Derived equivalence classification
of generalized multifold extensions
of piecewise hereditary algebras
of tree type
Hideto Asashiba, Mayumi Kimura
Communicated by D. Simson
Abstract. We give a derived equivalence classification of
algebras of the form Â/〈φ〉 for some piecewise hereditary algebra A
of tree type and some automorphism φ of  such that φ(A[0]) = A[n]
for some positive integer n.
Introduction
Throughout this paper we fix an algebraically closed field k, and
assume that all algebras are basic and finite-dimensional k-algebras and
that all categories are k-categories.
The classification of algebras under derived equivalences seems to be
first explicitly investigated by Rickard in [9], which gave the derived equiva-
lence classification of Brauer tree algebras (implicitly there exists an earlier
work [4] by Assem–Happel giving the classification of gentle tree algebras).
After that the first named author gave the classification of representation-
finite self-injective algebras (see also [1] and Membrillo-Hernández [7] for
type An). The technique used there (a covering technique for derived
equivalences developed in [1]) is applicable also for representation-infinite

categories.
146 Derived equivalence classification
algebras; it requires that the algebras in consideration have the form of
orbit categories (usually of repetitive categories of some algebras hav-
ing no oriented cycles in their ordinary quivers). In fact, it was applied
in [3] to give the classification of twisted multifold extensions of piecewise
hereditary algebras of tree type by giving a complete invariant. Here an
algebra is called a twisted multifold extension of an algebra A if it has the
form
Tnψ (A) := Â/〈ψ̂νnA〉 (0.1)
for some positive integer n and some automorphism ψ of A, where  is the
repetitive algebra of A, νA is the Nakayama automorphism of  and ψ̂ is
the automorphism of  naturally induced from ψ (see Definition 1.1 and
Lemma 1.2 for details); and an algebra A is called a piecewise hereditary
algebra of tree type if A is an algebra derived equivalent to a hereditary
algebra whose ordinary quiver is an oriented tree. In this paper we extend
this classification to a wider class of algebras. To state this class of algebras
we introduce the following terminologies. For an integer n we say that an
automorphism φ of  has a jump n if φ(A[0]) = A[n]. An algebra of the
form
Â/〈φ〉
for some automorphism φ of  with jump n for some positive integer
n is called a generalized multifold extension of A. Since obviously ψ̂νnA
is an automorphism of  with jump n in the formula (0.1), twisted
multifold extensions are generalized multifold extensions. We are now able
to state our purpose. In this paper we will give the derived equivalence
classification of generalized multifold extensions of piecewise hereditary
algebras of tree type by giving a complete invariant. Note that most
algebras in this class are wild and that the tame part of the class has a
big intersection with the class of self-injective algebras of Euclidean type
studied by Skowroński in [10] (see Remark 1.7).
The paper is organized as follows. After preparations in section 1
we first reduce the problem to the case of hereditary tree algebras in
section 2. Then we investigate scalar multiples in the repetitive category
of a hereditary tree algebras in section 3, which is a central part of the
proof of the main result. In section 4 we show that any generalized
multifold extension of a piecewise hereditary algebra of tree type is
derived equivalent to a twisted multifold extension of the same type,
which immediately yields the desired classification result.

1. Preliminaries
For a category R we denote by R0 and R1 the class of objects and
morphisms of R, respectively. A category R is said to be locally bounded
if it satisfies the following:
• Distinct objects of R are not isomorphic;
• R(x, x) is a local algebra for all x ∈ R0;
• R(x, y) is finite-dimensional for all x, y ∈ R0; and
• The set {y ∈ R0 | R(x, y) 6= 0 or R(y, x) 6= 0} is finite for all
x ∈ R0.
A category is called finite if it has only a finite number of objects.
A pair (A,E) of an algebra A and a complete set E := {e1, . . . , en}
of orthogonal primitive idempotents of A can be identified with a lo-
cally bounded and finite category R by the following correspondences.
Such a pair (A,E) defines a category R(A,E) := R as follows: R0 := E,
R(x, y) := yAx for all x, y ∈ E, and the composition of R is defined by
the multiplication of A. Then the category R is locally bounded and
finite. Conversely, a locally bounded and finite category R defines such a
pair (AR, ER) as follows: AR :=
⊕
x,y∈R0
R(x, y) with the usual matrix
multiplication (regard each element of A as a matrix indexed by R0), and
ER := {(1xδ(i,j),(x,x))i,j∈R0 | x ∈ R0}. We always regard an algebra A
as a locally bounded and finite category by fixing a complete set A0 of
orthogonal primitive idempotents of A.
