The Auslander-Reiten quivers of string algebras of affine type $\widetilde{C}$ and a conjecture by Geiss-Leclerc-Schröer

Abstract: In this paper, we study representations of certain string algebras, which are referred to as of affine type $\widetilde{C}$. We introduce minimal string modules and apply them to explicitly describe components of the Auslander-Reiten quivers of the string algebras and $\tau$-locally free modules defined by Geiss-Lerclerc-Schr\"{o}er. As an application, we prove Geiss-Leclerc-Schr\"{o}er's conjecture on the correspondence between positive roots of type $\widetilde{C}$ and $\tau$-locally free modules of the corresponding string algebras.
