Finite-dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field are divided into two disjoint classes, called tame and wild respectively, by Drozd's tame and wild dichotomy (see [5] and [2]). A tame algebra, roughly speaking, has its n-dimensional indecomposable modules parametrized by finitely many one-parameter families, for all natural numbers n, but a wild algebra has more indecomposable modules and it is considered hopeless to classify them. In [2], Crawley-Boevey showed that all but finitely many n-dimensional indecomposable modules over a tame algebra are
-invariant, for all natural numbers n, and conjectured that the converse would be true, where
:= DTr is the AuslanderReiten translation (see [1]) and we call an indecomposable module X
-invariant if X