For a locally bounded category A, we denote by ModA the category
of all (right) A-modules (= contravariant functors from A to the category
Modk of k-vector spaces); by modA the full subcategory of ModA
consisting of finitely presented objects; and by prjA the full subcategory
of ModA consisting of finitely generated projective objects. Kb(A) denotes
the bounded homotopy category of an additive category A.
1.1. Repetitive categories
Definition 1.1. Let A be a locally bounded category.
(1) The repetitive category  of A is a k-category defined as follows
(Â turns out to be locally bounded again):
• Â0 := A0 × Z = {x[i] := (x, i) | x ∈ A0, i ∈ Z}.
148 Derived equivalence classification
• Â(x[i], y[j]) :=
{f [i] | f ∈ A(x, y)} if j = i,
{φ[i] | φ ∈ DA(y, x)} if j = i+ 1,
0 otherwise,
for all x[i], y[j] ∈ Â0.
• For each x[i], y[j], z[k] ∈Â0 the composition Â(y[j], z[k])×Â(x[i], y[j])→
Â(x[i], z[k]) is given as follows.
(i) If i = j, j = k, then this is the composition of A A(y, z) ×
A(x, y) → A(x, z).
(ii) If i = j, j + 1 = k, then this is given by the right A-module
structure of DA: DA(z, y) ×A(x, y) → DA(z, x).
(iii) If i + 1 = j, j = k, then this is given by the left A-module
structure of DA: A(y, z) ×DA(y, x) → DA(z, x).
(iv) Otherwise, the composition is zero.
(2) We define an automorphism νA of Â, called the Nakayama auto-
morphism of Â, by νA(x[i]) := x[i+1], νA(f [i]) := f [i+1], νA(φ[i]) := φ[i+1]
for all i ∈ Z, x ∈ A0, f ∈ A1, φ ∈
⋃
x,y∈A0
DA(y, x).
(3) For each n ∈ Z, we denote by A[n] the full subcategory of  formed
by x[n] with x ∈ A, and by 1
[n] : A
∼
→ A[n] →֒ Â, x 7→ x[n], the embedding
functor.
We cite the following from [3, Lemma 2.3].
Lemma 1.2. Let ψ : A → B be an isomorphism of locally bounded
categories. Denote by ψyx : A(y, x) → B(ψy, ψx) the isomorphism defined
by ψ for all x, y ∈ A. Define ψ̂ : Â → B̂ as follows.
• For each x[i] ∈ Â, ψ̂(x[i]) := (ψx)[i];
• For each f [i] ∈ Â(x[i], y[i]), ψ̂(f [i]) := (ψf)[i]; and
• For each φ[i] ∈ Â(x[i], y[i+1]), ψ̂(φ[i]) := (D((ψyx)−1)(φ))[i] = (φ ◦
(ψyx)−1)[i].
Then
(1) ψ̂ is an isomorphism.
(2) Given an isomorphism ρ : Â → B̂, the following are equivalent.
(a) ρ = ψ̂;
(b) ρ satisfies the following.
H. Asashiba, M. Kimura 149
(i) ρνA = νBρ;
(ii) ρ(A[0]) = A[0];
(iii) The diagram

is commutative; and
(iv) ρ(φ[0]) = (φ ◦ (ψyx)−1)[0] for all x, y ∈ A and all φ ∈
DA(y, x).
Let R be a locally bounded category with the Jacobson radical J and
with the ordinary quiver Q. Then by definition of Q there is a bijection
f : Q0 → R0, x 7→ fx and injections āy,x : Q1(x, y) → J(fx, fy)/J
2(fx, fy)
such that āy,x(Q1(x, y)) forms a basis of J(fx, fy)/J
2(fx, fy), where
Q1(x, y) is the set of arrows from x to y in Q for all x, y ∈ Q0. For each
α ∈ Q1(x, y) choose ay,x(α) ∈ J(fx, fy) such that ay,x(α) + J2(fx, fy) =
āy,x(α). Then the pair (f, a) of the bijection f and the family a of injec-
tions ay,x : Q1(x, y) → J(fx, fy) (x, y ∈ Q0) uniquely extends to a full
functor Φ: kQ → R, which is called a display functor for R.
