We show that the number of quivers in the mutation class of a quiver of Dynkin type $D_n$ is given by $\sum_{d|n} ϕ(n/d)\binom{2d}{d}/(2n)$ for $n \geq 5$. To obtain this formula, we give a correspondence between the quivers in the mutation class and certain rooted trees.
In general, the existence of a maximal green sequence is not mutation invariant. In this paper we show that it is in fact mutation invariant for cluster quivers of finite mutation type. In particular, we show that a mutation finite cluster quiver has a maximal green sequence unless it arises from a once-punctured closed marked surface, or one of the two quivers in the mutation class of X7. We develop a procedure to explicitly find maximal green sequences for cluster quivers associated to arbitrary triangulations of closed marked surfaces with at least two punctures. As a corollary, it follows …
A quiver is an oriented graph. Quiver mutation is an elementary operation on quivers. It appeared in physics in Seiberg duality in the nineties and in mathematics in the definition of cluster algebras by Fomin-Zelevinsky in 2002. We show, for large classes of quivers Q, using quiver mutation and quantum dilogarithms, one can construct the combinatorial DT-invariant, a formal power series intrinsically associated with Q. When defined, it coincides with the "total" Donaldson-Thomas invariant of Q (with a generic potential) provided by algebraic geometry (work of Joyce, Kontsevich-Soibelman, Szen…
Important objects of study in $τ$-tilting theory include the $τ$-tilting pairs over an algebra on the form $kQ/I$, with $kQ$ being a path algebra and $I$ an admissible ideal. In this paper, we study aspects of the combinatorics of mutation quivers of support $τ$-tilting pairs, simply called mutation quivers. In particular, we are interested in identifying connected components of the underlying graphs of such quivers. We give a class of algebras with two simple modules such that every algebra in the class has at most two connected components in its mutation quiver, generalizing a result by Demo…
For a quiver with non-degenerate potential, we study the associated stability scattering diagram and how it changes under mutations. We show that under mutations the stability scattering diagram behaves like the cluster scattering diagram associated to the same quiver, which gives them identical cluster chamber structures. As an application, we prove if the quiver has a green-to-red sequence, these two scattering diagrams are identical and if the quiver comes from a once-punctured torus, they differ by a central wall-crossing. This verifies in those cases a conjecture of Kontsevich-Soibelman t…
We introduce a new method for producing both maximal green and reddening sequences of quivers. The method, called component preserving mutations, generalizes the notion of direct sums of quivers and can be used as a tool to both recover known reddening sequences as well as find reddening sequences that were previously unknown. We use the method to produce and recover maximal green sequences for many bipartite recurrent quivers that show up in the study of periodicity of $T$-systems and $Y$-systems. Additionally, we show how our method relates to the dominance phenomenon recently considered by …
In a recent paper by K.-H. Lee, K. Lee and M. Mills, a mutation of reflections in the universal Coxeter group is defined in association with a mutation of a quiver. A matrix representation of these reflections is determined by a linear ordering on the set of vertices of the quiver. It was conjectured that there exists an ordering (called a pseudo-acyclic ordering in this paper) such that whenever two mutation sequences of a quiver lead to the same labeled seed, the representations of the associated reflections also coincide. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for every quiver mutation-equ…
We describe presentations of braid groups of type ADE and show how these presentations are compatible with mutation of quivers, building on work of Barot and Marsh for Coxeter groups. In types A and D these presentations can be understood geometrically using triangulated surfaces. We then give a categorical interpretation of the presentations, with the new generators acting as spherical twists at simple modules on derived categories of Ginzburg dg-algebras of quivers with potential.

Given a framed quiver, i.e. one with a frozen vertex associated to each mutable vertex, there is a concept of green mutation, as introduced by Keller. Maximal sequences of such mutations, known as maximal green sequences, are important in representation theory and physics as they have numerous applications, including the computations of spectrums of BPS states, Donaldson-Thomas invariants, tilting of hearts in the derived category, and quantum dilogarithm identities. In this paper, we study such sequences and construct a maximal green sequence for every quiver mutation-equivalent to an orienta…
For any quiver mutation sequence, we define a pair of matrices that describe a fixed point equation of a cluster transformation determined from the mutation sequence. We give an explicit relationship between this pair of matrices and the Jacobian matrix of the cluster transformation. Furthermore, we show that this relationship reduces to a relationship between the pair of matrices and the $C$-matrix of the cluster transformation in a certain limit of cluster variables. As an application, we prove that quivers associated with once-punctured surfaces do not have maximal green or reddening sequen…
The exchange graph of a 2-acyclic quiver is the graph of mutation-equivalent quivers whose edges correspond to mutations. When the quiver admits a nondegenerate Jacobi-finite potential, the exchange graph admits a natural acyclic orientation called the oriented exchange graph, as shown by Brüstle and Yang. The oriented exchange graph is isomorphic to the Hasse diagram of the poset of functorially finite torsion classes of a certain finite dimensional algebra. We prove that lattices of torsion classes are semidistributive lattices, and we use this result to conclude that oriented exchange graph…
Tilting mutation is a way of producing new tilting complexes from old ones replacing only one indecomposable summand. In this paper, we give a purely combinatorial procedure for performing tilting mutation of suitable algebras. As an application, we recreate a result due to Ladkani, which states that the path algebra of a quiver shaped like a line (with certain relations) is derived equivalent to the path algebra of a quiver shaped like a rectangle. We will do this by producing an explicit series of tilting mutations going between the two algebras.
Let $\tilde{Q}$ (resp. $Q$) be an extended exchange (resp. exchange) cluster quiver of finite mutation type. We introduce the distribution set of the number of arrows for $Mut[\tilde{Q}]$ (resp. $Mut[Q]$), give the maximum and minimum numbers of the distribution set and establish the existence of an extended complete walk (resp. a complete walk). As a consequence, we prove that the distribution set for $Mut[\tilde{Q}]$ (resp. $Mut[Q]$) is continuous except the exceptional cases. In case of cluster quivers $Q_{inf}$ of infinite mutation type, the number of arrows does not present a continuous d…
