1 Introduction
The tilting theory plays an important role in the study of representation theory. In particular, the tilting modules induced by simple modules are of crucial significance in tilting theory. For example, the endomorphism algebra of the APR tilting module realizes the action of the BGP reflection on the quiver [
1]. The BGP reflection clearly describes the mutation of the quiver and plays a vital role in the study of classical representation theory. The
n-APR tilting module was recently introduced by Iyama and Oppermann, which generalized the classical APR tilting module to higher dimensions. It plays an important role in the higher-dimensional Auslander-Reiten theory [
12]. For instance, the
n-APR tilting modules preserve many important invariants such as
n- for finiteness and
n- for infiniteness [
14-
16]. Inspired by classical APR-tilting modules [
4], we are highly interested in the following question:
Can the endomorphism algebra of the n-APR tilting module realize an action similar to that of the BGP reflection on the quiver?
Given a finite quiver Q, the translation quiver ZQ with translation τ plays a crucial role in realizing the BGP reflection. The quiver of the endomorphism algebra of the APR tilting module induced by a sink i of Q (i.e., the BGP reflection) can be realized in the translation quiver ZQ: consider Q as , and then replace with its translation ; the full sub-quiver of ZQ obtained in this way is the quiver of the endomorphism algebra of the APR tilting module.
Recently, Guo [
6-
10] generalized the classical translation quiver
ZQ with translation
τ to the admissible
n-translation quiver with translation
τ[n], and defined the stable
n-translation quiver
of the admissible
n-translation quiver through the smash product. The classical translation quiver
ZQ with translation
τ can be regarded as the case when
. Guo [
8] observed a profound connection between the admissible
n-translation algebras and Iyama's higher-dimensional representation theory. In addition, it is noted that Mizuno [
15] has recently characterized the quiver of the endomorphism algebra of the
n-APR tilting module. In this paper, considering the admissible
n-translation algebras and Mizuno's characterization of the quiver of the endomorphism algebra in the
n-APR tilting module, we investigate the action of the “higher-dimensional” BGP reflection on the quiver. The following shows the main results of this paper.
Theorem 1.1 Let be a finite-dimensional basic Koszul algebra with global dimension n ≥ 2. Let a ∈ Q0 be a sink of the Q and it induces the n-APR tilting module Ta.
If the Koszul dual of is an admissible -translation algebra, then the n-APR tilt of with respect to the point a is the τ[n]-mutation of with respect to a.
In Section 2, some basic knowledge is introduced. In Section 3, the connection between the
n-APR tilting module and
τ[n]-mutation is discussed, and the main theorems of this paper are proved. In Section 4, the
n-cubic pyramid algebra is used to illustrate Theorem 1.1 of this paper. The
n-cubic pyramid algebra was recently introduced by Guo Jinyun and the first author of this paper. For relevant definitions and more information, please refer to [

2 Preliminaries
In this paper, unless otherwise emphasized, it is always assumed that the algebra
is a finite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field
k, and

-modules. For a finitely-generated left
-module

M as a full sub-category of mod
, whose objects are all the direct summands of finite direct sums of
M. Denote (-)* as the functor

