We use semi-invariant pictures to prove two conjectures about maximal green sequences. First: if $Q$ is any acyclic valued quiver with an arrow $j\to i$ of infinite type then any maximal green sequence for $Q$ must mutate at $i$ before mutating at $j$. Second: for any quiver $Q'$ obtained by mutating an acyclic valued quiver $Q$ of tame type, there are only finitely many maximal green sequences for $Q'$. Both statements follow from the Rotation Lemma for reddening sequences and this in turn follows from the Mutation Formula for the semi-invariant picture for $Q$.
In this paper we state and prove the statement that tame hereditary algebras have finitely many m-maximal green sequences using a generalized version of Brüstle-Dupont-Pérotin's argument that tame quivers have finitely many maximal green sequences. Then we extend this theorem to mutation sequences which are partially red.
In this paper we completely describe maximal green sequences (MGS) of acyclic quivers with multiple edges in terms of maximal green sequences of their multiple edge-free (ME-free) versions. In particular we establish that any MGS of a quiver must be an ME-free MGS of its ME-free version. For quivers with oriented cycles our results for acyclic quivers do not apply. However a weaker result is available under certain conditions.
We show that, for any cluster-tilted algebra of finite representation type over an algebraically closed field, the following three definitions of a maximal green sequence are equivalent: (1) the usual definition in terms of Fomin-Zelevinsky mutation of the extended exchange matrix, (2) a forward hom-orthogonal sequence of Schurian modules, (3) the sequence of wall crossings of a generic green path. Together with [24], this completes the foundational work needed to support the author's work with P.J. Apruzzese [1], namely, to determine all lengths of all maximal green sequences for all quivers …
A maximal green sequence introduced by B. Keller is a certain sequence of quiver mutations at green vertices. T. Brüstle, G. Dupont and M. Pérotin showed that for an acyclic quiver, maximal green sequences are realized as maximal paths in the Hasse quiver of the poset of support tilting modules. They also considered possible lengths of maximal green sequences. In this paper, we calculate possible lengths of maximal green sequences for a quiver of type $A$ or of type $\tilde{A}_{n,1}$ by using theory of tilting mutation.
Maximal green sequences are important objects in representation theory, cluster algebras, and string theory. The two fundamental questions about maximal green sequences are whether a given algebra admits such sequences and, if so, does it admit only finitely many. We study maximal green sequences in the case of string algebras and give sufficient conditions on the algebra that ensure an affirmative answer to these questions.
In this paper, we study the maximal length of maximal green sequences for quivers of type $\widetilde{\mathbf{D}}$ and $\widetilde{\mathbf{E}}$ by using the theory of tilting mutation. We show that the maximal length does not depend on the choice of the orientation, and determine it explicitly. Moreover, we give a program which counts all maximal green sequences by length for a given Dynkin/extended Dynkin quiver.
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 …
Maximal green sequences are particular sequences of quiver mutations appearing in the context of quantum dilogarithm identities and supersymmetric gauge theory. Interpreting maximal green sequences as paths in various natural posets arising in representation theory, we prove the finiteness of the number of maximal green sequences for cluster finite quivers, affine quivers and acyclic quivers with at most three vertices. We also give results concerning the possible numbers and lengths of these maximal green sequences.
Maximal green sequences are important objects in representation theory, cluster algebras, and string theory. It is an open problem to determine what lengths are achieved by the maximal green sequences of a quiver. We combine the combinatorics of surface triangulations and the basics of scattering diagrams to address this problem. Our main result is a formula for the length of minimal length maximal green sequences of quivers defined by triangulations of an annulus or a punctured disk.
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…
We use combinatorics of quivers and the corresponding surfaces to study maximal green sequences of minimal length for quivers of type $\mathbb{A}$. We prove that such sequences have length $n+t$, where $n$ is the number of vertices and $t$ is the number of 3-cycles in the quiver. Moreover, we develop a procedure that yields these minimal length maximal green sequences.
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 this paper we construct an unfolding for $c-$vectors of acyclic sign-skew symmetric matrices and we also prove that the sign-coherence property holds for acyclic sign-skew-symmetric matrices. Then we prove that every acyclic sign-skew-symmetric matrix admits a maximal green sequence.
Extending the notion of maximal green sequences to an abelian category, we characterize the stability functions, as defined by Rudakov, that induce a maximal green sequence in an abelian length category. Furthermore, we use $τ$-tilting theory to give a description of the wall and chamber structure of any finite dimensional algebra. Finally we introduce the notion of green paths in the wall and chamber structure of an algebra and show that green paths serve as geometrical generalization of maximal green sequences in this context.
In this paper we study the stability functions on abelian categories introduced by Rudakov in \cite{Ru} and their relation with torsion classes and maximal green sequences. Moreover we introduce a new kind of stability function which is compatible with the wall and chamber of the category.
