Generalized cluster complexes via quiver representations

We give a quiver representation theoretic interpretation of generalized cluster complexes defined by Fomin and Reading. Using d-cluster categories defined by Keller as triangulated orbit categories of (bounded) derived categories of representations of valued quivers, we define a d-compatibility degree (−∥−) on any pair of “colored” almost positive real Schur roots which generalizes previous definitions on the noncolored case and call two such roots compatible, provided that their d-compatibility degree is zero. Associated to the root system Φ corresponding to the valued quiver, using this compatibility relation, we define a simplicial complex which has colored almost positive real Schur roots as vertices and d-compatible subsets as simplices. If the valued quiver is an alternating quiver of a Dynkin diagram, then this complex is the generalized cluster complex defined by Fomin and Reading.

Semi-invariants of mixed representations of quivers

A notion of a mixed representation of a quiver can be derived from ordinary quiver representation by considering the dual action of groups on "vertex" vector spaces together with their usual action. A generating system for the algebra of semi-invariants of mixed representations of a quiver is determined. This is done by reducing the problem to the case of bipartite quivers of a special form and using a function DP on three matrices, which is a mixture of the determinant and two pfaffians.     

Indecomposable representations for real roots of a wild quiver

For a given quiver and dimension vector, Kac has shown that there is exactly one indecomposable representation up to isomorphism if and only if this dimension vector is a positive real root. However, it is not clear how to compute these indecomposable representations in an explicit and minimal way, and the properties of these representations are mostly unknown. In this note we study representations of a particular wild quiver. We define operations which act on representations of this quiver, and using these operations we construct indecomposable representations for positive real roots, compute their endomorphism rings and show that these representations are tree representations. The operations correspond to the fundamental reflections in the Weyl group of the quiver. Our results are independent of the characteristic of the field.     

Orthoscalar representations of quivers in the category of Hilbert spaces

As is known, finitely presented quivers correspond to Dynkin graphs (Gabriel, 1972) and tame quivers correspond to extended Dynkin graphs (Donovan and Freislich, Nazarova, 1973). In the article “Locally scalar representations of graphs in the category of Hilberts spaces” (Func. Anal. Apps., 2005), the authors showed a way for carrying over these results to Hilbert spaces, constructed Coxeter functors, and proved an analog of the Gabriel theorem for locally scalar representations (up to unitary equivalence). The category of locally scalar representations of a quiver can be regarded as a subcategory in the category of all representations (over the field ℂ). In the present paper, we study the relationship between the indecomposability of locally scalar representations in the subcategory and in the category of all representations (it is proved that for a class of quivers wide enough indecomposability in the subcategory implies indecomposability in the category). For a quiver corresponding to the extended Dynkin graph , locally scalar representations that cannot be obtained from the simplest ones by Coxeter functors (regular representations) are classified.

A remark on the constructibility of real root representations of quivers using universal extension functors

In this paper we consider the following question: Is it possible to construct all real root representations of a given quiver Q using universal extension functors, starting with a real Schur representation? We give a concrete example answering this question negatively.     

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.     

Partition identities and quiver representations

We present a particular connection between classical partition combinatorics and the theory of quiver representations. Specifically, we give a bijective proof of an analogue of A. L. Cauchy’s Durfee square identity to multipartitions. We then use this result to give a new proof of M. Reineke’s identity in the case of quivers \({\mathcal {Q}}\) of Dynkin type A. Our identity is stated in terms of the lacing diagrams of S. Abeasis–A. Del Fra, which parameterize orbits of the representation space of \({\mathcal {Q}}\) for a fixed dimension vector.     

On the slopes of semistable representations of tame quivers

Stability conditions play an important role in the study of representations of a quiver. In the present paper, we study semistable representations of quivers. In particular, we describe the slopes of semistable representations of a tame quiver for a fixed stability condition.     

Tensor products on quiver representations

The aim of this article is to translate the well-known tensor product of representations of a group given by diagonal action to the case of representations of a quiver. We provide three different approaches and exhibit their close relationship to the point-wise tensor product, which is considered in [M. Herschend, Solution to the Clebsch-Gordan problem for Kronecker representations. U.U.D.M Project Report 2003:P1, Uppsala University, 2003; M. Herschend, Solution to the Clebsch-Gordan problem for representations of quivers of type , J. Algebra Appl. 4 (5) (2005) 481-488; M. Herschend, On the Clebsch-Gordan problem for quiver representations. U.U.D.M Report 2005:43, Uppsala University, 2005].     

Maximal Green Sequences for Preprojective Algebras

Maximal green sequences were introduced as combinatorical counterpart for Donaldson-Thomas invariants for 2-acyclic quivers with potential by B. Keller. We take the categorical notion and introduce maximal green sequences for hearts of bounded t-structures of triangulated categories that can be tilted indefinitely. We study the case where the heart is the category of modules over the preprojective algebra of a quiver without loops. The combinatorical counterpart of maximal green sequences for Dynkin quivers are maximal chains in the Hasse quiver of basic support τ-tilting modules. We show that a quiver has a maximal green sequence if and only if it is of Dynkin type. More generally, we study module categories for finite-dimensional algebras with finitely many bricks.     

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.     

Special biserial coalgebras and representations of quantum SL(2)

We develop the theory of special biserial and string coalgebras and other concepts from the representation theory of quivers. These tools are then used to describe the finite-dimensional comodules and Auslander–Reiten quiver for the coordinate Hopf algebra of quantum $\mathit{SL}(2)$ at a root of unity. We also compute quantum dimensions and the stable Green ring.     

Linear versus set valued Kronecker representations

A set valued representation of the Kronecker quiver is nothing but a quiver. We apply the forgetful functor from vector spaces to sets and compare linear with set valued representations of the Kronecker quiver.     

Quivers with potentials and their representations I: Mutations

We study quivers with relations given by noncommutative analogs of Jacobian ideals in the complete path algebra. This framework allows us to give a representation-theoretic interpretation of quiver mutations at arbitrary vertices. This gives a far-reaching generalization of Bernstein–Gelfand–Ponomarev reflection functors. The motivations for this work come from several sources: superpotentials in physics, Calabi–Yau algebras, cluster algebras.      

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.
