On the invariant theory for tame tilted algebras

We show that a tilted algebra $A$ is tame if and only if for each generic root $d$ of $A$ and each indecomposable irreducible component $C$ of $mod (A, d)$ , the field of rational invariants $k {(C)}^{GL (d)}$ is isomorphic to $k$ or $k (x)$ . Next, we show that the tame tilted algebras are precisely those tilted algebras $A$ with the property that for each generic root $d$ of $A$ and each indecomposable irreducible component $C \subseteq mod (A, d)$ , the moduli space $ℳ {(C)}_{θ}^{s s}$ is either a point or just $ℙ^{1}$ whenever $θ$ is an integral weight for which $C_{θ}^{s} \neq \emptyset$ . We furthermore show that the tameness of a tilted algebra is equivalent to the moduli space $ℳ {(C)}_{θ}^{s s}$ being smooth for each generic root $d$ of $A$ , each indecomposable irreducible component $C \subseteq mod (A, d)$ , and each integral weight $θ$ for which $C_{θ}^{s} \neq \emptyset$ . As a consequence of this latter description, we show that the smoothness of the various moduli spaces of modules for a strongly simply connected algebra $A$ implies the tameness of $A$ .

Along the way, we explain how moduli spaces of modules for finite-dimensional algebras behave with respect to tilting functors, and to theta-stable decompositions.
