TERESA CONDE AND KARIN ERDMANN
Abstract. The ADR algebra RA of a finite-dimensional algebra A is a quasihereditary algebra. In this paper we study the Ringel dual R(RA ) of RA . We
prove that R(RA ) can be identified with (RAop ) op , under certain ‘minimal’
regularity conditions for A. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions
for the ADR algebra to be Ringel selfdual.

1. Introduction
Quasihereditary algebras were introduced by Cline, Parshall and Scott ([4]) to
investigate highest weight categories arising in algebraic Lie theory, and they were
extensively studied from the perspective of finite-dimensional algebras by Dlab and
Ringel ([11, 10]). Since then, quasihereditary algebras have been discovered in many
other contexts.
In particular, to every finite-dimensional algebra A (or more generally, to every
Artin algebra A) there is a canonical quasihereditary algebra R̃A which contains A

as an idempotent subalgebra. That is, there is an idempotent ξ in R̃A such that
A = ξ R̃A ξ. The algebra R̃A was introduced by Auslander in [1], to show that any
algebra occurs as idempotent subalgebra of an algebra of finite global dimension.
Subsequently, Dlab and Ringel showed in [8] that R̃A is in fact quasihereditary. To
define R̃A , take the direct sum of all radical powers of A, that is
G̃ =
L
M
A/ Radi A,
i=1
where L denotes the Loewy length of A. Then R̃A := EndA (G̃)op . To study its
representation theory, one considers the basic version of R̃A instead. We denote
such basic algebra by RA and call it the Auslander–Dlab–Ringel algebra (ADR
algebra) associated to A.
In specific cases, an algebra A may occur in many different ways as an idempotent
subalgebra of some quasihereditary algebras. A famous example is the Schur algebra
S (n, r). For n ≥ r, it has the group algebra of a symmetric group of degree r as an
idempotent subalgebra. One might think of ADR algebras as analogues of Schur
algebras, which exist in general.
In [11], Ringel proved that quasihereditary algebras come in pairs. For every quasihereditary algebra (B, Φ, ⊑), there is another quasihereditary algebra
(R (B) , Φ, ⊑ op ), unique up to isomorphism, such that R (R (B)) is again Morita
equivalent to B. The algebra R (B) is defined as the endomorphism algebra
EndB (T ) op of a special B-module T , called the characteristic tilting module. We
call R (B) a Ringel dual of B.
The aim of this paper is to study the Ringel dual R (RA ) of an ADR algebra
RA . Quasihereditary algebras arising in Lie theory are often isomorphic to their
own Ringel dual. For example, this is the case for category O ([19]), or for Schur
algebras S(n, r) for n ≥ r, and q-analogues ([12]). However, Ringel selfduality
appears to be less prevalent in general.
Nevertheless, there is a natural description of the Ringel dual R (RA ) of an ADR
algebra RA when the radical structure of A satisfies certain symmetry conditions.
Our main result is as follows.
Theorem A (Main Theorem). Let A be a finite-dimensional algebra with Loewy
length L and assume that all projective and injective indecomposable A-modules are
rigid with Loewy length L. The Ringel dual of the quasihereditary algebra RA is
isomorphic to the opposite of the ADR algebra of Aop . That is,
R (RA ) ∼
= (RAop ) op .
Here a module is said to be rigid if its radical series coincides with its socle
series. Connected selfinjective algebras with radical cube zero but radical square
nonzero trivially satisfy the conditions of Theorem A. Such class of algebras was
studied in [13], and contains blocks of symmetric group algebras of weight 1 (see [6,
Section 7] for an example). According to [17], blocks of symmetric group algebras
of weight 2 also satisfy the assumptions of Theorem A when the underlying field
has characteristic p > 2.
Along the way, we prove preliminary results of independent interest. For instance, in Theorem 3.12, a complete description of the ∆-filtrations of the tilting
RA -modules is given in terms of the socle series of the injective indecomposable

A-modules, when A is an algebra whose projectives are rigid modules with Loewy
length L (here L denotes the Loewy length of A). Philosophically speaking, the
technicalities encountered towards the proof of Theorem A are due to the fact that
we are seeking to identify two algebras in a “noncanonical way”.
Furthermore, we give some details to explain why the assumptions on the Loewy
length and on the rigidity are needed for Theorem A to hold. First, it is necessary
that the projective cover Pi and the injective hull Qi of a simple module Li of A must
have the same Loewy length; otherwise there cannot be a canonical correspondence
between the labelling sets for weights between R (RA ) and (RAop ) op . In fact, we
show that the conditions in the statement of Theorem A are somehow ‘minimal’.
Theorem B. Let A be a finite-dimensional connected algebra with Loewy length L.
Suppose that dim EndA (Li ) = 1 for every simple module Li , and assume that the
projective cover Pi and the injective hull Qi of Li have both the same Loewy length
li . If the Cartan matrix of R(RA ) coincides with the Cartan matrix of (RAop )op (up
to a ‘natural’ permutation of rows and colums), then Pi and Qi are rigid modules,
and li = L for every i.
Our final result shows that the algebra RA is not usually Ringel selfdual.
Theorem C. The ADR algebra RA is Ringel selfdual if and only if A is a selfinjective Nakayama algebra.
It was already proved in [20] that selfinjective Nakayama algebras are Ringel
selfdual, but in our setting this comes out as a special case.
The layout of the paper is the following. Section 2 contains background on
quasihereditary algebras and on the ADR algebra. Section 3 is dedicated to the
proof of our main result: Theorem A. We start out this section by providing some
evidence that supports the statement of Theorem A. For the proof of this theorem,
we collect a number of auxiliary results which relate the ∆- and the ∇-filtrations
of the tilting modules over the ADR algebra, the highlight being Theorem 3.12.
In Section 4, we show that the regularity conditions for the algebra A assumed
in the statement of Theorem A are, in a certain sense, minimal. This is attained
by comparing several multiplicities for the algebras R (RA ) and (RAop ) op , and
culminates with the proof of Theorem B. In Section 5, we discuss Ringel selfduality
for the ADR algebra and prove Theorem C.
2. Background
In this section we give some background on quasihereditary algebras and on the
ADR algebra.
Throughout this paper the letters B and A shall denote arbitrary Artin algebras
over some underlying commutative artinian ring K. All the modules will be finitely
generated left modules. The notation mod B will be used for the category of (finitely
generated) B-modules.
The case when K is a field is perhaps the most significant one. In this situation,
A is just a finite-dimensional K-algebra, and the modules are finite-dimensional.
For the general case, the technology works the same, and details may be found in
the text book [2], Chapter II.

2.1. Quasihereditary algebras. Given an Artin algebra B, we may label the
isomorphism classes of simple B-modules by the elements of a finite poset (Φ, ⊑).
Denote the simple B-modules by Li , i ∈ Φ, and use the notation Pi (resp. Qi ) for
the projective cover (resp. injective hull) of Li .
Let ∆ (i) be the largest quotient of Pi whose composition factors are all of the
form Lj , with j ⊑ i, and call ∆ (i) the standard module with label i ∈ Φ. Dually,
denote the costandard module with label i by ∇ (i), i.e. let ∇ (i) be the largest
submodule of Qi with all composition factors of the form Lj , with j ⊒ i.
Denote by ∆ (resp. ∇) the set of all standard modules (resp. costandard modules). Given a class of modules Θ, let F (Θ) be the category of all B-modules which
have a Θ-filtration, that is, a filtration whose factors are isomorphic to modules in
Θ.
The notation [M : L] will be used for the multiplicity of a simple module L in
the composition series of M . In a similar manner, (M : ∆(i)) shall denote the
multiplicity of ∆(i) in a ∆-filtration of a module M in F (∆). Define (M : ∇(i)),
M ∈ F (∇), in the same way.
Definition 2.1. We say that (B, Φ, ⊑) is quasihereditary if the following hold for
every i ∈ Φ:
(1) [∆(i) : Li ] = 1;
(2) Pi ∈ F (∆);
(3) (Pi : ∆ (i)) = 1, and (Pi : ∆ (j)) 6= 0 ⇒ j ⊒ i.
An algebra (B, Φ, ⊑) is quasihereditary if and only if (B op , Φ, ⊑) is quasihereditary. The standard modules and the costandard modules have striking homological
properties. The following is well known:
(1) if Ext1B (∆(i), ∆(j)) 6= 0, then i ❁ j;
(2) Ext1B (∆(i), ∇(j)) = 0 for all i, j ∈ Φ.
2.1.1. Ringel duality. In [15] Ringel introduced the concept of characteristic tilting
module over a quasihereditary algebra. This is a multiplicity free B-module T ,
satisfying F (∆) ∩ F (∇) = add T . Here for a module M , we denote by add M the
full subcategory of mod B consisting of all modules isomorphic to a direct summand
of a finite direct sum of copies of M .
It is common to refer to a module in F (∆) ∩ F (∇) as a tilting module. The
indecomposable
tilting modules are in bijection with the elements of Φ. We write
L
T
(i)
– the indecomposable summands T (i) are characterised by the
T =
i∈Φ
following result.
Lemma 2.2 ([15]). Let (B, Φ, ⊑) be an arbitrary quasihereditary algebra. For every
i in Φ there is a short exact sequence
0
∆ (i)
φ
T (i)
X (i)
0 ,
with φ a left minimal F (∇)-approximation of ∆ (i) and with X (i) a module lying
in F ({∆ (j) : j ❁ i}).
The endomorphism algebra EndB (T )op is known as the Ringel dual of B, and
shall be denoted by R (B). Let Pi′ be the projective indecomposable R (B)-module
HomB (T, T (i)) and let L′i be its top. According to [15], the algebra R (B) is
quasihereditary with respect to the poset (Φ, ⊑ op ), and moreover R (R (B)) is

