Strict polynomial functors and coherent functors

We build an explicit link between coherent functors in the sense of Auslander and strict polynomial functors in the sense of Friedlander and Suslin. Applications to functor cohomology are discussed.Comment: published version, 24 pages. Section 2.7 reorganized, and notational distinction between left and right tensor product reinstalle

Recollements of Module Categories

We establish a correspondence between recollements of abelian categories up to equivalence and certain TTF-triples. For a module category we show, moreover, a correspondence with idempotent ideals, recovering a theorem of Jans. Furthermore, we show that a recollement whose terms are module categories is equivalent to one induced by an idempotent element, thus answering a question by Kuhn.Comment: Comments are welcom

On quiver Grassmannians and orbit closures for representation-finite algebras

We show that Auslander algebras have a unique tilting and cotilting module which is generated and cogenerated by a projective-injective; its endomorphism ring is called the projective quotient algebra. For any representation- nite algebra, we use the projective quotient algebra to construct desingularizations of quiver Grassmannians, orbit closures in representation varieties, and their desingularizations. This generalizes results of Cerulli Irelli, Feigin and Reineke
