Happel [6] and Cline, Parshall and Scott [4] showed that the tilting functors of Happel and Ringel [8] can be interpreted in terms of an equivalence of derived categories of the module categories involved. In [lo] we generalised this result to give necessary and sufficient conditions for such an equivalence; in this more general case tilting modules must be replaced by ‘tilting complexes’, which are chain complexes of projective modules that satisfy conditions analogous to those satisfied by tilting modules (see Theorem 1.1 below). The aim of this paper is to show that this generalisation has interesting applications that do not arise for the more restrictive tilting modules. In particular, if/I is a self-injective algebra (for example, a modular group algebra for a finite group) then it is easy to see that any tilting module for/1 is projective-in fact, any/l-module of finite projective dimension is projective. Therefore in this case classical tilting theory reduces to Morita equivalence. In the more general case of tilting complexes we shall show that there are many applications of the theory to self-injective algebras and in Section 2 we shall show that ‘derived equivalence’for self-injective algebras is closely connected with stable equivalence. There has been work connecting tilting theory and self-injective algebras via ‘trivial extension algebras’; for example, Tachikawa and Wakamatsu[ll] showed that if r is a finite-dimensional algebra that is tilted from/1, then the trivial extension algebras T/1 and TTare stably equivalent. In Section 3 we generalise their result and show that it has a very natural proof in terms of derived equivalence. In fact a tilting complex for A with endomorphism ring rgives rise, by tensoring with T/1, to a tilting complex for TA with endomorphism ring TT We hope that derived equivalence may have useful applications to modular representation theory and in Section 4 we start with the simplest case, blocks with cyclic defect group, and show that the Brauer tree algebras that are stably equivalent are in fact derived equivalent.
