation type. The complexity of this classification problem is illustrated by some examples.