Morita equivalent to B. Denote the standard and the costandard R (B)-modules
by ∆′ (i) and ∇′ (i).
2.2. The ADR algebra as an ultra strongly quasihereditary algebra. Fix
an Artin algebra A. Given a module M in mod A, we shall denote its Loewy length
by LL(M ). Let A have Loewy length L (as a left module). We want to study the
LL
basic version of the endomorphism algebra of j=1 A/ Radj A.
For this, let {P1 , . . . , Pn } be a complete set of projective indecomposable Amodules and let li be the Loewy length of Pi . Define
G = GA :=
li
n M
M
Pi / Radj Pi .
i=1 j=1
The Auslander–Dlab–Ringel algebra of A (ADR algebra of A) is defined as
RA := EndA (G) op .
Observe that the functor HomA (G, −) : mod A −→ mod RA is fully faithful as G is
a generator of mod A.
The projective indecomposable RA -modules are given by
Pi,j := HomA G, Pi / Radj Pi ,
for 1 ≤ i ≤ n, 1 ≤ j ≤ li .
Denote the simple quotient of Pi,j by Li,j and define
(1)
Λ := {(i, j) : 1 ≤ i ≤ n, 1 ≤ j ≤ li },
so that Λ labels the simple RA -modules. Define a partial order, ✂, on Λ by
(2)
(i, j) ✁ (k, l) ⇔ j > l.
It turns out that the ADR algebra RA is a quasihereditary algebra with respect
to the poset (Λ, ✂), and its quasihereditary structure is specially neat.
Let us clarify the previous assertion. Following Ringel ([16]), a quasihereditary
algebra (B, Φ, ⊑) is said to be right strongly quasihereditary if Rad ∆ (i) ∈ F (∆)
for all i ∈ Φ. This property holds if and only if the category F (∆) is closed under
submodules (see [9], [11, Lemma 4.1*] and [16, Appendix]).
Let (B, Φ, ⊑) be an arbitrary quasihereditary algebra, as before. Additionally,
suppose that B satisfies the following two conditions:
(A1): Rad ∆ (i) ∈ F (∆) for all i ∈ Φ (that is, B is right strongly quasihereditary);
(A2): Qi ∈ F (∆) for all i ∈ Φ such that Rad ∆ (i) = 0.
We call these algebras right ultra strongly quasihereditary algebras (RUSQ algebras,
for short). The algebra (B, Φ, ⊑) is said to be a left ultra strongly quasihereditary
algebra (LUSQ) if the quasihereditary algebra (B op , Φ, ⊑) is RUSQ.
Remark 2.3. It was proved in [5, §2.5.1] that the definition of RUSQ algebra given
in [6] is equivalent to the one above.
According to [6, §4], (RA , Λ, ✂) is a RUSQ algebra. The ADR algebra is the
prototype of a RUSQ algebra.
6
TERESA CONDE AND KARIN ERDMANN
Theorem 2.4 ([6, §4]). The algebra (RA , Λ, ✂) is a RUSQ algebra. If Qi is the injective A-module with simple socle isomorphic to Top Pi , then the following identity
holds
T (i, 1) = Qi,li = HomA (G, Qi ) .
2.2.1. Properties of RUSQ algebras. Our results about the ADR algebra rely on
its properties as a RUSQ algebra. Next, we outline the main features of RUSQ
algebras.
Let (B, Φ, ⊑) be a RUSQ algebra. It is always possible to label the elements in
Φ as
Φ = {(i, j) : 1 ≤ i ≤ n, 1 ≤ j ≤ li },
for certain n, li ∈ Z>0 , so that [∆ (k, l) : Li,j ] 6= 0 implies that k = i and j ≥ l (see
[6, §5]). We shall always assume that the elements in Φ are labelled in such a way.
The labelling poset (Λ, ✂) for the ADR algebra defined in (1) and (2) is compatible
with this.
The following theorem summarises the main properties of the RUSQ algebras.
Theorem 2.5 ([6, §5]). Let (B, Φ, ⊑) be a RUSQ algebra. The following hold:
(1) F (∆) is closed under submodules;
(2) Rad ∆ (i, j) = ∆ (i, j + 1) for j < li , and ∆ (i, li ) = Li,li ;
(3) each ∆ (i, j) is uniserial and has composition factors Li,j , . . . , Li,li , ordered
from the top to the socle;
(4) Qi,li ∼
= T (i, 1) and T (i, j + 1) ⊆ T (i, j) for j < li ;
(5) T (i, li ) ∼
= ∇ (i, j)
= ∇ (i, li ), and for j < li we have T (i, j) /T (i, j + 1) ∼
and Qi,j ∼
= T (i, 1) /T (i, j + 1);
(6) for M ∈ F (∆), the total number
of standard modules appearing in a ∆P
filtration of M is given by ni=1 [M : Li,li ];
(7) a module M belongs to F (∆) if and only if Soc M is a (finite) direct sum
of modules of type Li,li .
RUSQ algebras are well behaved with respect to Ringel duality.
Theorem 2.6 ([6, §6]). Let (B, Φ, ⊑) be a RUSQ algebra. Then (R (B) , Φ, ⊑ op )
is a LUSQ algebra. The costandard module ∇′ (i, 1) is isomorphic to L′i,1 , and for
j > 1 we have
∼ ∇′ (i, j) /L′ .
∇′ (i, j − 1) =

3. Theorem A
The goal of this section is to prove Theorem A stated in the Introduction. In
order to attain this, we investigate in detail the ∆-filtrations of the tilting modules
over the ADR algebra RA .

3.1. Motivation for Theorem A. Given an Artin algebra A, define
C = CA :=

j=1
This is a cogenerator of mod A. Set SA := EndA (C) op . It turns out that the
algebras SA and R (RA ) have a very similar structure. In fact, the statement of
Theorem A can be loosely rephrased as: the algebras SA and R (RA ) are isomorphic
provided that A is “nice enough”. Before delving into the technical results necessary
to prove Theorem A, we will try to illustrate (informally) why the algebras SA and
R (RA ) should be related.
Ln Lli
T (i, j).
In this setting, R (RA ) is equal to EndRA (T ) op , where T = i=1 j=1
This algebra is quasihereditary with respect to (Λ, ✂op ), where (Λ, ✂) is the poset
associated with the ADR algebra described in (1) and (2). According to Theorem 2.6, (R (RA ) , Λ, ✂op ) is a LUSQ algebra.
Turning the attention to the algebra SA , we have that

