1. Introduction
Throughout the paper, denotes an algebraically closed field. All algebra will be finite dimensional basic associative -algebra. Using Gabriel’s theorem we will assume all algebras to be of the form , where is a finite quiver and is an admissible ideal. All modules will be finite dimensional right module.
An algebra can be considered as a small -category where of objects are the vertices of the quiver, given two vertices , the set of homomorphism from to is the -vector space , composition is multiplication in . So we can talk about subcategories, etc…
Incidence algebras were introduced in the mid-1960s as a natural way of studying some combinatorial problems. In the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras, the incidence algebras have been the subject of many investigations (see, for instance, [26], [32], [3] and [2]). We will focus the study on incidence algebras associated with a finite poset over . We remark that is the isomorphic to the algebra , where the quiver is the Hasse diagram and is the ideal generated by all commuting relations, i.e. the difference of any pair of parallel paths are in .
Our purpose is to study incidence algebras which are piecewise hereditary, we call them PHI algebras, piecewise hereditary incidence algebras. We investigate the strong global dimension, the simply conectedeness and the one-point extension algebras of PHI algebras.
The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 is devoted to fixing the notation and briefly recalling the necessary concepts and results about incidence algebras and piecewise hereditary algebras. Section 3 is dedicated to study the simply conectedeness of PHI algebras in order to solve the so called Skowroński problem:
Is simply connected if and only if ?
Let and be an abelian categories. In this paper the notation means that is derived equivalently to , that is and are equivalent as triangulated categories, we also use the notation for the category , where denotes the category of finitely generated modules over a finite dimensional algebra .
For PHI algebras we show that the answer for Skowrońsky’s question is positive if the PHI algebra is not of the quiver type for a wild quiver. We conjecture that the restrictive hypothesis on the former statements is not necessary.
Theorem**.**
Let be a PHI algebra that is not of wild-quiver type. Then , if and only if the algebra is simply connected.
Section 4 is dedicated to the study of the global dimension of PHI algebras. In particular, we show that the representation-finite PHI algebras have global dimension less or equal to two.
Skowroński, Happel and Zacharia have introduced a new homological notion called the strong global dimension. Let be an algebra. The strong global dimension of , , is defined to be the maximum of the width of indecomposable, minimal complexes in . We use an alternative definition of the strong global dimension [1]. In [24], O. Kerner, A. Skowroński, K. Yamagata and D. Zacharia proved that the strong global dimension of a finite dimensional radical square zero algebra over an algebraically closed field is finite if and only if is piecewise hereditary. Later in [21] Happel and Zacharia generalized the result showing that an algebras has finite strong global dimension if and only if it is piecewise hereditary. In section 5 we determine an upper bound of the strong global dimension for sincere algebras piecewise hereditary algebras.
Theorem**.**
The strong global dimension of any sincere and piecewise hereditary algebra is at most three.
We apply this result for PHI algebras and get the following corollary.
Corollary**.**
The strong global dimension of any PHI algebra is less or equal than .
Usually the PHI algebras are not of global dimension two, so this gives a large class of examples of algebras which have global dimension equal strong global dimension. In general it is hard to find classes of algebras where these two invariants are equal.
Let be a set of positive integers and let be a weighted projective line of type , in the sense of [15]. Let be the category of coherent sheaves on . For the PHI algebras , in Section 6 we study the canonical sincere -module and the one-point extension algebra . Let a representation-infinite quasi-tilted of domestic-sheaf type. We show that the canonical sincere -module is exceptional. We conjecture that this module is always excepcional in the case of PHI algebras. This condition is necessary to create new PHI algebras of wild type as one-point extension algebra .
2. Preliminaries
In this Section, for the sake of completeness, we will recall some definitions. The reader should see the references for more detail.
We begin with the definition of incidence algebras. There are several equivalent ways of defining incidence algebras of finite posets, we give one of them below.
Definition 2.1** (incidence algebra).**
Let be a poset with elements. The incidence algebra is a quotient of the path algebra of the following quiver . The set of vertices, , is in bijection with the elements of the poset and the set of arrows is defining by declaring that there is an arrow from a vertex to a vertex , whenever and there is no , with and . Let be the ideal generated by all commutativity relations , with and parallel paths. The incidence algebra is .
The quiver of the incidence algebra, in the former definition, is also called the Hasse quiver of the poset.
