Jun 9, 2010 at 0:07 comment added Victor Protsak I am referring to "wild representation type": classification of its modules contains as a subproblem classifying all pairs of matrices up to conjugation. By Drozd's theorem, a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ is either of finite, tame, or wild type. There are parameters in isomorphism classes of $A$-modules $\implies$ $A$ is not finite or tame $\implies$ $A$ is wild.
Jun 8, 2010 at 20:34 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez Heh. Of course there will be module as in (a)! I was just observing that the OP's question was slightly different than the one you answered. What do you mean by "moduli of individual wild algebras"?
Jun 8, 2010 at 15:34 comment added Victor Protsak Yes, you can do it for a few small values of $n$, but there will be (a) moduli of associative algebras of a given dimension $k$; and (b) moduli of individual wild algebras present even for a fixed $n$ once it is large enough.
Jun 8, 2010 at 12:10 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez The question is asking for the subalgebas of one matrix algebra, as far as I can tell, which is a different problem than classifying all f.d. algebras with a faithful representation (ie, all algebras)
