§9. Euclidean case. Regular simples and roots<br />

In this secti<strong>on</strong> we show that the tubes are indexed <strong>by</strong> the projective line,<br />

and that the dimensi<strong>on</strong> vectors <strong>of</strong> indecomposable representati<strong>on</strong>s are<br />

precisely the positive roots for .<br />

CONSTRUCTION.<br />

Let e be an extending vertex, P=P(e), p=dim P. Clearly =1=.<br />

By §7 Lemma 4 there is a unique indecomposable L <strong>of</strong> dimensi<strong>on</strong> § +p.<br />

P and L are preprojective, are bricks, and have no self-extensi<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

Hom(L,P)=0 for if ¤ :L ¡ P then Im ¤ is a summand <strong>of</strong> L, a c<strong>on</strong>tradicti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

1<br />

Ext (L,P)=0 since ==-=0.<br />

dim Hom(P,L)=2 since = 2.<br />

LEMMA 1. If 0£ ¤ ¡ Hom(P,L) then ¤ is m<strong>on</strong>o, Coker ¤ is a regular<br />

indecomposable <strong>of</strong> dimensi<strong>on</strong> § , and reg.top(Coker ¤ ) £ 0.<br />

e<br />

PROOF. Suppose ¤ is not m<strong>on</strong>o. Now Ker ¤ and Im ¤ are preprojective (since<br />

they embed in P and L), and so they have defect ¤ -1. Now the sequence<br />

0 ¡ Ker ¤¦ ¡ P ¡ Im ¤¦ ¡ 0 is exact, so<br />

-1 = defect(P) = defect(Ker ¤ ) + defect(Im ¤ ) ¤ -2,<br />

Let X=Coker ¤ , and c<strong>on</strong>sider ¤<br />

Ext (X,P)=k. Apply Hom(-,L) to get Hom(X,L)=0. Apply Hom(X,-) to get X a<br />

If X has regular top T, then<br />

dim T = dim Hom(P,T) = = = dim Hom(L,T) £ 0.<br />