We are going to assume always that our incidence algebras are connected, that is the Hasse quiver is connected.
For more details in the subject of incidence algebras we refer to [31] and [7].
We want to define next the notion of piecewise hereditary algebras. In order to do this we need to introduce, very briefly, some previous notions.
Given an abelian category we denote its bounded derived category, as usual if is a -algebra then denotes the bounded derived category of .
An abelian category is called hereditary if the extension groups are zero for all for any pair of objects and of .
Remark 2.2*.*
All hereditary categories considered in this paper have splitting idempotents, finite dimension spaces, and tilting object. See below the definition of tilting object.
Definition 2.3** (piecewise hereditary algebra).**
We say that is piecewise hereditary algebra of type if there exists a hereditary abelian category , with splitting idempotents, finite dimension spaces, such that is triangle-equivalent to the bounded derived category .
For more details in the subject of piecewise hereditary algebra we refer to [18], [9], [19], [17], [25], [28], [30], [5], [6], [23], [22], [27] and [1].
The definition of tilting modules inspired the definition of tilting object that follows:
Definition 2.4** (tilting object).**
Let be a hereditary abelian -category. An object is called tilting if
- i)
, and 2. ii)
for every the condition implies that .
Let piecewise hereditary algebra of type . It follows from Rickard’s theorem [33], the existence of a tilting object in such that .
Given a sequence of positive integers, , will denote the weighted projective line of type , in the sense of [15], and the category of coherent sheaves over . Let be a finite, connected quiver without oriented cycles and let denote the path algebra of . We state one of the most important theorems about piecewise hereditary algebras.
Theorem 2.5** (Happel [17]).**
Let be an abelian hereditary connected -category with tilting object. Then is derived equivalent to or derived equivalent to for some weighted projective line .
An algebra is called a piecewise hereditary algebras of quiver type (or of type ) or of sheaf type if for some quiver or for some weighted projective line , respectively.
Observe that an algebra can be, at the same time, of quiver and sheaf type.
3. Simply connectedness
In 1993, in the article [36], Skowroński proposed the following:
Describe classes of algebras for which is it true that if an algebra is in one of these classes then it is simply connected if and only if ?
Given a -algebra we recall the definition of the first Hochschild cohomology group of . This can also be done via a complex, defined by Hochschild, where all the cohomology groups are defined at the same time, but since we need only the first group, we decided to give an ad hoc definition.
Let a -algebra then a derivation of is a -linear endomorphism of , such that , for all pair of elements in . The set of derivations, form a -subspace of . Given an element we can define a derivation, denoted by using the formula , for all , such derivation is called inner derivation. The set of inner derivations, form a subspace and the first Hochschild cohomology of is the quotient .
We will show, in this section, the following statement. In the statement we have a restriction which we believe it is not necessary, but we where not able to show the result without this restriction.
Theorem**.**
Let be a PHI algebra, which is not of type a wild quiver, then if and only if is simply connected.
The implication is simply connected then has already been proved for incidence algebras in general, De la Peña and Saorín showed the following result:
Theorem 3.1** (De la Peña, Saorín [12]).**
Let be an incidence algebra and a presentation of . Then
[TABLE]
Here is the group of all group homomorphisms from the group to the additive group , where denotes the additive group of the field.
For a definition of the homotopy group see for instance [11, 12, 13].
It should be noted that for the implication “If then is simply connected” we need the hypothesis that is a PHI algebra. The following is a counterexample, showing that this is not valid, in general. Consider the projective plane, whose triangulation has the simplicial complex with the fundamental group isomorphic to . Knowing that the fundamental group of the simplicial complex is isomorphic to the fundamental group of poset associated with this complex, applying the previous theorem we get:
[TABLE]
Then is not simply connected but , if the characteristic of is not 2.
The main theorem is in article “Topological invariants of piecewise hereditary algebras” [27] with the following statement:
Theorem 3.2** (Le Meur [27]).**
Let be a connected algebra derived equivalent to a hereditary abelian category whose oriented graph of tilting objects is connected. The following are equivalent:
- a)
. 2. b)
* is simply connected.*
In order to use this we need the fact that the oriented graph of tilting objects (defined below) is connected.
