Non-piecewise hereditary Nakayama algebras (2310.08346v1)

Abstract: Happel and Seidel gave a classification of piecewise hereditary Nakayama algebras, where the relations are given by some power of the radical. Here we explore what happens for general relations. We develop techniques for showing that a given algebra is not piecewise hereditary, illustrating them on numerous mid-sized examples. Then we observe cases where the property of being non-piecewise hereditary can be extended to other (larger) Nakayama algebras. While a complete classification remains elusive, we are able to identify two types of patterns of relations preventing piecewise heredity, indicating that for large quivers many Nakayama algebras are non-piecewise hereditary.
