“…The class of cycle-finite algebras is wide and contains the algebras of finite type, the tame tilted algebras [Ke], the tame double tilted algebras [RS1], the tame generalized double tilted algebras [RS2], the tame quasi-tilted algebras [LS], [Sk10], the tame generalized multicoil algebras [MS], and the strongly simply connected algebras of polynomial growth [Sk8]. It has also been proved in [AS1], [AS2], [AS3] that the class of algebras A for which the derived category D b (mod A) of bounded complexes over mod A is cycle-finite coincides with the class of algebras which are tilting-cotilting equivalent to the hereditary algebras of Dynkin type, hereditary algebras of Euclidean type, or tubular algebras (in the sense of [Ri]), and consequently these algebras A are also cycle-finite. We also mention that by a result due to Peng and Xiao [PX] and the second named author [Sk4], the Auslander-Reiten quiver of any algebra A has at most finitely many D Trorbits containing directing modules (not lying on a cycle in mod A).…”
