A geometric model for the module category of a gentle algebra
One of the problems in representation theory is to understand the structure of the module category of an algebra. Gentle algebras are a class of algebras of tame representation type, meaning it is often possible to get a global understanding of their representation theory.
In this talk, we will show how to encode the module category of a gentle algebra using combinatorics of a surface. This is joint work with Karin Baur (Graz).