A path µ from y to x in a quiver with relations (Q, I) is called maximal
if µ 6∈ I but αµ, µβ ∈ I for all arrows α, β ∈ Q1. For a k-vector space V
with a basis {v1, . . . , vn} we denote by {v∗
1, . . . , v
∗
n} the basis of DV dual
to the basis {v1, . . . , vn}. In particular if dimk V = 1, v∗ ∈ DV is defined
for all v ∈ V \{0}.
An algebra is called a tree algebra if its ordinary quiver is an oriented
tree.
Lemma 1.3. Let A be a tree algebra and Φ : kQ → A a display functor
with I := Ker Φ. Then
(1) Φ uniquely induces the display functor Φ̂ : kQ̂ → Â for Â, where
(i) Q̂ = (Q̂0, Q̂1, ŝ, t̂) is defined as follows:
• Q̂0 := Q0 × Z = {x[i] := (x, i) | x ∈ Q0, i ∈ Z},
• Q1 × Z := {α[i] := (α, i) | α ∈ Q1, i ∈ Z},
Q̂1 :=(Q1×Z)⊔{µ∗[i] |µ is a maximal path in (Q, I), i∈Z},
• ŝ(α[i]) := s(α)[i], t̂(α[i]) := t(α)[i] for all α[i] ∈ Q1 × Z,
and if µ is a maximal path from y to x in (Q, I) then,
ŝ(µ∗[i]) := x[i], t̂(µ∗[i]) := y[i+1].
150 Derived equivalence classification
(ii) Φ̂ is defined by Φ̂(x[i]) := (Φx)[i], Φ̂(α[i]) := (Φα)[i], and
Φ̂(µ∗[i]) := (Φ(µ)∗)[i] for all i ∈ Z, x ∈ Q0, α ∈ Q1 and
maximal paths µ in (Q, I).
(2) We define an automorphism νQ of Q̂ by νQ(x[i]) := x[i+1], νQ(α[i]) :=
α[i+1], νQ(µ∗[i]) := µ∗[i+1] for all i ∈ Z, x ∈ Q0, α ∈ Q1, and maxi-
mal paths µ in (Q, I).
(3) Ker Φ̂ is equal to the ideal Î defined by the full commutativity rela-
tions on Q̂ and the zero relations µ = 0 for those paths µ of Q̂ for
which there is no path t̂(µ) νQ(ŝ(µ)). (Therefore note that if a
path αn · · ·α1 is in I, then α
[i]
n · · ·α
[i]
1 is in Î for all i ∈ Z.)
Let R be a locally bounded category. A morphism f : x → y in R1 is
called a maximal nonzero morphism if f 6= 0 and fg = 0, hf = 0 for all
g ∈ radR(z, x), h ∈ radR(y, z), z ∈ R0.
Lemma 1.4. Let A be an algebra and x[i], y[j] ∈ Â0. Then there exists a
maximal nonzero morphism in Â(x[i], y[j]) if and only if y[j] = νA(x[i]).
Proof. This follows from the fact that Â(-, x[i+1]) ∼= DÂ(x[i], -) for all
i ∈ Z, x ∈ A0.
Lemma 1.5. Let A be an algebra. Then the actions of φνA and νAφ
coincide on the objects of  for all φ ∈ Aut(Â).
Proof. Let x[i] ∈ Â0. Then there is a maximal nonzero morphism in
Â(x[i], νA(x[i])) by Lemma 1.4. Since φ is an automorphism of Â, there is a
maximal nonzero morphism in Â(φ(x[i]), φ(νA(x[i]))). Hence φ(νA(x[i])) =
νA(φ(x[i])) by the same lemma.
The following is immediate by the lemma above.
Proposition 1.6. Let A be an algebra, n an integer, and φ an automor-
phism of Â. Then the following are equivalent:
(1) φ is an automorphism with jump n;
(2) φ(Ai) = A[i+n] for some integer i;
(3) φ(Aj) = A[j+n] for all integers j; and
(4) φ = σνnA for some automorphism σ of  with jump 0.
Remark 1.7. Let A be an algebra.
H. Asashiba, M. Kimura 151
(1) In Skowroński [10, 11] an automorphism φ of  is called rigid if
φ(A[j]) = A[j] for all j ∈ Z. Hence φ is rigid if and only if it is an
automorphism with jump 0 by the proposition above. Therefore
for an integer n, φ is an automorphism with jump n if and only if
φ = σνnA for some rigid automorphism σ of Â.
