Blocks of Tame Representation Type and Related Algebras

This monograph studies algebras that are associated to blocks of tame representation type. Over the past few years, a range of new results have been obtained and a comprehensive account of these is provided here to- gether with some new proofs of known results. Some general theory of algebras is also presented, as a means of understanding the subject. The book is addressed to researchers and graduate students interested in the links between representations of finite-dimensional algebras and modular group representation theory. The basic properties of modules and finite-dimensional algebras are assumed known.Erdmann, K. is the author of 'Blocks of Tame Representation Type and Related Algebras', published 2008 under ISBN 9783540527091 and ISBN 3540527095.