Definition 3.3** (tilting graph [20]).**
The oriented graph of tilting objects of a category has vertex set in bijection with the isoclasses of the tilting objects. Let , be non isomorphic tilting objects, there exist an arrow if , with , are non-isomorphisms indecomposables and there is a short exact sequence
[TABLE]
with .
When is derived equivalent to a hereditary algebra which is not of wild type, Happel and Unger [20] decided on the connectedness of with the following result:
Theorem 3.4** (Happel-Unger [20]).**
Let tame hereditary algebras. The is connected if and only if .
We observe that then the PHI algebras of type are not simply connected.
Barot, Kussin and Lenzing [4] proved the connectedness of provided that for weighted projective line of tubular type.
Recently on the work [14], Fu and Geng proved the following result:
Theorem 3.5** (Fu-Geng [14]).**
Let be a connected hereditary abelian category over . The tilting graph is connected provided that does not contain nonzero projective objects.
Therefore, together with the result of Le Meur [27], we can statement:
Theorem 3.6**.**
Let be a PHI algebra that is not of wild-quiver type. If , then the algebra is simply connected.
4. Global dimension
The projective dimension of an object in an abelian category is by definition
[TABLE]
and the global dimension of is the .
When we refer to the global dimension of algebras , we are considering the global dimension of the category . The piecewise hereditary algebras have finite global dimension. We mention the following result:
Theorem 4.1** (Happel-Reiten-Smalø [18]).**
Let be a piecewise hereditary, abelian category with finite length and non-isomorphisms simples objects. Then the category has global dimension less or equal to .
We asked ourself the following question: Is there an upper bound for the global dimension of PHI algebras?
This question was answered by Ladkani [25]. To state the result of Ladkani we recall that an algebra is called sincere if it admits a sincere indecomposable module in its category of modules, that is, an indecomposable module such that every simple module is a composition factor of it. The following statement is a particular case of Ladkani’s statement:
Theorem 4.2**.**
[25]** A sincere, piecewise hereditary algebra has global dimension less or equal to .
Connected incidence algebras are sincere, as we see next.
Proposition 4.3**.**
Let be an incidence algebra. Then is a sincere algebra.
Proof.
We need to show the existence of an indecomposable, sincere, module over . The candidate is the module associated with the following representation:
- a)
for each vertex in we associate ; 2. b)
for each arrow in We associate the identity .
First, we will show that is indecomposable. For this, we will study the . We consider a non-zero morphism of . Thus, there exists not zero for some , implying that is an isomorphism. Given an arrow , we have that . If the arrow is in the other direction, we get the same result. Thus, no matter the direction of the arrow, we conclude that . So, since the graph is connected, we always have a walk connecting the vertex to any vertex :
[TABLE]
By a finite process, we conclude that for all vertex of and consequently , therefore is an indecomposable module.
It is clear that is sincere.
Therefore, is a sincere indecomposable module over an incidence algebra . ∎
As a consequence we get the following corollary:
Corollary 4.4**.**
The global dimension of a PHI algebra is less or equal to .
Definition 4.5**.**
We call the module in the proposition above the canonical sincere module.
The representation-finite sincere algebras have global dimension less or equal to two. Before proving this affirmation, we need the definition of a directed module.
Definition 4.6** (directed module).**
A cycle in the module category is a sequence
[TABLE]
where , each is indecomposable and each morphism is non-zero, and non isomorphism.
Let be an indecomposable module, is called directed if it does not belong to any cycle.
Happel showed in the article “On the derived category of a finite-dimensional algebra” the following result:
Corollary 4.7** (Happel [16]).**
Let be a representation-finite, piecewise hereditary algebra. Then is directed, that is, all indecomposable -modules are directed.
We say that is directed if the category is directed.
Observe that for a directed algebra, over an algebraically closed field , the endomorphism ring of an indecomposable module is isomorphic to . since if there is a non zero endomorphism which is not an isomorphism, we get a cycle of lenght .
Now, we use the following Ringel theorem [34]:
Theorem 4.8** (Ringel [34]).**
Let be an algebra having a sincere and directed indecomposable module. Then is a tilted algebra.
The following result is a consequence of the two previous statements.
Proposition 4.9**.**
Let a representation-finite sincere algebra. Then is a tilted algebra, consequently .
Corollary 4.10**.**
If is a PHI algebra of finite representation type they its global dimension is less or equal to .
