This paper consider the two questions: If the tensor M ⊗ A N on A is zero, under what situation is either M = 0 or N = 0? If the element, say m ⊗ n, in M ⊗ A N is zero, under what situation is either m = 0 or n = 0? This study introduces strong/weak zero-tensor-divisors in this paper and provide a solution of the above questions by quiver methods. To be precise, assume that A is a connected algebra whose quiver contains at most one loop, then have the results as follows: (1) A has strong zero-tensor-divisors, the number of vertices of its quiver is greater than or equal to 2, the quiver of A is not a loop. (2) If A does not have weak zero-tensor-divisors then its dimension is infinite. UR - https://doi.org/10.19789/j.1004-9398.2025.05.003 DO - 10.19789/j.1004-9398.2025.05.003
