The Simple Connectedness of Tame Algebras with Separating Almost Cyclic Coherent Auslander–Reiten Components

Abstract

AbstractWe study the simple connectedness of the class of finite-dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field for which the Auslander–Reiten quiver admits a separating family of almost cyclic coherent components. We show that a tame algebra in this class is simply connected if and only if its first Hochschild cohomology space vanishes.
