Monic representations and Gorenstein-projective modules
/ Authors
/ Abstract
Let $\Lambda$ be the path algebra of a finite quiver $Q$ over a finite-dimensional algebra $A$. Then $\Lambda$-modules are identified with representations of $Q$ over $A$. This yields the notion of monic representations of $Q$ over $A$. If $Q$ is acyclic, then the Gorenstein-projective $\m$-modules can be explicitly determined via the monic representations. As an application, $A$ is self-injective if and only if the Gorenstein-projective $\m$-modules are exactly the monic representations of $Q$ over $A$.