(2) Noting this fact we see by [11, Theorem 4.7] that the class of self-
injective algebras of Euclidean type contains a lot of generalized
multifold extensions of piecewise hereditary algebras of tree type.
In the sequel, we always assume that n is a positive integer when we
consider a morphism with jump n.
1.2. Derived equivalences and tilting subcategories
Let R be a locally bounded category and φ ∈ Aut(R). Then φ induces
an equivalence φ(-) : modR → modR defined by φM := M ◦ φ−1 : R →
modk for all M ∈ modR. In particular for R(-, x) with x ∈ R, we have
φ(R(-, x)) = R(φ−1(-), x) ∼= R(-, φx), and the last isomorphism is given by
φ itself. Thus the identification φ(R(-, x)) = R(-, φx) depends on φ, and
the subset {R(-, x) | x ∈ R} of prjR is not 〈φ(-)〉-stable in a strict sense.
This makes it difficult to give explicitly a complete set of representatives
of isoclasses of indecomposable objects of Kb(prjR) which is 〈Kb(φ(-))〉-
stable. To avoid this difficulty we used in [2] the formal additive hull
addR ([5, 2.1 Example 8]) of R defined below instead of prjR.
Definition 1.8. Let R be a locally bounded category. The formal additive
hull addR of R is a category defined as follows.
• (addR)0 := {
⊕n
i=1 xi := (x1, . . . , xn) | n ∈ N, x1, . . . , xn ∈ R0};
• For each x =
⊕m
i=1 xi, y =
⊕m
j=1 yi ∈ (addR)0,
(addR)(x, y) := {(µj,i)j,i | µj,i ∈ R(xi, yj)
for all i = 1, . . . ,m, j = 1, . . . , n}; and
• The composition is given by the matrix multiplication.
We regard that R is contained in addR by the embedding (f : x → y) 7→
((f) : (x) → (y)) for all f in R.
Remark 1.9. Let R and φ be as above.
152 Derived equivalence classification
(1) Define a functor ηR : addR → prjR by (x1, . . . , xn) 7→ R(-, x1) ⊕
· · ·⊕R(-, xn) and (µji)j,i 7→ (R(-, µji))j,i. Then ηR is an equivalence,
called the Yoneda equivalence.
(2) Let F : R → S be a functor of locally bounded categories. Then
F naturally induces functors addF : addR → addS and F̃ :=
Kb(addF ) : Kb(addR) → Kb(addS), which are isomorphisms if
F is an isomorphism. Namely, addF is defined by (x1, . . . , xn) 7→
(Fx1, . . . , Fxn) and (µji) 7→ (Fµji) for all objects (x1, . . . , xn) and
all morphisms (µji) in addR; and F̃ is defined by addF component-
wise. Further if G : S → T is a functor of locally bounded categories,
then we have (GF )̃ = G̃F̃ .
(3) The automorphism φ acts on Kb(addR) as φ̃, and φKb(ηR)(X �) ∼=
Kb(ηR)(φ̃(X �)) for all X � ∈ Kb(addR).
We cite the following from [2, Proposition 5.1] which follows from
Keller [6] (Cf. Rickard [8], [1, Proposition 1.1]).
Proposition 1.10. Let R and S be locally bounded categories. Then the
following are equivalent:
(1) There is a triangle equivalence D(ModS) → D(ModR); and
(2) There is a full subcategory E of Kb(addR) such that
(a) Kb(addR)(T,U [n]) = 0 for all T,U ∈ E and all n 6= 0;
(b) R is contained in the smallest full triangulated subcategory of
Kb(addR) containing E that is closed under direct summands
and isomorphisms; and
(c) E is isomorphic to S.
Definition 1.11. We say that locally bounded categories R and S are
derived equivalent if one of the equivalent conditions above holds. In (2)
the triple (R,E, S) is called a tilting triple and E ⊆ Kb(addR) is called
a tilting subcategory for R.
Theorem 1.5 in [1] is interpreted as follows.
Theorem 1.12. If (A,E,B) is a tilting triple of locally bounded categories
with an isomorphism ψ : E → B, then (Â, Ê, B̂) is also a tilting triple
with the isomorphism ψ̂ : Ê → B̂, where Ê is isomorphic to (and identified
with) the full subcategory of Kb(add Â) consisting of the (1[n])̃ (T ) with
T ∈ E, n ∈ Z.