In 2011, Iyama and Oppermann [
12] introduced the
n-APR tilting module, which generalizes the classical APR tilting module [
1] to higher dimensions.
Definition 2.1 [
11, Definition 3.1] Let
be a finite-dimensional
k-algebra, and
a be a sink of
Q, and
P(
a) be the simple projective
-module corresponding to the vertex
a,
. If id
P(a) =
n and
,
, then
is called an
n-APR tilting module of
, and
is called the
n-APR tilt of
. Here,
.
The
n-APR tilting module is a tilting module with projective dimension
n [
11, Theorem 3.2]. In particular, the 1-APR tilting module is the APR tilting module. Mizuno characterizes the quiver of the endomorphism algebra of the
n-APR tilting module of an algebra with global dimension
n [
14, Proposition 6.55]. The method is as follows: Take the minimal injective resolution of
According to [
11, Theorem 3.2], there is a minimal projective resolution of
where , , , , and since is a simple projective -module, there is . Decompose Pn-1 and Pn into direct sums of indecomposable projective -modules, and denote them as and respectively. Denote the homomorphism α as , where is the right-multiplication map from to. Define a new set of arrow directions . Define a new bound quiver :
• Vertex set: ;
• Arrow direction set:
• Relation set
Proposition 2.1 [
14, Proposition 6.55]
Let be a finite-dimensional k-algebra, where ρ is its minimal relation set. Suppose is a sink such that is an n-APR tilting module of . Let . Then there exists an isomorphism , and here ρ′ is the minimal relation set of the bound quiver of .
3 τ[n]-mutation and n-APR tilting
This section will present the proof of the main Theorem 1.1.
First, some necessary concepts are provided.
For a given finite-dimensional basic algebra
, by Gabriel's theorem, there exists a quiver
Q and a set of relations
ρ such that
. (
Q,
ρ) is called the bound quiver of
. Let
, such that
, then it is called a graded algebra. In the following context, unless otherwise emphasized,
always refers to a finite-dimensional graded algebra whose bound quiver is (
Q,
ρ). Suppose there is a one-to-one correspondence
defined on two subsets
of
Q0, and the bound quiver (
Q,
ρ) satisfies the following four conditions, then
Q is called an
n-translation quiver, denoted by
, and
is called the
n-translation of
Q [
8]:
(1) For any vertex i in QP, there exists a bound path of length n + 1 from to i; the length of the longest bound path is n + 1, and for any bound path p of length n + 1, there exists , such that .
(2) For any , any two bound paths of length n + 1 from to i are linearly dependent.
(3) For any , let be a linear combination of bound paths ps of length from j to i. Then there exists a path q of length from to j, such that uq is nonzero in .
(4) For any , let be a linear combination of bound paths ps of length from i to j. Then there exists a path q of length from j to , such that qu is nonzero in .
The vertices in Q0\QP and Q0\QI are called projective vertices and injective vertices respectively. A graded algebra is called an n-pretranslation algebra if its bound quiver is an n-translation quiver. An n-translation quiver is called a stable n-translation quiver if , and the corresponding bound path algebra is called a stable n-pretranslation algebra.
Let be an n-translation quiver and p be a bound path from i to j. If any bound path of length l(p) from i to j is linearly related to p, then p is called:
(1) t-th left stark with respect to the vertex i′, and if for any bound path w of length from i′ to i, pw is a bound path.
(2) t-th right stark with respect to the vertex j′, and if for any bound path u of length from j to j′, up is a bound path.
Let be an n-translation quiver, bound path p is called:
(1) Right (left) translatable, and if p can be written as a linear combination of bound paths in that do not pass through any projective (injective) vertices.
(2) Semi-translatable, and if p can be written as a linear combination of paths in the form p′p′′ in , where p′′ is a bound path that does not pass through any injective vertices and p′ is a bound path that does not pass through any projective vertices.
(3) Translatable, and if p is either left translatable, or right translatable, or semi-translatable.
An n-translation quiver Q is called admissible if it also satisfies the following three conditions:
(1) For each bound path g, there exist paths q′ and q, such that q′gq is a bound path of length ;
(2) Any bound path from to is linearly related to a set of translatable bound paths;
(3) Let , p be a bound path ending at i, and q be a bound path starting from , such that . If p passes through a projective vertex and q passes through an injective vertex, then either p is a th left stark with respect to t(q) or q is a th right stark with respect to s(p).
Let
be a Koszul algebra and the bound quiver of its Koszul dual
be an admissible
-translation quiver. Denote its
-translation by
, the set of projective vertices of
as
P, and the set of injective vertices as
I. Denote the trivial extension of
and the bound quiver of the trivial extension as
and
, respectively. According to [
8, Proposition 4.2], there are
(1) and ;
(2) ;
(3) is a stable n-pretranslation algebra and the n-translation is trivial.
Based on [
8], the quiver of smash product
is
:
• Vertex set:
• Arrow direction set:
• Relation set:
For any path in Q, denote , and for a linear combination of paths in Q, denote , and also denote
If i is a sink of the quiver Q, define the τ[n]-mutation of (Q, p) with respect to i as the bound full sub-quiver of the quiver of the Koszul dual of . Its vertex set is (that is, replace (i, l) with its n-translation ). More precisely:
• Vertex set:
• Arrow direction set: ;
• Relation Set:
Here, the bound path algebra of is called the τ[n]-mutation with respect to i.
Dually, if j is a source of the quiver Q, define the co-τ[n]-mutation of (Q, ρ) with respect to j as the bound sub-quiver of the quiver of the Koszul dual of . Its vertex set is (replace (j, 1) with its inverse n-translation ). Here, the bound path algebra of is called the co-τ[n]-mutation of with respect to j.
Proof of Theorem 1.1 According to [
3],
op,
!,
are all Koszul algebras,
(see [
13]). According to the properties of the Koszul complex [
3, p. 485], the left simple
op-module
corresponding to the source vertex
a of
Qop has the following minimal projective resolution:
Therefore, there is a minimal injective resolution of the left simple -module corresponding to the sink a of Q.
As a left -module, there is the following isomorphism:
and
Hence, the injective resolution mentioned above can be written as
With the proof [
11, Theorem 3.2], minimal projective resolution of left
-module
is
From Proposition 2.1, the quiver of is
• Vertex set:
• Arrow direction set:
• Relation set:
By Comparing , it can be seen that it is the same bound quiver as . □
Note In fact, as can be seen from the proofs of the theorems mentioned above, the condition “admissible” in the theorem is only used in the last sentence. However, the characterization of its quiver does not use the “admissible” condition.

As shown in [
9], the
n-representation finite
-Auslander algebra
is the Koszul dual of the bound path algebra
kQ(
n)/(
ρ(
n)) corresponding to (
Q(
n),
ρ(
n)), and (
Q(
n),
ρ(
n)) is an admissible
-translation quiver. From the last sentence of the proof of [9, Theorem 4.5] and [
5], it is known that
is an almost Koszul algebra of type (
,
n), but its global dimension of
is
n (see [
11]). Thus,
is a Koszul algebra, and its unique sink
induces an
n-APR tilting module [
12]. Therefore,
satisfies the conditions of Theorem 1.1, and there are:
Corollary 4.1 For any , let Ta be the n-APR tilting module induced by the unique sink of . Then is the τ[n]-mutation of with respect to a.
Example 4.1 Take m = 4, n = 2, then is the following quiver:
From [
8, Proposition 4.2], the trivial extension quiver of
is
.
And .
Then is
Here, . Then the 2-APR tilt of with respect to vertex (14) is a τ[2]-mutation of , and its bound quiver is
The relation set is (see Theorem 1.1). It is noticed that τ[2](141) = (140). Therefore, it is the bound full sub-quiver obtained from by replacing (141) in with τ[2] (141).
