Abstract:

We investigate the category \rm mod\Lambda of finite length modules over the ring \Lambda=A\otimes_{k}\Sigma, where \Sigma is a V-ring, i.e. a ring for which every simple module is injective, k a subfield of its centre and A an elementary k-algebra. Each simple module E_j gives rise to a quasiprogenerator P_j=A\otimes E_{j}. By a result of K. Fuller, P_j induces a category equivalence from which we deduce that {\rm mod}\Lambda \simeq {\coprod}_j\ {\rm mod \ End}P_j. As a consequence we can

(1) construct for each elementary k-algebra A over a finite field k a nonartinian noetherian ring \Lambda such that {\rm mod}A \simeq {\rm mod}\Lambda,

(2) find twisted versions \Lambda of algebras of wild representation type such that \Lambda itself is of finite or tame representation type (in mod),

(3) describe for certain rings \Lambda the minimal almost split morphisms in \rm mod\Lambda and observe that almost all of these maps are not almost split in \rm Mod\Lambda.