H. Asashiba, M. Kimura 153
For a group G acting on a category S we say that a subclass E of the
objects of S is G-stable (resp. G-stable up to isomorphisms) if gx ∈ E
(resp. if gx is isomorphic to some object in E) for all g ∈ G and x ∈ E.
Proposition 1.13. Let (A,E,B) be a tilting triple of locally bounded
categories with an isomorphism ψ : E → B, g an automorphism of  and
h an automorphism of B̂. Then Â/〈g〉 is derived equivalent to B̂/〈h〉 if
(1) g is of infinite order and 〈g〉 acts freely on Â;
(2) Ê is 〈g̃〉-stable; and
(3) The following diagram commutes:
Ê
ψ̂
−−−−→ B̂
g̃
y
yh
Ê −−−−→

Remark 1.14. Let E be a tilting subcategory for a locally bounded
categoryR andG a group acting on R. IfE is G-stable up to isomorphisms,
then there exists a tilting subcategory E′ for R such that E ∼= E′ and E′
is G-stable (see [1, Remark 3.2] and [2, Lemma 5.3.3 and Remark 5.3(2)]).
2. Reduction to hereditary tree algebras
Let Q be a quiver. We denote by Q̄ the underlying graph of Q, and
call Q finite if both Q0 and Q1 are finite sets. Each automorphism of
Q is regarded as an automorphism of Q̄ preserving the orientation of
Q, thus Aut(Q) can be regarded as a subgroup of Aut(Q̄). Suppose now
that Q is a finite oriented tree. Then it is also known that Aut(Q) 6
Aut0(Q̄) := {f ∈ Aut(Q̄) | f(x) = x for some x ∈ Q0}. We say that Q is
an admissibly oriented tree if Aut(Q) = Aut0(Q̄). We quote the following
from [3, Lemma 4.1]:
Lemma 2.1. For any finite tree T there exists an admissibly oriented
tree Q with a unique source such that Q̄ = T .
We cite the following from [3, Lemma 5.4].
Lemma 2.2. Let A be a piecewise hereditary algebra of type Q for an
admissibly oriented tree Q. Then there is a tilting triple (A,E, kQ) such
that E is 〈φ̃〉-stable up to isomorphisms for all φ ∈ Aut(A).
154 Derived equivalence classification
By the following proposition we can reduce the derived equivalence
classification of generalized multifold extensions of piecewise hereditary
algebras of tree type to the corresponding problem of generalized multifold
extensions of hereditary tree algebras. The second statement also enables
us to compare the generalized multifold extension and a twisted version
corresponding to it using the repetitive category of the common hereditary
algebra.
Proposition 2.3. Let A be a piecewise hereditary algebra of tree type Q̄
for an admissibly oriented tree Q, and n a positive integer. Then we have
the following:
(1) For any φ ∈ Aut(Â) with jump n, there exists some ψ ∈ Aut(k̂Q)
with jump n such that Â/〈φ〉 is derived equivalent to k̂Q/〈ψ〉; and
(2) If we set φ′ := νnAφ̂0 ∈ Aut(Â), where φ0 := (1[0])−1ν−n
A φ1[0], then
there exists some ψ′ ∈ Aut(k̂Q) with jump n such that Â/〈φ′〉 is
derived equivalent to k̂Q/〈ψ′〉, and that the actions of ψ and ψ′
coincide on the objects of k̂Q.
Proof. (1) We set ν := νA and φi := (1[i])−1ν−n
A φ1[i] ∈ Aut(A) for all
i ∈ Z. By Lemma 2.2, there exists a tilting triple (A,E,kQ) with an
isomorphism ζ : E → kQ such that E is 〈η̃〉-stable up to isomorphisms
for all η ∈ Aut(A). In particular, E is 〈φ̃i〉-stable up to isomorphisms for
all i ∈ Z. Then (Â, Ê, k̂Q) is a tilting triple with the isomorphism ζ̂ by
Theorem 1.12 and the following holds.
Claim 1. Ê is 〈φ̃〉-stable up to isomorphisms.
Indeed, for each T ∈ E0 and i ∈ Z, we have
φ̃(1[i])̃ (T ) = (νnν−nφ1[i])̃ (T )
= (νn1[i]φi)̃ (T )
= (1[i+n])̃ φ̃i(T ).
(2.1)
Since E is 〈φ̃i〉-stable up to isomorphisms, we have φ̃i(T ) ∼= T ′ for some
T ′ ∈ E, and hence φ̃((1[i])̃ (T )) ∼= (1[i+n])̃ (T ′) ∈ Ê, as desired.