where D is the standard duality and PiA denotes the projective indecomposable
Aop -module D (Qi ). To avoid ambiguity, denote the poset corresponding to the
ADR algebra RAop of Aop by (ΛAop , EAop ) and represent its elements by [i, j].
Note that SA is quasihereditary, as RAop is. To be precise, (SA , ΛAop , EAop ) is a
LUSQ algebra since (RAop , ΛAop , EAop ) is RUSQ.
So both (R (RA ) , Λ, ✂op ) and (SA , ΛAop , EAop ) are LUSQ algebras. We take this
analogy further by comparing the posets
(Λ, E op ) , Λ = {(i, j) : 1 ≤ i ≤ n, 1 ≤ j ≤ li = LL(Pi )},
op
(ΛAop , EAop ) , ΛAop = {[i, j] : 1 ≤ i ≤ n, 1 ≤ j ≤ LL(PiA ) = LL(Qi )}.
For the algebras R (RA ) and SA to be isomorphic they must have the same number
of simple modules, i.e. the sets Λ and ΛAop must have the same cardinality. It
seems then reasonable to require that LL(Pi ) = LL(Qi ), for all 1 ≤ i ≤ n.
Ideally, an isomorphism between R (RA ) and SA would somehow preserve the
orders E op and EAop of Λ and ΛAop , respectively. As R (RA ) and SA are LUSQ
8
TERESA CONDE AND KARIN ERDMANN
algebras, they both have uniserial costandard modules. By Theorem 2.6, the costandard R (RA )-module with label (i, j), ∇′ (i, j), has the following structure
(i, 1)
(i, 2)
.
..
.
(i, j)
The costandard SA -module with label [i, j], ∇SA [i, j], is isomorphic to the module
D(∆RAop [i, j]), where ∆RAop [i, j] is the standard RAop -module with label [i, j].
Therefore, the submodule lattice of ∇SA [i, j] is ‘dual’ to the submodule lattice of
∆RAop [i, j]. Using part 3 of Theorem 2.5, we deduce that ∇SA [i, j] has the following
structure
[i, LL(Qi )]
[i, LL(Qi ) − 1]
.
..
.
[i, j]
If we suppose that LL(Pi ) = LL(Qi ) = li for all i, then the modules ∇′ (i, j) and
∇SA [i, li − j + 1] have the same length for every 1 ≤ i ≤ n, 1 ≤ j ≤ li . The stronger
assumption that LL(Pi ) = LL(Qi ) = L for all i, actually implies that the bijection
(i, j) 7−→ [i, L − j + 1] preserves the partial orders. In this case, we have
(i, j) ✁ op (k, l) ⇔ (i, j) ✄ (k, l)
⇔j<l
⇔ L − j + 1 > L − l + 1 ⇔ [i, L − j + 1] ✁Aop [k, L − l + 1].
These observations support the assumptions and the claim of Theorem A.
Theorem A. Suppose that A satisfies LL(Pi ) = LL(Qi ) = L for all i, 1 ≤ 1 ≤ n.
Moreover, suppose that all projectives Pi and all injectives Qi are rigid. Then
R (RA ) ∼
= (RAop )op .
= SA ∼
Recall that a module is rigid if its radical series coincides with its socle series. The
assumptions in the statement of Theorem A will be further discussed in Section 4.
3.2. Towards the proof of Theorem A. Roughly speaking, the quasihereditary
structure of the algebra SA depends on the socle series of the injective indecomposable A-modules, whereas the structure of the algebra R (RA ) depends on the
filtrations
0 ⊂ T (i, li ) ⊂ · · · ⊂ T (i, j) ⊂ · · · ⊂ T (i, 1) = Qi,li
mentioned in Theorem 2.5. The results in this subsection explore the connections
between these two filtrations. Furthermore, we determine the ∆-filtration of the
tilting modules T (i, j) completely, when A satisfies the relevant conditions for Theorem A.
THE RINGEL DUAL OF THE ADR ALGEBRA

3.2.1. ∆-semisimple filtrations for the ADR algebra. Recall that the ADR algebra
is a RUSQ algebra. Our proof of Theorem A uses the special properties of ∆filtrations of modules over RUSQ algebras.
We recall the definition
P of trace of a module. The trace of Θ in a B-module M
is given by Tr(Θ, M ) := f : f ∈HomB (U,M), U∈Θ Im f . This is the largest submodule
of M generated by Θ.
A module M is said to be ∆-semisimple if it isomorphic to a direct sum of standard modules. When the underlying algebra is a RUSQ algebra, the ∆-semisimple
modules are particularly well behaved.
Proposition 3.1 ([7, Corollary 3.3, Proposition 3.8]). Let (B, Φ, ⊑) be a RUSQ
algebra. The following hold:
(1) every submodule of a ∆-semisimple B-module is still ∆-semisimple;
(2) every module M ∈ F (∆) has a unique ∆-semisimple submodule which is
maximal among the class of all ∆-semisimple submodules of M ;
(3) the largest ∆-semisimple submodule of M ∈ F (∆) is given by δ (M ) :=
Tr(∆, M ), and moreover M/δ (M ) lies in F (∆).
Write δ := Tr(∆, −) and let δ0 be the zero functor in mod B. For i ≥ 1 and M
in mod B, define δi+1 (M ) as the module satisfying the identity δi+1 (M ) /δi (M ) =
δ (M/δi (M )). Note that δ1 = δ.
Let (B, Φ, ⊑) be a RUSQ algebra. Using Proposition 3.1, we deduce that every
module M in F (∆) has a special filtration with proper inclusions
0 ⊂ δ (M ) ⊂ · · · ⊂ δm (M ) = M
whose factors are ∆-semisimple modules. This is the ∆-semisimple filtration of M .
The integer m is called the ∆-semisimple length of M . We write ∆. ssl M = m.
The operators δi can be regarded as subfunctors of the identity functor 1mod B .
In fact, the functors δi are left exact subfunctors of 1mod B , or in other words, they
satisfy δi (N ) = N ∩ δi (M ) for every N and M with N ⊆ M (we refer to [7, §3.2]
for further details).
Proposition 3.2 ([7, Lemmas 3.5, 3.11, 3.12]). Let (B, Φ, ⊑) be a RUSQ algebra.
Then the functors δi satisfy δi (N ) = N ∩ δi (M ) for every N and M with N ⊆ M .
In particular, δi ◦ δj = δmin{i,j} . Moreover, the following hold for M in F (∆):
(1) if i ≤ ∆. ssl M , then ∆. ssl (M/δi (M )) = ∆. ssl M − i;
(2) if N is a submodule of M , then ∆. ssl N ≤ ∆. ssl M ;
(3) if i ≤ ∆. ssl M then δi (M ) is the largest ∆-filtered submodule N of M such
that ∆. ssl N = i.
When the underlying RUSQ algebra is the ADR algebra, there is further information about the ∆-semisimple filtrations.
Theorem 3.3 ([7, Lemma 4.3, Theorem 4.4]). Let M be in mod A. Then the RA module N := HomA (G, M ) lies in F (∆) and the socle series of M determines the
∆-semisimple filtration of N . More precisely,
δi (N ) = HomA (G, Soci M ) ,
for all i, and ∆. ssl N = LL(M ). Moreover, if Soci M/ Soci−1 M =
M
δi (N ) /δi−1 (N ) =
∆ (xθ , i) .

