Derived equivalences between one-branch extensions of "rectangles"

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the incidence algebras arising from one-branch extensions of "rectangles". There are four different ways to form such extensions, and all four kinds of incidence algebras turn out to be derived equivalent. We provide realizations for all of them by tilting complexes in a Nakayama algebra. As an application, we obtain the explicit formulas of the Coxeter polynomials for a half of Nakayama algebras (i.e., the Nakayama algebras N (n, r) with 2r ≥ n + 2). Meanwhile, an unexpected derived equivalence between Nakayama algebras N (2r − 1, r) and N (2r − 1, r + 1) has been found.