By Remark 1.14, we have a 〈φ̃〉-stable tilting subcategory Ê′ and an
isomorphism θ : Ê′
∼
→ Ê. Therefore by Proposition 1.13 Â/〈φ〉 and Ê′/〈φ̃〉
are derived equivalent. If we set ψ := (ζ̂θ)φ̃(ζ̂θ)−1, then (2.1) shows that
ψ is an automorphism with jump n, and that Ê′/〈φ̃〉 ∼= k̂Q/〈ψ〉. Hence
Â/〈φ〉 and k̂Q/〈ψ〉 are derived equivalent.
H. Asashiba, M. Kimura 155
(2) Note that φ′ is also an automorphism with jump n. By the same
argument we see that Ê is also 〈φ̃′〉-stable up to isomorphisms; there exists
a 〈φ̃′〉-stable tilting subcategory Ê′′ and an isomorphism θ′ : Ê′′
∼
→ Ê; and
Â/〈φ′〉 and Ê′′/〈φ̃′〉 are derived equivalent. Set ψ′ := (ζ̂θ′)φ̃′(ζ̂θ′)−1, then
ψ′ is an automorphism with jump n, Ê′′/〈φ̃′〉 ∼= k̂Q/〈ψ′〉, and Â/〈φ′〉
and k̂Q/〈ψ′〉 are derived equivalent. Now for i = 0 the equality (2.1)
shows that φ̃(1[0])̃ (T ) = (1[n])̃ φ̃0(T ) for all T ∈ E0. Since φ′
0 = φ0,
the same calculation shows that φ̃′(1[0])̃ (T ) = (1[n])̃ φ̃0(T ) for all
T ∈ E0. Thus the actions of φ̃ and φ̃′ coincide on the objects of E[0],
which shows that the actions of ψ and ψ′ coincide on the objects of kQ[0].
Hence by Lemma 1.5 their actions coincide on the objects of k̂Q. Indeed,
ψ(x[i]) = ψνi(x[0]) = νiψ(x[0]) = νiψ′(x[0]) = ψ′νi(x[0]) = ψ′(x[i]) for all
x ∈ Q0 and i ∈ Z.
3. Hereditary tree algebras
Remark 3.1. Let Q be an oriented tree.
(1) We may identify k̂Q = kQ̂/Î as stated in Lemma 1.3, and we denote
by µ the morphism µ+ Î in k̂Q for each morphism µ in kQ̂.
(2) Let x, y ∈ Q̂0. Since Î contains full commutativity relations, we
have dimk k̂Q(x, y)6 1, and in particular Q̂ has no double arrows.
(3) Let α : x → y be in Q̂1 and φ ∈ Aut(k̂Q). Then there exists a
unique arrow φx → φy in Q̂, which we denote by (π̂φ)(α), and we
have φ(α) = φα(π̂φ)(α) ∈ k̂Q(φx, φy) for a unique φα ∈ k
× :=
k \ {0}. This defines an automorphism π̂φ of Q̂, and thus a group
homomorphism π̂ : Aut(k̂Q) → Aut(Q̂).
(4) Similarly, let α : x → y be in Q1 and ψ ∈ Aut(kQ). Then there exists
a unique arrow ψx → ψy in Q, which we denote by (πψ)(α). This
defines an automorphism πψ of Q, and thus a group homomorphism
π : Aut(kQ) → Aut(Q).
We cite the following from [3, Proposition 7.4].
Proposition 3.2. Let R be a locally bounded category, and g, h auto-
morphisms of R acting freely on R. If there exists a map ρ : R0 → k
×
such that ρ(y)g(f) = h(f)ρ(x) for all morphisms f : x → y in R, then
R/〈g〉 ∼= R/〈h〉.
156 Derived equivalence classification
Definition 3.3. (1) For a quiver Q = (Q0, Q1, s, t) we set Q[Q−1
1 ] to be
the quiver
Q[Q−1
1 ] := (Q0, Q1 ⊔ {α−1 | α ∈ Q1}, s′, t′),
where s′|Q1 := s, t′|Q1 := t, s′(α−1) := t(α) and t′(α−1) := s(α) for all
α ∈ Q1. A walk in Q is a path in Q[Q−1
1 ].