The global dimension of an incidence algebra is related with it strong simply connectedness. Before we show some results in this direction, we will introduce a family of algebras with global dimension equal to three called critical algebras.
Definition 4.11** (critical algebra [8]).**
Let be an algebra. We say that is critical if it satisfies the following properties:
- (i)
has a unique source and a unique sink , 2. (ii)
Let be a simple module associated with source and let be a simple module associated with sink , then and . If is a simple module associated with other vertice then and . 3. (iii)
Consider the minimal projective resolution of the simple module :
[TABLE]
Let be the following projective module, . Then all indecomposable projective are in , and each indecomposable projective is a direct summand of exactly one , for . 4. (iv)
Consider the minimal injective resolution of the :
[TABLE]
Consider the -module . Then all indecomposable injectives are in , and each indecomposable injective is a direct summand of exactly one , for . 5. (v)
does not contain any proper full subcategory that verifies i), ii), iii) e iv).
A description by quivers and relations of all the critical algebras can be found in the work “A criterion for global dimension two for strongly simply connected schurian algebras” [8].
Proposition 4.12** (Bordino-Fernandez-Trepode [8]).**
Let be a critical algebra. Then the algebra has one of the following presentations.
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
In the case , above, the relations are given by declaring that two parallel paths are equal.
Using this proposition, we see that the only critical incidence algebras are the ones whose quiver is the , since the presentations of algebras , , and have non-commutative relations.
Now we can state a theorem of Bordino, Fernández and Trepode [8] which we will use in our proposition 4.16.
Theorem 4.13** (Bordino-Fernández-Trepode [8]).**
Let be a strongly simply connected schurian algebra with global dimension greater or equal to three. Then there exists a full subcategory of such that is critical.
Let be a schurian triangular algebra, the interval between and is the full subcategory of generated by all points which lie on a nonzero path from to , that is, such that .
In order to state our next theorem we need the definition of crown.
Definition 4.14** (crown [3]).**
Let be a full subcategory of generated by points , with , and of the form:
[TABLE]
- i)
We say that is a weak crown in if:
- (a)
For each , intersects those of and , and of no other (here, and in the sequel, we agree to set and ). 2. (b)
the intersection of three distinct is empty. 2. ii)
A weak crown is said to be a crown if, for each , the intersection of and of is , and the intersection of and of is .
Before stating the proposition 4.16, we need the following result:
Theorem 4.15** (Assem-Castonguay-Marcos-Trepode [2]).**
Let be an incidence algebra, is strongly simply connected if and only if does not contain a crown.
Now we have the result on incidence algebras.
Proposition 4.16**.**
Let be a strongly simply connected incidence algebra. Then the global dimension of is less or equal to two.
Proof.
We recall that an incidence algebra is a schurian algebra. If the global dimension of is greater or equal to three then it will contain a full subcategory such that is critical. Since is an incidence algebra, is of the form and thus, the incidence algebra would contain a crown. This contradicts the result above. ∎
5. Strong global dimension
Let be the full subcategory of consisting of the projective modules. We denote the category of bounded complexes with entries in and the corresponding homotopy category.
Definition 5.1**.**
A complex in is called radical if the image of each differential is contained in the radical of .
The following proposition is well known.
Proposition 5.2**.**
Every complex in is homotopic to a unique, up to isomorphism, radical complex.
Due to the former proposition when we consider a complex in the category we will assume that it is radical, since it is isomorphic in to a unique radical complex.
In reality what happens is that the full subcategory of whose objects are the radical complexes is equivalent to the category .
Definition 5.3**.**
If is a radical complex, which is not zero, then there are integers such that for all and for all , with and not zero. The length of is defined as .
We can now define the strong global dimension.
Definition 5.4** (strong global dimension [21]).**
Let a finite-dimensional algebra. The strong global dimension of is defined in the following way.
[TABLE]
Observe that the strong global dimension can be infinite.
The next theorem is important in the study of the strong global dimension for PHI algebras.
Theorem 5.5** (Happel-Zacharia [21]).**
Let a finite-dimensional algebra. The algebra is piecewise hereditary if and only if is finite.
Thus it is clear that PHI algebras have finite strong global dimension. A tool to compute the strong global dimension of an algebra is the following theorem.
Theorem 5.6** (Alvares, Le Meur, Marcos [1]).**
Let be triangulated category which is triangle equivalent to the bounded derived category of a hereditary abelian category. Let a tilting object.
