Monoid gradings on algebras and the cartan determinant conjecture*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2009
Abstract
In this work we tackle the Cartan determinant conjecture for finite-dimensional algebras through monoid gradings. Given an adequate ∑-grading on the left Artinian ring A, where ∑ is a monoid, we construct a generalized Cartan matrix with entries in ℤ∑, which is right invertitale whenever gl.dim A < ∞. That gives a positive answer to the conjecture when A admits a strongly adequate grading by an aperiodic commutative monoid. We then show that, even though this does not give a definite answer to the conjecture, it strictly widens the class of known graded algebras for which it is true.
