Abstract

We study finiteness conditions on large tilting modules over arbitrary rings. We then turn to a hereditary artin algebra R and apply our results to the (infinite dimensional) tilting module L that generates all modules without preprojective direct summands. We show that the behaviour of L over its endomorphism ring determines the representation type of R. A similar result holds true for the (infinite dimensional) tilting module W that generates the divisible modules. Finally, we extend to the wild case some results on Baer modules and torsion-free modules proven in Angeleri Hügel, L., Herbera, D., Trlifaj, J.: Baer and Mittag-Leffler modules over tame hereditary algebras. Math. Z. 265, 1–19 (2010) for tame hereditary algebras.