Quotients of socle series and quotients of ∆-semisimple filtrations will occur
frequently, and to reduce necessary symbols, we will use the following notation: for
any module M , any module N in F (∆) and i ≥ 1 we write
Soci M := Soci M/ Soci−1 M
and δ i (N ) := δi (N ) /δi−1 (N ) .
3.2.2. Preliminary results. We now investigate the structure of the RA -modules for
algebras A such that LL(Pi ) = L for all i. Then, the minimal elements in the poset
(Λ, ✂) are precisely all (k, L) for 1 ≤ k ≤ n. Soon we will also study the situation
when all Pi are rigid, that is, when their radical series and their socle series coincide.
Lemma 3.4. Let A be such that LL(Pi ) = L for all i, 1 ≤ i ≤ n. Then
T (k, L) = Lk,L = ∆ (k, L) ,
for 1 ≤ k ≤ n.
Proof. Recall the description of the indecomposable tilting modules in Lemma 2.2.
The composition factor Lk,l has multiplicity one in both ∆ (k, l) and T (k, l), and
the composition factors of these two modules are of the form Li,j , with (i, j)✂(k, l).
The lemma follows from the fact that each (k, L) is a minimal element in (Λ, ✂).
Lemma 3.5. Let A be such that LL(Pi ) = L for all i, 1 ≤ i ≤ n. Let M be in
F (∆) and let l be the smallest integer such that (M : ∆(k, l)) 6= 0 for some k.
Then ∆. ssl M ≤ L − l + 1.
Proof. We use downwards induction on l. If l = L, then all the factors in a ∆filtration of M are of the form ∆(k, L) for some k. Since two standard modules
of this form have no nontrivial extensions, it follows that M is a direct sum of
standard modules, so that M = δ1 (M ) and ∆. ssl M = 1.
Let l < L. Assume the claim holds for modules N where a minimal l′ with
(N : ∆(k, l′ )) 6= 0 is such that l < l′ ≤ L. Consider M as in the statement of the
lemma. There is an exact sequence
0
δ1 (M )
M
M/δ1 (M )
0 .
Note that Ext1RA (∆ (k, l) , ∆ (i, j)) = 0 for any i, k and j ≥ l. As a consequence,
any ∆(k, l) which occurs in a ∆-filtration of M must occur in δ1 (M ) since it has
no nontrivial extensions with any other standard module which may appear in a
∆-filtration of M . Therefore, a minimal l′ with (M/δ1 (M ) : ∆(k, l′ )) 6= 0 satisfies
l < l′ . By the induction hypothesis, M/δ1 (M ) has ∆-semisimple length at most
L − l′ + 1. Proposition 3.2 implies that ∆. ssl M ≤ L − l′ + 1 + 1 ≤ L − l + 1.
Proposition 3.6. Let A be such that LL(Pi ) = L for all i, 1 ≤ i ≤ n. Then, for
every (k, l) in Λ, we have
T (k, l) ⊆ HomA (G, SocL−l+1 Qk ) = δL−l+1 (Qk,L ) = δL−l+1 (T (k, 1)) .
Proof. According to Theorem 2.4, we have that T (k, 1) = Qk,L = HomA (G, Qk ).
Theorem 3.3 implies that
HomA (G, SocL−l+1 Qk ) = δL−l+1 (Qk,L ) = δL−l+1 (T (k, 1)) .
By part 4 of Theorem 2.5, it follows that T (k, l) ⊆ T (k, 1). By Lemma 3.5,
∆. ssl T (k, l) ≤ L − l + 1. According to part 3 of Proposition 3.2, this shows that
T (k, l) is contained in δL−l+1 (T (k, 1)).
THE RINGEL DUAL OF THE ADR ALGEBRA
11
By Proposition 3.6, if all the projectives in mod A have the same Loewy length,
then T (k, l) is a submodule of δL−l+1 (Qk,l ) for every (k, l) in Λ. If additionally
all projectives Pi are rigid, then a ∆-filtration of T (k, l) has the same number of
factors as a ∆-filtration of δL−l+1 (Qk,L ).
Proposition 3.7. Suppose that A satisfies LL(Pi ) = L for all i, 1 ≤ i ≤ n. Assume
that the projectives Pi are rigid. Then the monic
HomRA (Pi,L , T (k, l))
HomRA (Pi,L , δL−l+1 (Qk,L ))
induced by the inclusion
T (k, l) ⊆ δL−l+1 (Qk,L )
is an isomorphism. In particular, the modules T (k, l) and δL−l+1 (Qk,L ) are filtered
by the same number of standard modules.
Proof. Recall that the K-module HomRA (Pi,L , δL−l+1 (Qk,L )) is isomorphic to the
module HomA (Pi , SocL−l+1 Qk ) via the functor HomA (G, −). So consider a morphism f : Pi −→ SocL−l+1 Qk and the corresponding map f∗ = HomA (G, f ). To
prove the statement, we must show that the image of f∗ is contained in T (k, l).
According to [6, Lemma 5.7], it is enough to prove that all the composition factors
of Im f∗ are of the form Lx,y with (x, y) ⋫ (k, l), that is, with y ≥ l. The module
SocL−l+1 Qk has Loewy length L − l + 1, hence RadL−l+1 Pi ⊆ Ker f . Now, Pi is
rigid and therefore RadL−l+1 Pi = Socl−1 Pi . Thus
δl−1 (Pi,L ) = HomA G, RadL−l+1 Pi ⊆ Ker f∗ .
By Theorem 3.3 , the quotient Pi,L /δl−1 (Pi,L ) is only filtered by standard modules
∆(s, t) with t ≥ l, and hence all composition factors of Im f∗ are of the form Lx,y
with y ≥ l. The last assertion in the statement of the proposition follows from part
6 of Theorem 2.5.
The last part of Proposition 3.7 suggests that the total number of ∆-quotients
is an important invariant in this setting. If M is in F (∆), we denote the total
number of ∆-quotients of M by r(M ). In this context, we shall refer to r(M ) as
the rank of M ∈ F (∆). By part 6 of Theorem 2.5, the rank of M ∈ F (∆) is equal
to the total number of composition factors of M which are of the form Lk,lk as k
varies.
Using Proposition 3.7 it is possible to compute the ∆-semisimple length of all
tilting modules T (k, l) in the case when all the projectives in mod A are rigid and
have the same Loewy length.
Lemma 3.8. Suppose that A satisfies LL(Pi ) = L for all i, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, and assume
that the projectives are rigid. Then
∆. ssl T (k, l) = min{L − l + 1, LL(Qk )},
for (k, l) ∈ Λ. In particular, if LL(Qi ) = L for all i, then ∆. ssl T (k, l) = L − l + 1
for all (k, l) ∈ Λ.
In order to prove Lemma 3.8, we will apply the following general principle.
Lemma 3.9. Let (B, Φ, ⊑) be a RUSQ algebra, and let M be in F (∆). Assume
that N is a submodule of M satisfying r(N ) = r(M ). There is a canonical monic
12
TERESA CONDE AND KARIN ERDMANN

δ i (N ) −→ δ i (M ) for every i. If δ i (M ) ∼
=
ω∈Ωi ∆(xω , yω ) (for some index set
Ωi ), then
M
∆(xω , yω′ )
δ i (N ) ∼
=
ω∈Ωi
where yω ≤
yω′
for all ω. In particular, ∆. ssl M = ∆. ssl N .
Remark 3.10. Let (B, Φ, ⊑) be a RUSQ algebra. Recall from §3.2.1 that the functors
δi satisfy δi (N ) = N ∩ δi (M ) for every N and M with N ⊆ M . This implies that
there is a well-defined monomorphism N/δi (N ) −→ M/δi (M ), mapping n + δi (N )
to n + δi (M ).
Proof of Lemma 3.9. Note that δi (N ) ⊆ δi (M ). Using part 6 of Theorem 2.5,
we deduce that r(δi (N )) ≤ r(δi (M )). By Remark 3.10, we also conclude that
r(N/δi (N )) ≤ r(M/δi (M )). Since
r (M ) = r (δi (M )) + r (M/δi (M ))
≥ r (δi (N )) + r (N/δi (N ))
= r(N ) = r(M ),
it follows that r (δi (M )) = r (δi (N )) and r (M/δi (M )) = r (N/δi (N )) for all i.
As a consequence, we deduce that r (δ i (M )) = r (δ i (N )) for all i. Therefore, the
canonical monic in Remark 3.10 restricts to a monic δ i (N ) −→ δ i (M ) between ∆semisimple modules which must satisfy the claim in the statement of the lemma.
Proof of Lemma 3.8. By Proposition 3.7, T (k, l) is contained in δL−l+1 (Qk,L ) and
they have the same rank. According to Lemma 3.9, we must have ∆. ssl T (k, l) =
∆. ssl δL−l+1 (Qk,L ). Using Theorem 3.3, we conclude that the ∆-semisimple length
of Qk,L = HomA (G, Qk ) is LL(Qk ). From Proposition 3.2, we deduce that the ∆semisimple length of δL−l+1 (Qk,L ) is given by min{L − l + 1, LL(Qk )}.
We now go one step further and fully describe, in Theorem 3.12, the ∆-semisimple
filtration of T (k, l) in terms of the socle series of Qk in the case when all the projectives in mod A are rigid and have the same Loewy length. For the proof of Theorem
3.12, the following result will be useful.
Lemma 3.11. Let (B, Φ, ⊑) be a RUSQ algebra, and let M be in F (∆), with
∆. ssl M = m ≥ 2. Suppose that 2 ≤ i ≤ m, and let π be a split epic mapping the
∆-semisimple module δi (M ) /δi−1 (M ) onto a summand ∆ (k, l). Then the epic
δi (M ) /δi−2 (M )
δ i (M )
π
∆ (k, l)
does not split.
Proof. Denote the canonical epic δi (M ) /δi−2 (M ) −→ δ i (M ) by ̟. Suppose, by
contradiction, that π◦̟ splits. Then δi (M ) /δi−2 (M ) ∼
= Ker(π◦̟)⊕∆ (k, l). Note
that Ker ̟ ⊆ Ker(π ◦ ̟), and that Ker ̟ ∼
= δ i−1 (M ). As a consequence, there is
a monic from Ker ̟ ⊕ ∆ (k, l) to δi (M ) /δi−2 (M ), so Soc(δ i−1 (M )) ⊕ Lk,lk can be
embedded in Soc(δi (M ) /δi−2 (M )). Using the first statement in Proposition 3.2,
is easy to check that δ i−1 (M ) = δ(δi (M ) /δi−2 (M )). Since Soc N = Soc δ (N ) for
any B-module N (see [7, §§3.2.2]), then Soc(δi (M ) /δi−2 (M )) = Soc(δ i−1 (M )),
which leads to a contradiction.
THE RINGEL DUAL OF THE ADR ALGEBRA
13
Recall that the ∆-semisimple filtration of the projectives Pi,j is determined by
the radical series of Pi when Pi is rigid: this is a consequence of Theorem 3.3.
Theorem 3.12. Suppose that A satisfies LL(Pi ) = L for all i, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, and
assume that the projectives are rigid. Let (k, l) ∈ Λ, and suppose that the socle
layers of Qk are

