Composition factor algebras and finite representation type
Abstract
An Artin algebra is called a composition factor algebra if its indecomposable finitely generated modules are determined, up to isomorphism, by their composition factors. We prove that every composition factor algebra is representation-finite. This settles a conjecture of Auslander, Reiten and Smalø. We also give criteria for comma categories and factorization categories to be of finite representation type.
