Representations of Modular Skew Group Algebras

In this paper we study representations of skew group algebras $\Lambda G$, where $\Lambda$ is a connected, basic, finite-dimensional algebra (or a locally finite graded algebra) over an algebraically closed field $k$ with characteristic $p \geqslant 0$, and $G$ is an arbitrary finite group each element of which acts as an algebra automorphism on $\Lambda$. We characterize skew group algebras with finite global dimension or finite representation type, and classify the representation types of transporter categories for $p \neq 2,3$. When $\Lambda$ is a locally finite graded algebra and the action of $G$ on $\Lambda$ preserves grading, we show that $\Lambda G$ is a generalized Koszul algebra if and only if so is $\Lambda$.Comment: A technical mistake was correcte

A generalized Koszul theory and its application

Let $A$ be a graded algebra. In this paper we develop a generalized Koszul theory by assuming that $A_0$ is self-injective instead of semisimple and generalize many classical results. The application of this generalized theory to directed categories and finite EI categories is described.Comment: The revised version accepted by Tran. AM
