A bocs theoretic characterization of gendo-symmetric algebras

Gendo-symmetric algebras were recently introduced by Fang and König. An algebra is called gendo-symmetric in case it is isomorphic to the endomorphism ring of a generator over a finite dimensional symmetric algebra. We show that a finite dimensional algebra $A$ over a field $K$ is gendo-symmetric if and only if there is a bocs-structure on $(A,D(A))$, where $D=Hom_K(-,K)$ is the natural duality. Assuming that $A$ is gendo-symmetric, we show that the module category of the bocs $(A,D(A))$ is isomorphic to the module category of the algebra $eAe$, when $e$ is an idempotent such that $eA$ is the unique minimal faithful projective-injective right $A$-module. We also prove some new results about gendo-symmetric algebras using the theory of bocses.
