Reference Request: A "Chevalley-Eilenberg"-style formulation of the $L_\infty$ algebra minimal model theorem?
The nicest definition of $L_\infty$-algebras ---which I will call a "Chevalley-Eilenberg" style definition after the obvious analogy with the Chevalley-Eilenberg differential of Lie algebras--- is the ...

History of an open problem on partial tilting modules
The following is an open problem:
Given a partial tilting module $T$ over a finite dimensional algebra $A$ (that is $Ext_A^i(T,T)=0$ for all $i \geq 1$ and $pd(T) < \infty$), then $T$ is a tilting ...

Reference for isomorphism $Ext_A^n(X,Y) \cong Ext_A^1(\Omega^{n-1}(X),Y)$
Let $A$ be a finite dimensional algebra and $X,Y$ indecomposable modules and $n \geq 2$.
We know that $Ext_A^n(X,Y) \cong Ext_A^1(\Omega^{n-1}(X),Y)$.
Now such an isomorphism should be given by ...
