Abstract

The Brauer-Thrall Conjectures, now theorems, were originally stated for finitely generated modules over a finite-dimensional k-algebra. They say, roughly speaking, that infinite representation type implies the existence of lots of indecomposable modules of arbitrarily large k-dimension. These conjectures have natural interpretations in the context of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over Cohen-Macaulay local rings. This is a survey of progress on these transplanted conjectures.
