On Gorenstein algebras of finite Cohen-Macaulay type: dimer tree algebras and their skew group algebras

Dimer tree algebras are a class of non-commutative Gorenstein algebras of Gorenstein dimension 1. In previous work we showed that the stable category of Cohen-Macaulay modules of a dimer tree algebra $A$ is a 2-cluster category of Dynkin type $\mathbb{A}$. Here we show that, if $A$ has an admissible action by the group $G$ with two elements, then the stable Cohen-Macaulay category of the skew group algebra $AG$ is a 2-cluster category of Dynkin type $\mathbb{D}$. This result is reminiscent of and inspired by a result by Reiten and Riedtmann, who showed that for an admissible $G$-action on the path algebra of type $\mathbb{A}$ the resulting skew group algebra is of type $\mathbb{D}$. Moreover, we provide a geometric model of the syzygy category of $AG$ in terms of a punctured polygon $\mathcal{P}$ with a checkerboard pattern in its interior, such that the 2-arcs in $\mathcal{P}$ correspond to indecomposable syzygies in $AG$ and 2-pivots correspond to morphisms. In particular, the dimer tree algebras and their skew group algebras are Gorenstein algebras of finite Cohen-Macaulay type $\mathbb{A}$ and $\mathbb{D}$ respectively. We also provide examples of types ${\mathbb{E}}_6,{\mathbb{E}}_7,$ and ${\mathbb{E}}_8$.
