Absolutely indecomposable representations and Kac-Moody Lie algebras

A conjecture of Kac states that the polynomial counting the number of absolutely indecomposable representations of a quiver over a finite field with given dimension vector has positive coefficients and furthermore that its constant term is equal to the multiplicity of the corresponding root in the associated Kac-Moody Lie algebra. In this paper we prove these conjectures for indivisible dimension vectors.

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.     

Orthoscalar quiver representations corresponding to extended Dynkin graphs in the category of Hilbert spaces

It is known that finitely representable quivers correspond to Dynkin graphs and tame quivers correspond to extended Dynkin graphs. In an earlier paper, the authors generalized some of these results to locally scalar (later renamed to orthoscalar) quiver representations in Hilbert spaces; in particular, an analog of the Gabriel theorem was proved. In this paper, we study the relationships between indecomposable representations in the category of orthoscalar representations and indecomposable representations in the category of all quiver representations. For the quivers corresponding to extended Dynkin graphs, the indecomposable orthoscalar representations are classified up to unitary equivalence.     

Quiver representations of maximal rank type and an application to representations of a quiver with three vertices

We introduce the notion of ‘maximal rank type’ forrepresentations of quivers, which requires certain collectionsof maps involved in the representation to be of maximal rank.We show that real root representations of quivers are of maximalrank type. By using the maximal rank type property and universalextension functors we construct all real root representationsof a particular wild quiver with three vertices. From this constructionit follows that real root representations of this quiver aretree modules. Moreover, formulae given by Ringel can be appliedto compute the dimension of the endomorphism ring of a givenreal root representation.     

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.     

Quiver Grassmannians associated with string modules

We provide a technique to compute the Euler–Poincaré characteristic of a class of projective varieties called quiver Grassmannians. This technique applies to quiver Grassmannians associated with “orientable string modules”. As an application we explicitly compute the Euler–Poincaré characteristic of quiver Grassmannians associated with indecomposable pre-projective, pre-injective and regular homogeneous representations of an affine quiver of type [(A)\tilde]_p,1\tilde{A}_{p,1}. For p=1, this approach provides another proof of a result due to Caldero and Zelevinsky (in Mosc. Math. J. 6(3):411–429, 2006).     

Tree modules of the generalised Kronecker quiver

For coprime roots certain torus fixed points of the Kronecker moduli space are indecomposable tree modules. They are indecomposable representations of the regular m-tree and can be glued in order to get stable torus fixed points for every coprime root. Using their stability and the reflection functor we show that for arbitrary roots there exist indecomposable tree modules of the Kronecker quiver as factor modules of these torus fixed points.     

Global dimension of Noetherian serial rings

The global dimension of Noetherian serial rings is studied. It is proved that if an indecomposable serial ring has infinite global dimension then it is Artinian and its quiver is a simple cycle. Using methods of the theory of right serial quivers, we give an upper estimate on the Loewy length of Artinian rings of finite global dimension. Applications to the calculation of the global dimension of tiled orders of width 2 are given.     

Representations of Gan–Ginzburg algebras

Given a quiver, a fixed dimension vector, and a positive integer n, we construct a functor from the category of D-modules on the space of representations of the quiver to the category of modules over a corresponding Gan–Ginzburg algebra of rank n. When the quiver is affine Dynkin, we obtain an explicit construction of representations of the corresponding wreath product symplectic reflection algebra of rank n. When the quiver is star-shaped, but not finite Dynkin, we use this functor to obtain a Lie-theoretic construction of representations of a “spherical” subalgebra of the Gan–Ginzburg algebra isomorphic to a rational generalized double affine Hecke algebra of rank n. Our functors are a generalization of the type A and type BC functors from [1] and [4], respectively.     

Principal Components Along Quiver Representations

Quiver representations arise naturally in many areas across mathematics. Here we describe an algorithm for calculating the vector space of sections, or compatible assignments of vectors to vertices, of any finite-dimensional representation of a finite quiver. Consequently, we are able to define and compute principal components with respect to quiver representations. These principal components are solutions to constrained optimisation problems defined over the space of sections and are eigenvectors of an associated matrix pencil.

     

A computational criterion for the Kac conjecture

We give a criterion for the Kac conjecture asserting that the free term of the polynomial counting the absolutely indecomposable representations of a quiver over a finite field of given dimension coincides with the corresponding root multiplicity of the associated Kac–Moody algebra. Our criterion suits very well for computer tests.     

Stable representations of posets

The purpose of this paper is to study stable representations of partially ordered sets (posets) and compare it to the well known theory for quivers. In particular, we prove that every indecomposable representation of a poset of finite type is stable with respect to some weight and construct that weight explicitly in terms of the dimension vector. We show that if a poset is primitive then Coxeter transformations preserve stable representations. When the base field is the field of complex numbers we establish the connection between the polystable representations and the unitary χ-representations of posets. This connection explains the similarity of the results obtained in the series of papers.     

Gr?bner–Shirshov Basis of Derived Hall Algebra of Type A_n

We know that in Ringel–Hall algebra of Dynkin type, the set of all skew commutator relations between the iso-classes of indecomposable modules forms a minimal Gr?bner–Shirshov basis,and the corresponding irreducible elements forms a PBW type basis of the Ringel–Hall algebra. We aim to generalize this result to the derived Hall algebra DH(A_n) of type A_n. First, we compute all skew commutator relations between the iso-classes of indecomposable objects in the bounded derived category D~b(A_n) using the Auslander–Reiten quiver of D~b(A_n), and then we prove that all possible compositions between these skew commutator relations are trivial. As an application, we give a PBW type basis of DH(A_n).

Rigid and Schurian modules over cluster-tilted algebras of tame type

We give an example of a cluster-tilted algebra \(\Lambda \) with quiver Q, such that the associated cluster algebra \(\mathcal {A}(Q)\) has a denominator vector which is not the dimension vector of any indecomposable \(\Lambda \)-module. This answers a question posed by T. Nakanishi. The relevant example is a cluster-tilted algebra associated with a tame hereditary algebra. We show that for such a cluster-tilted algebra \(\Lambda \), we can write any denominator vector as a sum of the dimension vectors of at most three indecomposable rigid \(\Lambda \)-modules. In order to do this it is necessary, and of independent interest, to first classify the indecomposable rigid \(\Lambda \)-modules in this case.     

Kac’s conjecture from Nakajima quiver varieties

We prove a generating function formula for the Betti numbers of Nakajima quiver varieties. We prove that it is a q-deformation of the Weyl-Kac character formula. In particular this implies that the constant term of the polynomial counting the number of absolutely indecomposable representations of a quiver equals the multiplicity of a certain weight in the corresponding Kac-Moody algebra, which was conjectured by Kac in 1982.     

Representations of deformed preprojective algebras and quantum groups

Let (Γ,I) be the bound quiver of a cyclic quiver whose vertices correspond to the Abelian group Zd. In this paper, we list all indecomposable representations of (Γ,I) and give the conditions that those representations of them can be extended to representations of deformed preprojective algebra Πλ(Γ,I). It is shown that those representations given by extending indecomposable representations of (Γ,I) are all simple representations of Πλ(Γ,I). Therefore, it is concluded that all simple representa-tions of rest...     

On the Canonical Decomposition of Quiver Representations

Kac introduced the notion of the canonical decomposition for a dimension vector of a quiver. Here we will give an efficient algorithm to compute the canonical decomposition. Our study of the canonical decomposition for quivers with three vertices gives us fractal-like pictures.