(2) Suppose that Q is a finite oriented tree. Then for each x, y ∈
Q0 there exists a unique shortest walk from x to y in Q, which we
denote by w(x, y). If w(x, y) = αεn
n · · ·αε1
1 for some α1, · · · , αn ∈ Q1
and ε1, . . . , εn ∈ {1,−1}, then we define a subquiver W (x, y) of Q by
W (x, y) := (W (x, y)0,W (x, y)1, s
′, t′), where W (x, y)0 := {s(αi), t(αi) |
i = 1, . . . , n}, W (x, y)1 := {α1, . . . , αn}, and s′, t′ are restrictions of s, t
to W (x, y)1, respectively. Since Q is an oriented tree, w(x, y) is uniquely
recovered by W (x, y). Therefore we can identify w(x, y) with W (x, y),
and define a sink and a source of w(x, y) as those in W (x, y).
The following is a central part of the proof of the main result.
Proposition 3.4. Let Q be a finite oriented tree and φ, ψ automorphisms
of k̂Q acting freely on k̂Q. If the actions of φ and ψ coincide on the
objects of k̂Q, then there exists a map ρ : (Q̂0 =) k̂Q0 → k
× such that
ρ(y)ψ(f) = φ(f)ρ(x) for all morphisms f : x → y in k̂Q. Hence in
particular, k̂Q/〈φ〉 is isomorphic to k̂Q/〈ψ〉.
Proof. Assume that the actions of φ, ψ ∈ Aut(k̂Q) coincides on the objects
of k̂Q. Then φ and ψ induce the same quiver automorphism q = π̂φ = π̂ψ
of Q̂, and there exist (φα)
α∈Q̂1
, (ψα)
α∈Q̂1
∈ (k×)Q̂1 such that for each
α ∈ Q̂1 we have
φ(α) = φαq(α), ψ(α) = ψαq(α).
For each path λ = αn · · ·α1 in Q̂ with α1, . . . , αn ∈ Q̂1 we set φλ :=
φαn
· · ·φα1 . Then we have
φ(λ) = φλq(λ),
where q(λ) := q(αn) · · · q(α1) because
φ(αn) · · ·φ(α1) = φαn
· · ·φα1q(αn) · · · q(α1).
To show the statement we may assume that ψα = 1 for all α ∈ Q̂1.
Since for each x, y ∈ Q̂0 the morphism space k̂Q(x, y) is at most 1-
dimensional and has a basis of the form µ for some path µ, it is enough
H. Asashiba, M. Kimura 157
to show that there exists a map ρ : Q̂0 → k
× satisfying the following
condition:
ρ(v[j]) = φβρ(u[i]) for all β : u[i] → v[j] in Q̂1. (3.1)
We define a map ρ as follows:
Fix a maximal path µ : y x in Q. Then x is a sink and y is a source in
Q. We can write µ as µ = αl · · ·α1 for some α1, . . . , αl ∈ Q1. First we set
ρ(x[0]) := 1. By induction on 0 6 i ∈ Z we define ρ(x[i]) and ρ(x[−i]) by
the following formulas:
ρ(x[i+1]) := φµ[i+1]φµ∗[i]ρ(x[i]), (3.2)
ρ(x[i−1]) := φ−1
µ∗[i−1]φ
−1
µ[i]ρ(x[i]). (3.3)
Now for each i ∈ Z and u ∈ Q0 if w(u, x) = βεm
m · · ·βε1
1 for some
β1, . . . , βm ∈ Q1 and ε1, . . . , εm ∈ {1,−1}, then we set
ρ(u[i]) := φ−ε1
β
[i]
1
· · ·φ−εm
β
[i]
m
ρ(x[i]). (3.4)
We have to verify the condition (3.1).
Case 1. β = α[i] : u[i] → v[i] for some i ∈ Z, and α : u → v in Q1.
Since Q is an oriented tree, we have either w(u, x) = w(v, x)α or w(v, x) =
w(u, x)α−1. In either case we have ρ(v[i])=φα[i]ρ(u[i]) by the formula (3.4).
Case 2. Otherwise, we have β = λ∗[i] : u[i] → v[i+1] for some maximal
path λ : v u in Q and i ∈ Z. In this case the condition (3.1) has the
following form:
ρ(v[i+1]) = φλ∗[i]ρ(u[i]). (3.5)
Two paths are said to be parallel if they have the same source and the
same target. We prepare the following for the proof.
Claim 2. If ζ and η are parallel paths in Q̂, then we have φζ = φη.
