Abstract

We give bounds on the global dimension of a finite length, piecewise hereditary category in terms of quantitative connectivity properties of its graph of indecomposables.We use this to show that the global dimension of a finite-dimensional, piecewise hereditary algebra AA cannot exceed 3 if AA is an incidence algebra of a finite poset or more generally, a sincere algebra. This bound is tight.