for i = 1, . . . , ∆. ssl T (k, l).
We outline the strategy of the proof of Theorem 3.12. Throughout, lL
k = L for all
k, and all projectives are assumed to be rigid. Suppose that Soci Qk = ω∈Ωk Lxω .
i
L
∆ (xω , l + i − 1), we proceed in two

steps.
L
(1) We show that δ i (T (k, l)) ∼
= ω∈Ωki ∆ (xω , yω,l ) with l + i − 1 ≤ yω,l ≤ L, for
all 1 ≤ i ≤ ∆. ssl T (k, l). In particular, the rank r(δi (T (k, l))) is constant
on δi (T (k, l)) as l varies, for all 1 ≤ i ≤ ∆. ssl T (k, l).
(2) We show that yω,l = l + i − 1 for all ω ∈ Ωki .
Proof of Theorem 3.12. Fix k and l, with 1 ≤
Lk ≤ n and 1 ≤ l ≤ L. Assume that
the socle series of Qk is given by Soci Qk = ω∈Ωk Lxω . We prove the statement
i
of the theorem by induction on i, 1 ≤ i ≤ ∆. ssl T (k, l). Note that δ1 (T (k, l)) =
∆ (k, l). As Soc Qk = Lk , then |Ωk1 | = 1 and xω = k for ω ∈ Ωk1 , thus the claim
holds trivially for i = 1. So let i be such that 2 ≤ i ≤ ∆. ssl T (k, l) and suppose,
by induction, that
M
δ i−1 (T (k, l)) =
∆ (xω , l + i − 2) .
ω∈Ωk
i−1
We wish to describe δ i (T (k, l)).
Step 1. Recall that
LT (k, 1) = Qk,L = HomA (G, Qk ). By Theorem 3.3, δ i (T (k, 1))
is isomorphic to ω∈Ωk ∆ (xω , i). By Proposition 3.7, T (k, l) ⊆ δL−l+1 (T (k, 1))
i
and r(T (k, l)) = r (δL−l+1 (T (k, 1))). By Lemma 3.9 (using Proposition 3.2), there
is a canonical monic mapping δ i (T (k, l)) −→ δ i (T (k, 1)), and δ i (T (k, l)) is isomorphic to
M
∆ (xω , yω,l ) ,
ω∈Ωk
i
with i ≤ yω,l ≤ L. We want to show that yω,l ≥ l + i − 1 for every ω. Take
ω ′ ∈ Ωki so that the integer yω′ ,l is minimal. If yω′ ,l ≤ l + i − 2, then, by induction, (xω′ , yω′ ,l ) 6⊳ (x, y) for every standart module ∆(x, y) filtering the quotient
δi (T (k, l))/δi−2 (T (k, l)). Thus, the canonical epic
δi (T (k, l)) /δi−2 (T (k, l))
δ i (T (k, l))
∆ (xω′ , yω′ ,l )
splits. This contradicts Lemma 3.11, therefore yω,l ≥ l + i − 1 for every ω.

Step 2. Let U := ω∈Ωk ∆ (xω , l + i − 1), which is a submodule of δ i (T (k, 1)) and
i
let ι : U −→ δ i (T (k, 1)) be the inclusion map. Take ν : δi (T (k, 1)) −→ δ i (T (k, 1))
to be the canonical epic with kernel δi−1 (T (k, 1)) and consider a projective cover
M
π : P :=
Pxω ,l+i−1 −→ U.
ω∈Ωk
i
There is a morphism f∗ : P −→ δi (T (k, 1)) such that ι ◦ π = ν ◦ f∗ . We claim
that the image of f∗ is contained in T (k, l). For this we need the characterisation
of T (k, l) in [6, Lemma 5.7]: this is the largest submodule of T (k, 1) such that all
composition factors are of the form Lx,y with y ≥ l. Recall that f∗ = HomA (G, f )
where
M
f:
Pxω / Radl+i−1 Pxω −→ Soci Qk .
ω∈Ωk

L
The image of f has Loewy length at most i, thus ω∈Ωk Radi Pxω / Radl+i−1 Pxω
i
is mapped to zero, and consequently
M
Radi Pxω / Radl+i−1 Pxω ⊆ Ker f∗ .
HomA G,
ω∈Ωk
i
Using that the projective indecomposable A-modules are rigid, together with Theorem 3.3, this can be rewritten as δl−1 (P ) ⊆ Ker f∗ . Therefore, the image of f∗ is
a quotient of P/δl−1 (P ). From Theorem 3.3, we deduce that Im f∗ has only composition factors of the form Lx,y with y ≥ l. Hence Im f∗ ⊆ T (k, l) by a previous
observation. As a consequence,
Im f∗ ⊆ T (k, l) ∩ δi (T (k, 1)) = δi (T (k, l)) .
Using that δi−1 (N ) = N ∩ δi−1 (M ) for every N and M with N ⊆ M , one
deduces that restriction of ν to δi (T (k, l)) factors through the canonical monic
δ i (T (k, l)) −→ δ i (T (k, 1)). Hence Im(ν ◦ f∗ ) can be embedded in δ i (T (k, l)). Since
ι ◦ π = ν ◦ f∗ , it follows that δ i (T (k, l)) has a submodule isomorphic to U . By the
conclusion of Step 1, we must have δ i (T (k, l)) ∼
= U.
3.3. Proof of Theorem A. We finally prove the main result of this paper.
Theorem A. Suppose that A satisfies LL(Pi ) = LL(Qi ) = L for all i, 1 ≤ i ≤ n.
Moreover, suppose that all projectives Pi and all injectives Qi are rigid. Then
R (RA ) ∼
= (RAop )op .
= SA ∼
The two key ingredients for the proof of Theorem A (Propositions 3.13 and 3.15)
rely on the description of the ∆-semisimple filtration of the tilting modules given
in Theorem 3.12.
Recall that the underlying algebra A is an Artin K-algebra. Therefore the ADR
algebra RA is also an Artin K-algebra, and HomRA (X, Y ) lies in mod K for X and
Y in mod RA .
Proposition 3.13. Suppose that A satisfies LL(Pi ) = LL(Qi ) = L for all i, 1 ≤
i ≤ n, and assume that all projectives Pi and all injectives Qi are rigid. Then the
K-modules HomRA (T (k, l), T (i, j)) and HomRA (δL−l+1 (Qk,L ), δL−j+1 (Qi,L )) have
the same (Jordan–Hölder) length.
THE RINGEL DUAL OF THE ADR ALGEBRA
15
Proof. Denote the length of a module M in mod K by l(M ). We will use the notation in the statement of Theorem 3.12 to describe the socle layers of the injective
indecomposable module Qk .
We start by determining the value of l(HomRA (T (k, l), T (i, j))). Using that the
functor HomRA (−, T (i, j)) preserves exact sequences in F (∆) (see [15, Corollary
4]), together with Theorem 3.12, we deduce that
∆.ssl T (k,l)
l (HomRA (T (k, l) , T (i, j))) =

X
l (HomRA (∆ (xω , l + y − 1) , T (i, j)))

Lemma 3.8 implies that ∆. ssl T (k, l) = L − l + 1. By Theorem 2.5, the module T (i, j) is filtered by the costandard modules ∇ (i, j) , ∇ (i, j + 1) , . . . , ∇ (i, L).
Using again that Ext1RA (F (∆), F (∇)) = 0, we get

