Quipu quivers and Nakayama algebras with almost separate relations

Abstract

A Nakayama algebra with almost separate relations is one where the overlap between any pair of relations is at most one arrow. In this paper we give a derived equivalence between such Nakayama algebras and path algebras of quivers of a special form known as quipu quivers. Furthermore, we show how this derived equivalence can be used to produce a complete classification of linear Nakayama algebras with almost separate relations. As an application, we include a list of the derived equivalence classes of all Nakayama algebras of length $\leq 8$ with almost separate relations.