Indeed, since ζ − η ∈ Î, we have φ(ζ) = φ(η), which shows
φζq(ζ) = φηq(η).
Here we have q(ζ) = ψ(ζ) = ψ(η) = q(η), and ψ(ζ) 6= 0 because ζ 6= 0.
Hence φζ = φη, as required.
We now set d(a, b) to be the number of sinks in w(a, b) for all a, b ∈ Q0.
By induction on d(y, v) we show that the condition (3.5) holds. Note that
both v and y (resp. u and x) are sources (resp. sinks) in Q.

Assume d(y, v) = 0. Then y = v because these are sources in Q. By

If u = x, then λ = µ and hence φµ∗[i]ρ(x[i]) = φλ∗[i]ρ(u[i]). Thus (3.5)
holds.
If u 6= x, then φµ∗[i]φµ[i] = φλ∗[i]φλ[i] by Claim 2. Since Q is an oriented
tree, we have w(u, x) = µλ−1, and ρ(u[i]) = φλ[i]φ−1
µ[i]ρ(x[i]). Therefore
ρ(v[i+1]) = φµ∗[i]ρ(x[i]) = φλ∗[i]φλ[i]φ−1
µ[i]ρ(x[i]) = φλ∗[i]ρ(u[i]),
and (3.5) holds.

by induction hypothesis. Since the paths ν[i+1](ν0ν)∗[i] and ν

It follows from (3.6), (3.7) and (3.8) that

(If u1 = u, then ν0ν1 = λ and this already gives (3.5).) Again by the
result of Case 1 we have

Since the paths λ∗[i]λ[i] and (ν0ν1)∗[i](ν0ν1)[i] are parallel, we have
φλ∗[i]φλ[i] = φ(ν0ν1)∗[i]φ(ν0ν1)[i]
by Claim 1. The last three equalities give (3.5).
4. Main result
Theorem 4.1. Let A be a piecewise hereditary algebra of tree type and φ
an automorphism of  with jump n. Then Â/〈φ〉 and Tnφ0
(A) are derived
equivalent, where we set φ0 := (1[0])−1ν−nφ1[0].
Proof. Let T be the tree type of A. Then by Lemma 2.1 there exists an
admissibly oriented tree Q with Q̄ = T . We set φ′ := νnAφ̂0 (= φ̂0ν
n
A). Then
Tnφ0
(A) = Â/〈φ′〉. By Proposition 2.3(2) there exist some ψ,ψ′ ∈ Aut(k̂Q)
both with jump n such that Â/〈φ〉 (resp. Â/〈φ′〉) is derived equivalent
to k̂Q/〈ψ〉 (resp. k̂Q/〈ψ′〉), and the actions of ψ and ψ′ coincide on the
objects of k̂Q. Then by Proposition 3.4 we have k̂Q/〈ψ〉 ∼= k̂Q/〈ψ′〉.
Hence Â/〈φ〉 and Tnφ0
(A) are derived equivalent.
Definition 4.2. Let Λ be a generalized n-fold extension of a piecewise
hereditary algebra A of tree type T , say Λ = Â/〈φ〉 for some φ ∈ Aut(A)
with jump n. Further let Q be an admissibly oriented tree with Q̄ = T .
160 Derived equivalence classification
Then by Proposition 2.3 there exists ψ ∈ Aut(k̂Q) with jump n such
that Â/〈φ〉 is derived equivalent to k̂Q/〈ψ〉. We define the (derived
equivalence) type type(Λ) of Λ to be the triple (T, n, π(ψ0)), where ψ0 :=
(1[0])−1ν−n
kQψ1
[0] and π(ψ0) is the conjugacy class of π(ψ0) in Aut(T ).
type(Λ) is uniquely determined by Λ.
By Theorem 4.1, we can extend the main theorem in [3] as follows.
Theorem 4.3. Let Λ, Λ′ be generalized multifold extensions of piecewise
hereditary algebras of tree type. Then the following are equivalent:
(i) Λ and Λ′ are derived equivalent.
(ii) Λ and Λ′ are stably equivalent.
(iii) type(Λ) = type(Λ′).
Finally we pose a question concerning a refinement of Theorem 4.1.
Question. Under the setting of Theorem 4.1, when are the algebras
Â/〈φ〉 and Tnφ0
(A) isomorphic?
By Proposition 3.4 this is affirmative if A is hereditary.
