Algebras of generalized quaternion type: biregular case

Abstract

This paper provides the next step towards classification of algebras of generalized quaternion type. Previously algebras with 2-regular Gabriel quiver were classified (a quiver is 2-regular if at each vertex, two arrows start and two arrows end). Here we classify the algebras where at each vertex, either one arrow starts and one arrow ends, or else two arrows start and two arrows end. Our main result shows that that any such algebra (up to socle equivalence) is either a weighted surface algebra, or a higher spherical algebra.