There exists a full and additive subcategory which is hereditary and abelian, such that the embedding extends to a triangle equivalence , and
[TABLE]
for some integer . Moreover, if is not hereditary then there exists such a pair verifying
Inspired by article the “Jordan Hölder theorems for derived module categories of piecewise hereditary algebras” [23], Alvares, Le Meur and Marcos have used an alternative definition of the strong global dimension [1].
Lemma 5.7** (Alvares, Le Meur, Marcos [1]).**
Let be a tilting object such that . Given a object in , we define
[TABLE]
Then the strong global dimension of is .
We want to give an upper bound for the strong global dimension of the PHI algebras. We have a more general result.
Theorem 5.8**.**
Let be a sincere, piecewise hereditary algebra. Then
[TABLE]
Proof.
We consider a sincere module and the decomposition of in indecomposable modules.
By hypothesis, there exist a quasi-inverse functor which makes the triangulated equivalence, where is a hereditary category.
Since is sincere, we have that
[TABLE]
Let be a tilting object in such that . For each , we denote the indecomposable direct summand of where such that . Also we denote where .
Now, for each , we have the following:
[TABLE]
Therefore or , for each , implying that the indecomposables direct summands of are in or which shows that . ∎
As an immediate consequence of previous theorem, we get the following:
Corollary 5.9**.**
Let be a PHI algebra . Then .
Another corollary is what has already been proved by Ladkani in [25].
Corollary 5.10**.**
Let be a sincere, piecewise hereditary algebra. Then
[TABLE]
Proof.
This is a consequence of inequality . ∎
Example 5.11**.**
The incidence algebra, whose quiver is given below, is a PHI algebra which has global dimension equal to three, and therefore it also has strong global dimension three.
[TABLE]
Our result 4.16 implies that the family of PHI algebras that has global dimension and strong global dimension equal to three are not strongly simply connected.
It would be interesting to give a characterization of this family of algebras? Observe that the PHI algebra above is in this class.
6. PHI algebras of sheaf type
In 1987, Geigle and Lenzing introduced category of coherent sheaves on the weighted projective line [15], denoted by . This is an abelian hereditary category which is derived equivalent to category of modules over a canonical algebra [15]. Some basic references to this subject are “Tame algebras and integral quadratic forms” [34] and “Elements of the representation theory of associative algebras, volume three” [35].
The article “A class of weighted projective curves arising in representation theory of finite dimensional algebras” [15] by Geigle and Lenzing, and the paper “Introduction to coherent sheaves on weighted projective line” [9] by Chen and Krause are important texts for an introduction to the theory of category of coherent sheaves on weighted projective line. We will use the characterization of the category exposed in “Hereditary noetherian categories with a tilting complex” [28] by Lenzing.
The PHI algebras were studied in the article “Which canonical algebras are derived equivalent to incidence algebras of posets?” [26] of Ladkani, which in part, relates to our work. This article was published in 2008, and presents a direct study of PHI algebras of sheaves type or equivalently PHI algebras of canonical type, nomenclature influenced by the derived equivalence between the categories and the category of modules over a canonical algebra . The main theorem of this article follows:
Theorem 6.1** (Ladkani [26]).**
Let be an incidence algebra. If then or , where . For each weighted projective line with or , where , there exist at least one incidence algebra such that .
Definition 6.2** (Euler Characteristic, domestic, tubular and wild).**
- (1)
The Euler characteristic of a weighted projective line is defined by the formula:
[TABLE] 2. (2)
The category is called domestic, tubular or wild, if its Euler characteristic is respectively bigger than zero, equal zero or smaller than zero.
An algebra is called a piecewise hereditary algebra of domestic-sheaf type or of tubular-sheaf type or of wild-sheaf type if where is of domestic, tubular or wild type, respectively.
For the purpose of exhibiting some families of PHI algebras of sheaves type, we will study one-point extension. The papers of Barot, De la Peña and Lenzing ([5], [6] and [10]) provide conditions on the piecewise hereditary algebras and in the -modules in order that also results a piecewise hereditary.
The next example is an example of a one point extension of a PHI algebra by its canonical sincere module, in which the one point extension is also PHI. It is clear that the one point extension, in the example is an incidence algebra, and we postponed the proof that it is also piecewise hereditary to 6.9.