In this article, we study the relationship among maximal green sequences, complete forward hom-orthogonal sequences and stability functions in abelian length categories. Mainly, we firstly give a one-to-one correspondence between maximal green sequences and complete forward hom-orthogonal sequences via mutual constructions, and then prove that a maximal green sequence can be induced by a central charge if and only if it satisfies crossing inequalities. As applications, we show that crossing inequalities can be computed by $c$-vectors for finite dimensional algebras; finally, we give the Rotati…
In this paper, we prove that each matrix in $M_{m\times n}(\mathbb Z_{\geq0})$ is uniformly column sign-coherent with respect to any $n\times n$ skew-symmetrizable integer matrix. Using such matrices, we introduce the definition of irreducible skew-symmatrizable matrix. Based on this, the existence of a maximal green sequence for a skew-symmetrizable matrices is reduced to the existence of a maximal green sequence for irreducible skew-symmetrizable matrices.
It is well known that any triangulation of a marked surface produces a quiver. In this paper we will provide a triangulation for orientable surfaces of genus $n$ with an arbitrary number interior marked points (called punctures) whose corresponding quiver has a maximal green sequence.
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…

Maximal green sequences appear in the study of Fomin-Zelevinsky's cluster algebras. They are useful for computing refined Donaldson-Thomas invariants, constructing twist automorphisms and proving the existence of theta bases and generic bases. We survey recent progress on their existence and properties and give a representation-theoretic proof of Greg Muller's theorem stating that full subquivers inherit maximal green sequences. In the appendix, Laurent Demonet describes maximal chains of torsion classes in terms of bricks generalizing a theorem by Igusa.
The "No Gap Conjecture" of Brüstle-Dupont-Pérotin states that the set of lengths of maximal green sequences for hereditary algebras over an algebraically closed field has no gaps. This follows from a stronger conjecture that any two maximal green sequences can be "polygonally deformed" into each other. We prove this stronger conjecture for all tame hereditary algebras over any field.
We prove quantum dilogarithm identities for $n$-cycle quivers. By the combinatorial approach of Keller, each side of our identity determines a maximal green sequence of quiver mutations. Thus we interpret our identities as factorizations of the refined Donaldson--Thomas invariant for the quiver with potential. Finally, we conjecture an upper bound on the possible lengths of maximal green sequences.
For every quiver (valued) of finite representation type we define a finitely presented group called a picture group. This group is very closely related to the cluster theory of the quiver. For example, positive expressions for the Coxeter element in the group are in bijection with maximal green sequences [IT17]. The picture group is derived from the semi-invariant picture for the quiver. We use this picture to construct a finite CW complex which (by [IT16]) is a $K(π,1)$ for this group. The cells are in bijection with cluster tilting objects. For example, in type $A_n$ there are a Catalan numb…
A cluster is a finite set of generators of a cluster algebra. The Laurent Phenomenon of Fomin and Zelevinsky says that any element of a cluster algebra can be written as a Laurent polynomial in terms of any cluster. The upper cluster algebra of a cluster algebra is the ring of rational functions that can be written as a Laurent polynomial in every cluster of the cluster algebra. By the Laurent phenomenon a cluster algebra is always contained in its upper cluster algebra, but they are not always equal. In 2014 it was conjectured that the equality of the cluster algebra and upper cluster algebra…
We construct maximal green sequences of maximal length for any affine quiver of type $A$. We determine which sets of modules (equivalently $c$-vectors) can occur in such sequences and, among these, which are given by a linear stability condition (also called a central charge). There is always at least one such maximal set which is linear. The proofs use representation theory and three kinds of diagrams shown in Figure 1. Background material is reviewed with details presented in two separate papers [arxiv:1706.06986] and [arXiv:1706.06503].
Let $Λ$ be a cluster-tilted algebra of finite type over an algebraically closed field and $B$ be one of the associated tilted algebras. We show that the $B$-modules, ordered form right to left in the Auslander-Reiten quiver of $Λ$ form a maximal forward hom-orthogonal sequence of $Λ$-modules whose dimension vectors form the $c$-vectors of a maximal green sequence for $Λ$. Thus we give a proof of Igusa-Todorov's conjecture.
Let $Q$ be an acyclic quiver and $\mathbf{s}$ be a sequence with elements in the vertex set $Q_0$. We describe an induced sequence of simple (backward) tilting in the bounded derived category $\mathcal{D}(Q)$, starting from the standard heart $\mathcal{H}_Q=\operatorname{mod}\mathbf{k}Q$ and ending at another heart $\mathcal{H}_\mathbf{s}$ in $\mathcal{D}(Q)$. Then we show that $\mathbf{s}$ is a green mutation sequence if and only if every heart in this simple tilting sequence is greater than or equal to $\mathcal{H}_Q[-1]$; it is maximal if and only if $\mathcal{H}_\mathbf{s}=\mathcal{H}_Q[-1…
