Cartan determinants for gentle algebras

The determinant of the Cartan matrix of a finite dimensional algebra is an invariant of the derived category and can be very helpful for derived equivalence classifications. In this paper we determine the determinants of the Cartan matrices for all gentle algebras. This is a class of algebras of tame representation type which occurs naturally in various places in representation theory. The definition of these algebras is of a purely combinatorial nature, and so are our formulae for the Cartan determinants.Received: 29 October 2004     

On tame weakly symmetric algebras having only periodic modules

We classify (up to Morita equivalence) all tame weakly symmetric finite dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field having simply connected Galois coverings, nonsingular Cartan matrices and the stable Auslander-Reiten quivers consisting only of tubes. In particular, we prove that these algebras have at most four simple modules.Received: 25 February 2002     

Tame concealed algebras and cluster quivers of minimal infinite type

The well-known list of Happel-Vossieck of tame concealed algebras in terms of quivers with relations, and the list of A. Seven of minimal infinite cluster quivers are compared. There is a 1-1 correspondence between the items in these lists, and we explain how an item in one list naturally corresponds to an item in the other list. A central tool for understanding this correspondence is the theory of cluster-tilted algebras.     

Radical cube zero weakly symmetric algebras and support varieties

One of our main results is a classification of all the weakly symmetric radical cube zero finite dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field having a theory of support via the Hochschild cohomology ring satisfying Dade’s Lemma. In the process we give a characterization of when a finite dimensional Koszul algebra has such a theory of support in terms of the graded centre of the Koszul dual.     

Rhombus filtrations and Rauzy algebras

Peach introduced rhombal algebras associated to quivers given by tilings of the plane by rhombi. We develop general techniques to analyze rhombal algebras, including a filtration by what we call rhombus modules. We introduce a way to relate the infinite-dimensional rhombal algebra corresponding to a complete tiling of the plane to finite-dimensional algebras corresponding to finite portions of the tiling. Throughout, we apply our general techniques to the special case of the Rauzy tiling, which is built in stages reflecting an underlying self-similarity. Exploiting this self-similar structure allows us to uncover interesting features of the associated finite-dimensional algebras, including some of the tree classes in the stable Auslander-Reiten quiver.     

Combinatorial derived invariants for gentle algebras

We define derived equivalent invariants for gentle algebras, constructed in an easy combinatorial way from the quiver with relations defining these algebras. Our invariants consist of pairs of natural numbers and contain important information about the algebra and the structure of the stable Auslander-Reiten quiver of its repetitive algebra. As a by-product we obtain that the number of arrows of the quiver of a gentle algebra is invariant under derived equivalence. Finally, our invariants separate the derived equivalence classes of gentle algebras with at most one cycle.     

Graded Calabi Yau algebras of dimension 3

In this paper, we prove that Graded Calabi Yau algebras of dimension 3 are isomorphic to path algebras of quivers with relations derived from a superpotential. We show that for a given quiver Q and a degree d, the set of good superpotentials of degree d, i.e. those that give rise to Calabi Yau algebras, is either empty or almost everything (in the measure theoretic sense). We also give some constraints on the structure of quivers that allow good superpotentials, and for the simplest quivers we give a complete list of the degrees for which good superpotentials exist.     

Koszul duality for extension algebras of standard modules

We define and investigate a class of Koszul quasi-hereditary algebras for which there is a natural equivalence between the bounded derived category of graded modules and the bounded derived category of graded modules over (a proper version of) the extension algebra of standard modules. Examples of such algebras include, in particular, the multiplicity free blocks of the BGG category O, and some quasi-hereditary algebras with Cartan decomposition in the sense of König.     

Cluster tilting objects in generalized higher cluster categories

We prove the existence of an m-cluster tilting object in a generalized m-cluster category which is (m+1)-Calabi-Yau and Hom-finite, arising from an (m+2)-Calabi-Yau dg algebra. This is a generalization of the result for the m=1 case in Amiot’s Ph.D. thesis. Our results apply in particular to higher cluster categories associated to Ginzburg dg categories coming from suitable graded quivers with superpotential, and higher cluster categories associated to suitable finite-dimensional algebras of finite global dimension.     

Radical cube zero selfinjective algebras of finite complexity

One of our main results is a classification of all the possible quivers of selfinjective radical cube zero finite-dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field having finite complexity. In the paper (Erdmann and Solberg, 2011) [5] we classified all weakly symmetric algebras with support varieties via Hochschild cohomology satisfying Dade’s Lemma. For a finite-dimensional algebra to have such a theory of support varieties implies that the algebra has finite complexity. Hence this paper is a partial extension of [5].     

The quiver of projectives in hereditary categories with Serre duality

Let k be an algebraically closed field and A a k-linear hereditary category satisfying Serre duality with no infinite radicals between the preprojective objects. If A is generated by the preprojective objects, then we show that A is derived equivalent to for a so-called strongly locally finite quiver Q. To this end, we introduce light cone distances and round trip distances on quivers which will be used to investigate sections in stable translation quivers of the form ZQ.     

Grothendieck group and generalized mutation rule for 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated categories

We compute the Grothendieck group of certain 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated categories appearing naturally in the study of the link between quiver representations and Fomin-Zelevinsky cluster algebras. In this setup, we also prove a generalization of the Fomin-Zelevinsky mutation rule.     

COILS FOR VECTORSPACE CATEGORIES

Coils as components of Auslander–Reiten quivers of algebras and coil algebras are introduced by Assem and Skowroński. This concept is applied in the present paper to vectorspace categories. The four admissible operations on an Auslander–Reiten component of a vectorspace category, and the notions of v-coils and of vcoil vectorspace categories are introduced. A detailed study on the indecomposable objects of factorspace category of a vcoil vectorspace category is carried out.     

The tame dimension vectors for trees

We consider representations of quivers over an algebraically closed field K. A dimension vector of a quiver is called hypercritical, if there is an m-parameter family of indecomposable representations for the dimension vector with m?2, but every family of representations for all smaller dimension vectors depends on a single parameter. We characterise the hypercritical dimension vectors for trees via their Tits forms and those of their decompositions and present the complete list of the hypercritical dimension vectors.Finally, this leads to a combinatorial classification of the tame dimension vectors for trees which is also given by the Tits forms.

Curved Koszul duality of algebras over unital versions of binary operads

We develop a curved Koszul duality theory for algebras presented by quadratic-linear-constant relations over unital versions of binary quadratic operads. As an application, we study Poisson n-algebras given by polynomial functions on a standard shifted symplectic space. We compute explicit resolutions of these algebras using curved Koszul duality. We use these resolutions to compute derived enveloping algebras and factorization homology on parallelized simply connected closed manifolds with coefficients in these Poisson n-algebras.     

Jordan recoverability of some subcategories of modules over gentle algebras

Gentle algebras form a class of finite-dimensional algebras introduced by I. Assem and A. Skowroński in the 1980s. Modules over such an algebra can be described by string and band combinatorics in the associated gentle quiver from the work of M.C.R. Butler and C.M. Ringel. Any module can be naturally associated to a quiver representation. A nilpotent endomorphism of a quiver representation induces linear transformations over vector spaces at each vertex. Generically among all nilpotent endomorphisms, a well-defined Jordan form exists for these representations. We focus on subcategories additively generated by all the indecomposable representations of a gentle quiver, including a fixed vertex in their support. We show a characterization of the vertices such that the objects of this subcategory are determined up to isomorphism by their generic Jordan form.