Example 6.3**.**
Let be the canonical sincere module (see definition 4.3) over the algebra described below, by quiver and relation, and consider the one-point extension .
[TABLE]
We observe that is an incidence algebra that has a poset with a unique maximal element represented by the vertex .
We denote (resp. ) the full subcategory of all vector bundles (resp. sheaves of finite length) on .
Assume that we have a triangular equivalence:
[TABLE]
Inspired by the work of Lenzing and Skowroński, [30], we will show in proposition, 6.5, that the canonical sincere module is associated, to a vector bundle, via the canonical equivalence on the derived categories.
Proposition 6.4** (Lenzing-Skowroński [30]).**
Let be a representation-infinite, quasi-tilted algebra of sheaf type, obtained from the weighted projective line , via a tilting object .
Then each indecomposable -module belongs to exactly one of the subcategories
- a)
* consisting of all where in satisfies *
* and ;* 2. b)
* consisting of all from satisfying ;* 3. c)
* consisting of all from satisfying and *
; 4. d)
* consisting of all with in satisfying *
* ;* 5. e)
* consisting of all with in satisfying and .*
Proposition 6.5**.**
Let is a representation-infinite quasi-tilted algebra of sheaf type with a sincere indecomposable module . Assume is a quasi-invertible functor which defines a triangulated equivalence. Then is a vector bundle.
Proof.
We consider the decomposition of in indecomposable modules. By hypothesis, is equivalent as a triangulated category to , so there is a tilting object in such that
[TABLE]
Since is sincere, for each it follow:
[TABLE]
Let and , where belongs to , for each . Therefore,
[TABLE]
For each , is an indecomposable direct summands of , where decompose into a direct sum , see [30]. That is, is isomorphic to an indecomposable direct summand of consequently , and moreover .
We use the proposition of Lenzing-Skowroński [30] above. If , we have that
[TABLE]
Then eliminating the case a). Similarly, we eliminate the cases c) and e). This show that is a bundle.
Case is a almost concealed-canonical algebra, see [30], then . Implies that and , where . The case is similar to the previous argument. Let . If , we have
[TABLE]
This contradicts that is a bundle and is a finite length sheaf. Therefore is bundle.
∎
The next step is to demonstrate that the canonical sincere module , of a PHI algebra is exceptional. We recall the definition of exceptional object:
Definition 6.6** (exceptional).**
An object in a triangulated -category is called exceptional if and, not have auto-extensions, that is, for each non-null integer .
Corresponding, let a finite dimensional -algebra, the -module is called exceptional if , and .
Again, the next proposition is not specific to incidence algebras.
Proposition 6.7**.**
If is a representation-infinite quasi-tilted algebra of domestic-sheaf type with a sincere indecomposable module , then is exceptional.
Proof.
We have a triangulated equivalence:
[TABLE]
We show that , we have that
[TABLE]
By proposition 6.5, in . Therefore, is a bundle. Then we use the theorem of Lenzing-Reiten [29] which states that if of domestic type, then each indecomposable bundle is exceptional.
Hence, the sincere indecomposable module is exceptional. ∎
We state now a particular case of a result of Lenzing- De la Peña, which we will use in 6.9.
Theorem 6.8** (Lenzing-De la Peña [10]).**
Let be an algebra derived equivalent to a canonical algebra of weight type . We fix a triangle-equivalence , where . Let be an exceptional -module. If the module corresponds to a shift of an exceptional vector bundle over , and , then is derived equivalent to the path algebra of a wild connected quiver.
Lemma 6.9**.**
Let be a representation-infinite quasi-tilted algebra of domestic-sheaf type with a sincere indecomposable module . Then is derived equivalent to the path algebra of a wild connected quiver.
Proof.
We have a triangulated equivalence:
[TABLE]
By proposition 6.7, is exceptional. Moreover, by proposition 6.5, associated, by , with a exceptional vector bundle over .
We use the theorem of Lenzing-De la Peña [10] above. We conclude that is derived equivalent to the path algebra of a wild connected quiver. ∎
We can produce several examples of PHI algebras where is of wild type.
Example 6.10**.**
We give now an example of a PHI algebra of type . Using our lemma, 6.9, we see that the one point extension of by the canonical sincere module is a PHI algebra of wild type.