In here the second equality will follow from Lemma 3.14, and the third equality
follows by analysing the values taken by the Kronecker delta.
Now we calculate l(HomRA (δL−l+1 (Qk,L ), δL−j+1 (Qi,L ))). Observe that
HomRA (δL−l+1 (Qk,L ) , δL−j+1 (Qi,L ))
= HomRA (HomA (G, SocL−l+1 Qk ) , HomA (G, SocL−j+1 Qi ))
∼
= HomA (SocL−l+1 Qk , SocL−j+1 Qi ) ,
where the first equality follows from Proposition 3.6 and the second identity is due to
the fact that HomA (G, −) is a fully faithful functor. Any map f : SocL−l+1 Qk −→
SocL−j+1 Qi is such that LL(Im f ) ≤ L − j + 1, so f must factor through the largest
quotient of SocL−l+1 Qk whose Loewy length is at most L − j + 1. That is, f factors
16
TERESA CONDE AND KARIN ERDMANN
through the module
SocL−l+1 Qk / RadL−j+1 (SocL−l+1 Qk )
= SocL−l+1 Qk / Socmax{L−l+1−(L−j+1),0} Qk ,
where the equality follows from the rigidity of Qk . So the canonical epic
SocL−l+1 Qk −→ SocL−l+1 Qk / Socmax{j−l,0} Qk
induces an isomorphism of K-modules
HomA SocL−l+1 Qk / Socmax{j−l,0} Qk , SocL−j+1 Qi
∼
= HomA (SocL−l+1 Qk , SocL−j+1 Qi ) .
Notice that both SocL−l+1 Qk / Socmax{j−l,0} Qk and SocL−j+1 Qi are modules over
A/ RadL−j+1 A. In fact, SocL−j+1 Qi is an injective in mod(A/ RadL−j+1 A). Thus
the restriction of HomA (−, SocL−j+1 Qi ) to mod(A/ RadL−j+1 A) yields an exact
functor. Therefore
l (HomRA (δL−l+1 (Qk,L ) , δL−j+1 (Qi,L )))
= l HomA SocL−l+1 Qk / Socmax{j−l,0} Qk , SocL−j+1 Qi

which shows that HomRA (δL−l+1 (Qk,L ), δL−j+1 (Qi,L )) and HomRA (T (k, l), T (i, j))
have the same length over K.
Lemma 3.14. Let (B, Φ, ⊑) be a RUSQ algebra (over K). Then
EndB (∆ (i, j + 1)) ∼
= EndB (∆ (i, j))
= HomB (∆ (i, j + 1) , ∆ (i, j)) ∼
as K-modules. If B is the ADR algebra RA of an Artin algebra A then the modules
above are isomorphic to EndA (Li ).
Proof. Consider the short exact sequence in mod B
0
∆ (i, j + 1)
∆ (i, j)
Li,j
0.
By applying the functor HomB (∆ (i, j + 1) , −) to this exact sequence we deduce
that EndB (∆ (i, j + 1)) ∼
= HomB (∆ (i, j + 1) , ∆ (i, j)). Using HomB (−, ∆ (i, j)),
we get an exact sequence
0
EndB (∆ (i, j))
HomB (∆ (i, j + 1) , ∆ (i, j))
Ext1B (Li,j , ∆ (i, j)) .
Note that Ext1B (Li,j , ∆ (i, j)) = 0. If this was not the case, there would exist a
module M with socle Li,li , having a unique composition factor of type Lx,lx and
satisfying [M : Li,j ] = 2. According to parts 6 and 7 of Theorem 2.5, M would have
THE RINGEL DUAL OF THE ADR ALGEBRA
17
to be a standard module. This cannot happen as [M : Li,j ] = 2. This shows that
the K-modules EndB (∆ (i, j)) and HomB (∆ (i, j + 1) , ∆ (i, j)) are isomorphic.
For the claim about RA , recall that ∆ (i, 1) = HomA (G, Li ). Since the functor
HomA (G, −) is fully faithful, EndRA (∆ (i, 1)) ∼
= EndA (Li ).
By Proposition 3.6, the RA -module T (k, l) is contained in δL−l+1 (Qk,L ). We
will show that the maps in HomRA (δL−l+1 (Qk,L ) , δL−j+1 (Qi,L )) give rise to maps
in HomRA (T (k, l) , T (i, j)) via restriction. This is the final piece needed to prove
Theorem A.
Proposition 3.15. Suppose that A satisfies LL(Pi ) = LL(Qi ) = L for all i, 1 ≤
i ≤ n, and assume that all projectives Pi and all injectives Qi are rigid. Consider
a morphism
f∗ : δL−l+1 (Qk,L ) −→ δL−j+1 (Qi,L ) .
Then f∗ (T (k, l)) ⊆ T (i, j).
Proof. Because HomA (G, −) is a full functor, then f∗ = HomA (G, f ) for a map
f : SocL−l+1 Qk −→ SocL−j+1 Qi in mod A. Note that
Ker f ⊇ RadL−j+1 (SocL−l+1 Qk ) = Socmax{j−l,0} Qk
as Qk is a rigid module. Write z := max{j − l, 0}. Since T (k, l) ⊆ δL−l+1 (Qk,L )
and z ≤ L − l + 1, then
δz (T (k, l)) ⊆ δz (δL−l+1 (Qk,L )) = δz (Qk,L ) .
Observe that,
δz (Qk,L ) = HomA (G, Socz Qk ) ⊆ HomA (G, Ker f ) = Ker f∗ ,
so δz (T (k, l)) is contained in the kernel of f∗ |T (k,l) . In other words, the module
f∗ (T (k, l)) is isomorphic to a quotient of T (k, l)/δz (T (k, l)). Theorem 3.12 implies
that all composition factors of T (k, l)/δz (T (k, l)) are of the form Lx,y , with y ≥
l + z ≥ j. Therefore all composition factors of f∗ (T (k, l)) are of the form Lx,y , with
(x, y) 6⊲ (i, j). By Lemma 5.7 in [6], the module f∗ (T (k, l)) must be contained in
T (i, j).
Proof of Theorem A. Consider the morphism of Artin K-algebras
M
M
δj (Qi,L ) −→ EndRA
ϕ : EndRA
T (i, j) = R (RA ) op ,

According
to Proposition 3.15, ϕ is well defined.
j=1
Moreover, if g 6= 0 then ϕ(g) 6= 0, as the modules δL−j+1 (Qi,L ) have simple socle.
So ϕ is an injective morphism of K-algebras, and in particular, a monomorphism
of modules in mod K. Proposition 3.13 implies that ϕ is a bijection.
As δj (Qi,L ) = HomA (G, Socj Qi ), then

Remark 3.16. Note that the class of connected selfinjective algebras with radical
cube zero but radical square nonzero satisfies the conditions of Theorem A. This
class contains several important examples and was studied in [13].
Remark 3.17. Let A be an Artin algebra satisfying A ∼
= Aop . Suppose further that
A has rigid projectives and injectives, and assume they all have the same Loewy
length. Then, by Theorem A
(3)
R (RA ) ∼
= (RA ) op .
= (RAop ) op ∼
= SA ∼
In particular, the identity (3) holds when A is a block of weight 1 of a symmetric
group algebra. According to [17], blocks of symmetric group algebras of weight 2
must also satisfy the identity (3) when the base field has characteristic p > 2.
Take any group algebra KG where G is a finite p-group and K is a field of
characteristic p. In this setting, KG is a local symmetric algebra, and the only projective indecomposable KG-module is rigid: this follows from Jennings’ Theorem
(see [14], and also Theorem 3.14.6 and Corollary 3.14.7 in [3]). Thus, the identity
(3) holds for A = KG.
Finally, note that (3) also holds when A is a preprojective algebra of type An .
4. Cartan matrices and multiplicities
In this section we describe and compare the Cartan matrices of the algebras RA ,
R (RA ) and SA . Our ultimate goal is to demonstrate that the assumptions in the
statement of Theorem A are, in a certain sense, the minimal requirements for this
result to hold.
To make our arguments simpler, we will work, throughout this section, with
finite-dimensional K-algebras A satisfying dim EndA (L) = 1 for every simple module L. We start by setting some notation.
If M is a module, we write [M ] for its image in the Grothendieck group G0 (A).
Recall that a complete list of pairwise nonisomorphic simple A-modules Li , with
i = 1, . . . , n, gives rise to the Z-basis {[Li ] : i = 1, . . . , n} of G0 (A).
The Cartan matrix of A will be denoted by C(A). This is the n×n matrix whose
column with label j has the composition factors of the projective Pj . Here the
integer n corresponds to the number of isomorphism classes of simple A-modules.
The entry ij of C(A) is given by [Pj : Li ].
Due to our assumptions about the simple A-modules, we have that [Pj : Li ] =
[Qi : Lj ], so the composition factors of the injective incomposable A-module Qi are
recorded in the ith row of C(A).
Using Lemma 3.14, our assumptions about A, and basic properties of quasihereditary algebras, it is not difficult to conclude that the ADR algebra RA of
A still satisfies dim EndRA (Li,j ) = 1 for every (i, j) in Λ. By similar arguments,
the corresponding algebras R (RA ) and SA also satisfy the respective condition on
simple modules.
4.1. The Cartan matrix of RA . The column of C(RA ) associated with the label
(k, l) encodes the composition factors of the projective Pk,l , whereas the row with
label (i, j) describes the composition factors of Qi,j .
THE RINGEL DUAL OF THE ADR ALGEBRA

