Auslander's Theorem for dihedral actions on preprojective algebras of type A (2108.08939v2)

Abstract: Given an algebra $R$ and $G$ a finite group of automorphisms of $R$, there is a natural map $\eta_{R,G}:R#G \to \mathrm{End}{R^G} R$, called the Auslander map. A theorem of Auslander shows that $\eta{R,G}$ is an isomorphism when $R=\mathbb{C}[V]$ and $G$ is a finite group acting linearly and without reflections on the finite-dimensional vector space $V$. The work of Mori and Bao-He-Zhang has encouraged study of this theorem in the context of Artin-Schelter regular algebras. We initiate a study of Auslander's result in the setting of non-connected graded Calabi-Yau algebras. When $R$ is a preprojective algebra of type $A$ and $G$ is a finite subgroup of $D_n$ acting on $R$ by automorphism, our main result shows that $\eta_{R,G}$ is an isomorphism if and only if $G$ does not contain all of the reflections through a vertex.
