On the type of a category of complexes of fixed size and the strong global dimension

Abstract

We prove that if the strong global dimension η of an algebra A is finite, then Cη+ 1(proj A) is of finite type if and only if for each n ≥ 2, Cn(projA) is of finite type. Moreover, we also prove some implications in order to know if for some positive integer is Cn(projA) of infinite type. We determine the strong global dimension of some piecewise hereditary finite dimensional algebras taking into account their ordinary quivers with relations.