4.1.1. Projective RA -modules. Each Pk,l is filtered by standard modules. According
to Theorem 3.3, the multiplicity of ∆ (i, j) in Pk,l corresponds to the multiplicity
of the simple A-module Li in the j th socle layer of Pk / Radl Pk . That is,
(Pk,l : ∆ (i, j)) = [Socj (Pk / Radl Pk ) : Li ].
We know the composition factors of the modules ∆ (i, j) (these are Li,j , . . . Li,li ).
Hence the Cartan matrix C(RA ) is completely determined by the socle series of the
radical quotients of the projective A-modules.
The converse of the previous statement is also true: the socle quotients of
Pk / Radl Pk can be read off from the Cartan matrix of RA . To see this, note
that [Pk,l : Li,j ] counts the number of factors ∆ (i, y), 1 ≤ y ≤ j, in a ∆-filtration
of Pk,l . Therefore,
(4)
[Pk,l : Li,j ] − [Pk,l : Li,j−1 ] = (Pk,l : ∆ (i, j)) = [Socj (Pk / Radl Pk ) : Li ],
for j > 1. We also deduce the following identity
(5)
[Pk,l : Li,j ] =
j
X
(Pk,l : ∆ (i, y)) = [Socj (Pk / Radl Pk ) : Li ].
y=1
4.1.2. Injective RA -modules. By parts 4 and 5 of Theorem 2.5, Qi,j has a ∇filtration with quotients ∇(i, y) for 1 ≤ y ≤ j, each of these occurring exactly
once. Therefore, the composition factors of the costandard RA -modules can be
totally described in terms of the rows of C(RA ). Namely,
[Qi,1 ] =[∇(i, 1)]
[Qi,2 ] =[∇(i, 1)] + [∇(i, 2)]
..
.
[Qi,li ] =[∇(i, 1)] + [∇(i, 2)] + · · · + [∇(i, li )].
Lemma 4.1. We have that
[∇ (i, j)] = [Qi,j ] − [Qi,j−1 ]
for 1 < j ≤ li and [Qi,1 ] = [∇(i, 1)], that is, for j > 1, the composition factors
of ∇ (i, j) can be computed by subtracting the row (i, j − 1) from the row (i, j) of
C(RA ).
We can also describe the composition factors of the tilting RA -modules T (i, j)
using the Cartan matrix of RA . By part 5 of Theorem 2.5,
[T (i, j)] = [Qi,li ] − [Qi,j−1 ].
That is, one can compute the composition factors of T (i, j) by taking the difference
of two rows in C(RA ).
4.2. The Cartan matrix of R (RA ). The Cartan matrix C(R (RA )) of R (RA )
has entries

dim HomRA (T (i, j) , T (k, 1)) = dim HomRA (T (i, j) , Qk,lk ) = [T (i, j) : Lk,lk ].
20
TERESA CONDE AND KARIN ERDMANN
Using that Ext1RA (F (∆) , F (∇)) vanishes, together with Theorem 2.5, we deduce
that
dim HomRA (T (i, j) , T (k, l))
= dim HomRA (T (i, j) , Qk,lk ) − dim HomRA (T (i, j) , Qk,l−1 )
= [T (i, j) : Lk,lk ] − [T (i, j) : Lk,l−1 ]
for l > 1. That is, the entries of C(R(RA )) are given by
′
[Pk,l
: L′i,j ] = [T (i, j) : Lk,lk ] − [T (i, j) : Lk,l−1 ]
for l > 1. The identity Qi,j−1 ∼
= Qi,li /T (i, j) implies the following result.
Corollary 4.2. We have
′
(7) [Pk,l
: L′i,j ] = [Qi,li : Lk,lk ] − [Qi,j−1 : Lk,lk ] − [Qi,li : Lk,l−1 ] + [Qi,j−1 : Lk,l−1 ],
where Qi,0 := 0 and [N : Lk,0 ] := 0 for N in mod R(RA ). In particular, the Cartan
matrix of R (RA ) is determined by the Cartan matrix of RA .
Remark 4.3. The result above can be stated more generally for RUSQ (and dually
for LUSQ) algebras. In fact, if B is a RUSQ algebra satisfying dim EndB (L) = 1
for every simple module L, then the Cartan matrix of R(B) is determined by the
Cartan matrix of B via the formula in (7). To deduce that the Cartan matrix of
R(B) is determined by the Cartan matrix of B for B a LUSQ algebra, note that:
B op is RUSQ, C(B op ) = C(B)T and R (B op ) ∼
= R (B) op .
4.3. The Cartan matrix of SA . The Cartan matrix of SA has entries

Observe that
HomA (Socj Qi , Socl Qk ) ∼

and Socl Qk is an injective indecomposable A/ Radk A-module. Therefore, we have
the following formula:
(8)
SA
[Pk,l
: LSi,jA ] = [Socj Qi / Radl (Socj Qi ) : Lk ].
4.4. Comparing C(R(RA )) with C(SA ). In Subsection 3.1, we have looked at
some facts hinting at a relationship between the quasihereditary algebras
(R(RA ), Λ, ✂op )
and (SA , ΛAop , ✂Aop ).
In particular, we have seen that it would be reasonable to require that LL(Pi ) =
LL(Qi ) = li for all i, in order to have an isomorphism between R(RA ) and SA .
This requirement would at least assure that |Λ| = |ΛAop |. We have also seen that it
′
would be natural to map an idempotent ξ(i,j)
in R(RA ) associated with the label
(i, j) to an idempotent ε[i,li −j+1] in SA associated with the label [i, li − j + 1].
For this correspondence to yield an isomorphism, the numbers

should coincide. That is, the entry (i, j)(k, l) of C(R(RA )) must match with the
entry [i, li − j + 1][k, lk − l + 1] of C(SA ) for every i,k,j and l.
Our aim is to show that the assumptions in the statement of Theorem A are
somehow minimal. For this, consider the conditions:
THE RINGEL DUAL OF THE ADR ALGEBRA
21
(B1): LL(Pi ) = LL(Qi ) = li for all 1 ≤ i ≤ n;
SA
′
(B2): [Pk,l
: L′i,j ] = [Pk,l
: LSi,lAi −j+1 ] for all 1 ≤ i, k ≤ n, 1 ≤ j ≤ li and
k −l+1
1 ≤ l ≤ lk .
We wish to prove the following result.
Theorem B. Let A be a finite-dimensional connected K-algebra. Suppose that
dim EndA (Li ) = 1 for every i, and assume that (B1) and (B2) hold. Then:
(1) all the Loewy lengths li are the same (i.e. li = lk for all i and k);
(2) each projective Pi is rigid;
(3) each injective Qi is rigid.
We prove this theorem in a number of steps.
Lemma 4.4. Assume (B1) and (B2). Then for all i we have
T (i, li ) = ∆ (i, li ) = ∇ (i, li ) = Li,li .
Proof. According to part 5 of Theorem 2.5, we have T (i, li ) = ∇ (i, li ). We want
to show that ∇ (i, li ) is a simple module. Note that [∇(i, li ) : Li,j ] = 0 for j 6= li ,
as (i, li ) ✁ (i, j) for j 6= li . If the module T (i, li ) = ∇ (i, li ) is not simple, then it
has some factor ∆ (k, l) for k 6= i. That is, HomA (T (i, li ), T (k, l)) 6= 0 for some
k 6= i. By (6), (B2) and (8), we have then that Lk occurs in Soc1 Qi , which is a
contradiction because i 6= k.
The next proposition will be crucial in the proof of part 1 of Theorem B.
Proposition 4.5. Assume that (B1) and (B2) hold for A and suppose that i 6= k.
If Ext1A (Li , Lk ) 6= 0 then lk ≤ li .
Proof. By assumption, we must have
[Soc2 Qk / Rad(Soc2 Qk ) : Li ] 6= 0.
Using (8), (B2) and (6), we deduce that
HomRA (T (k, lk − 1), T (i, li )) 6= 0.
From Lemma 4.4, it follows that [T (k, lk − 1) : Li,li ] 6= 0. Parts 4 and 5 of Theorem
2.5 imply that either [T (k, lk ) : Li,li ] 6= 0, or [T (k, lk − 1)/T (k, lk ) : Li,li ] 6= 0,
where the quotient T (k, lk − 1)/T (k, lk ) is isomorphic to ∇(k, lk − 1). Using that
i 6= k, together with Lemma 4.4, we conclude that [T (k, lk ) : Li,li ] = 0. Thus
[∇(k, lk − 1) : Li,li ] 6= 0. As a consequence, (Pi,li : ∆(k, lk − 1)) 6= 0, using Brauer–
Humphreys reciprocity for quasihereditary algebras (see [11, Lemma 2.5]). The
identity (4) implies that [Soclk −1 Pi : Lk ] 6= 0. So Pi has Loewy length at least
lk − 1. In fact, as i 6= k, one deduces that li > lk − 1, or equivalently lk ≤ li .
A key argument in proof of Theorem B is the fact that the conditions (B1) and
(B2) are ‘symmetric’. We give an informal explanation for this phenomenon. The
axioms (B1) and (B2) are saying that C(R(RA )) and C(SA ) coincide (up to a
suitable simultaneous permutation of rows and columns). As explained in Remark
4.3, the matrix C(R(B)) is determined by C(B) when B is a LUSQ algebra. So the
Cartan matrices of the algebras R(R(RA )) ∼
= RA and R(SA ) should still coincide
when (B1) and (B2) hold for A. Recall the discussion in Subsection 3.1. Note that
RA ∼
= R(RAop )op ,
= R((RAop )op ) ∼
= (SAop )op and R(SA ) ∼
22
TERESA CONDE AND KARIN ERDMANN
therefore C(SAop ) = C(RA )T and C(R(RAop )) = C(R(SA ))T . It seems then natural that (B1) and (B2) hold for the underlying algebra A if and only if (B1) and
(B2) hold for Aop .
Lemma 4.6. Let A be a finite-dimensional K-algebra, and let dim EndA (Li ) =
1 for every i. Assume that (B1) and (B2) hold for A. Then Aop is a finiteop
) = 1 for every i. Moreover, the
dimensional K-algebra satisfying dim EndAop (LA

conditions (B1) and (B2) hold for Aop .
Proof. The first part of the statement of the lemma is evident. It is also clear that
Aop satisfies (B1). We show that (B2) holds for Aop . Using Corollary 4.2, duality,
and condition (B2) for A, we get

This concludes the proof of the proposition.
Corollary 4.7. Assume that (B1) and (B2) hold for A and suppose that i 6= k. If
Ext1A (Li , Lk ) 6= 0 then lk = li .
Proof. The inequality lk ≤ li follows by applying Proposition 4.5 to A. According to Lemma 4.6, (B1) and (B2) also hold for Aop . Moreover, note that
op
Aop
Ext1Aop (LA
) 6= 0. The inequality li ≤ lk then follows by applying Proposik , Li
tion 4.5 to Aop .
We finally prove Theorem B.
Proof of Theorem B. We start by showing that all li must be equal. For every
distinct i and k in {1, . . . , n} there exists a sequence (i1 , . . . , im ) with i1 = i, im = k
and 1 ≤ ix ≤ n, satisfying the following property: for each 1 ≤ x < m, either
Ext1A (Lix , Lix+1 ) 6= 0 or Ext1A (Lix+1 , Lix ) 6= 0. Part 1 is then an easy consequence
of Corollary 4.7.
Let now L be the common Loewy length of all projectives and injectives. Note
that
′
[Pk,1
: L′i,j ] = [Qi,L : Lk,L ] − [Qi,j−1 : Lk,L ]
= [Pk,L : Li,L ] − [Pk,L : Li,j−1 ]
= [SocL (Pk / RadL Pk )/ Socj−1 (Pk / RadL Pk ) : Li ]
= [Pk / Socj−1 Pk : Li ].
THE RINGEL DUAL OF THE ADR ALGEBRA
23
Here, we have used Corollary 4.2, duality, and the identity in (5). Similarly,
SA
A
[Pk,L
: LSi,L−j+1
] = [SocL−j+1 Qi : Lk ]
= [Pk / RadL−j+1 Pk : Li ],
where the first equality follows from (8), and the second equality follows by duality for A/ RadL−j+1 A. By (B2), the multiplicities [Pk / Socj−1 Pk : Li ] and
[Pk / RadL−j+1 Pk : Li ] coincide for every i, k and j. As a consequence, the modules Socj−1 Pk and RadL−j+1 Pk must have the same Jordan-Hölder length. Since
RadL−j+1 Pk is contained in Socj−1 Pk , then these modules are actually equal.
Therefore Pk is a rigid module for every k.
Observe that Aop is a finite-dimensional connected K-algebra. Moreover, Aop
op
) = 1 for every i. According to Corollary 4.7, Aop also
satisfies dim EndAop (LA
i
satisfies axioms (B1) and (B2). Thus, by the previous, the projective Aop -modules
op
PkA = D(Qk ) must be rigid. As a consequence, every injective indecomposable
A-module is rigid.
5. Ringel selfdual ADR algebras
We wish to characterise Ringel selfdual ADR algebras. First, the notion of Ringel
selfduality must be rigorously defined. We say that two quasihereditary algebras
(B, Φ, ⊑) and (C, Ψ, 4) are equivalent if the respective categories F (∆) and F (∆C )
are equivalent. A quasihereditary algebra (B, Φ, ⊑) is Ringel selfdual if the algebras
(B, Φ, ⊑) and (R(B), Φ, ⊑ op ) are equivalent.
It is not unusual for a quasiherederitary algebra (B, Φ, ⊑) to be Ringel selfdual.
This phenomenon is frequently observed in quasihereditary algebras and highest
weight categories arising from the theory of semisimple Lie algebras and algebraic
groups. Therefore, it is natural to ask which quasihereditary algebras are Ringel
selfdual.
As pointed out in [16, Appendix, A.2], if (B, Φ, ⊑) is both right and left strongly
quasihereditary, then B has global dimension at most 2. For this reason, one should
not expect that right strongly quasihereditary algebras are often Ringel selfdual.
In particular, one should not expect that RA is Ringel selfdual. We give necessary
and sufficient conditions for an ADR algebra to be Ringel selfdual.
Theorem C. The algebra (RA , Λ, ✂) is Ringel selfdual if and only if A is a selfinjective Nakayama algebra.
Proof. If RA is Ringel selfdual, then the indecomposable tilting modules over RA
must coincide with the indecomposable tilting modules over R(RA ).
The RA -modules Pi,1 , i = 1. . . . , n, form a complete list of projective indecomposable modules isomorphic to a standard module (see [6], Propositions 3.1 and
3.4).
′ ∼
Consider now the Ringel dual R(RA ) of RA . By Theorem 2.6, Pi,1
= T ′ (i, li )
′
has a unique ∆ -filtration, given by

i
form a complete list of projective modules isomorphic to a standard module. By
the previous observation about the algebra RA , there must be a bijective correspondence between the labels (i, 1) in mod RA and the labels (k, lk ) in mod R(RA ).
24
TERESA CONDE AND KARIN ERDMANN
Consequently, each tilting RA -module T (i, 1) = Qi,li must correspond bijectively
′
to some tilting R(RA )-module of the form T ′ (k, lk ) = Pk,1
. By the involutive
properties of the Ringel duality (see the proof of Theorem 6 and Lemma 7 in [15]),
′
coincides then with some
each projective R(RA )-module HomRA (T, T (k, 1)) ∼
= Pk,1
′
′
projective RA -module HomR(RA ) (T , T (x, lx )) ∼
= Px,lx . Therefore, each injective
RA -module Qi,li is isomorphic to some projective RA -module of type Px,lx . By
definition, we have Px,lx = HomA (G, Px ), and by Theorem 2.4, Qi,li is isomorphic
to HomA (G, Qi ). Since the functor HomA (G, −) is fully faithful, it follows that
Qi ∼
= Px . Thus, A must be a selfinjective algebra.
According to previous observations we also know that gl. dim RA ≤ 2. Therefore,
Rad A lies in add G by Proposition 2 in [18]. Since A is selfinjective, the property
Rad A ∈ add G implies that the projective(-injective) indecomposable A-modules
are uniserial. So A is a selfinjective Nakayama algebra.
The converse is a well-known result, and a proof can be found in [20]. Alternatively, note that every connected selfinjective Nakayama algebra A satisfies the
assumptions in the statement of Theorem A, hence we have a structure-preserving
isomorphism between R(RA ) and SA . Now observe that SA ∼
= RA as A is a
selfinjective Nakayama algebra. Thus, the ADR algebra of a connected selfinjective Nakayama algebra is Ringel selfdual. Note that ADR algebras and Ringel
duals are well behaved with respect to the direct product of algebras, that is
RA1 ×A2 ∼
= R(B1 ) × R(B2 ). Using that an arbi= RA1 × RA2 and R(B1 × B2 ) ∼
trary selfinjective Nakayama algebra is the direct product of connected selfinjective
Nakayama algebras, we deduce that the ADR algebra of a selfinjective Nakayama
algebra is Ringel selfdual.
Remark 5.1. Note that if A is a Nakayama algebra, then the ADR algebra of A
coincides with its Auslander algebra.
