We show that the mutation class of a finite quiver without oriented cycles is finite if and only is the quiver is either Dynkin, extended Dynkin or has at most two vertices.
We study the Grothendieck classes of quiver cycles, i.e. invariant closed subvarieties of the representation space of a quiver. For quivers without oriented loops we show that the class of a quiver cycle is determined by quiver coefficients, which generalize the earlier studied quiver coefficients for equioriented quivers of type A. We conjecture that quiver coefficients satisfy positivity and finiteness properties. Our main result is a formula for the quiver coefficients for orbit closures of Dynkin type with rational singularities, which confirms the finiteness conjecture. This formula is ba…
We use a geometric description of $m$-cluster categories of Dynkin type $A$ to count the the number of coloured quivers in the $m$-mutation class of quivers of Dynkin type $A$. This is related to angulations of polygons and the cell-growth problem.
We describe a method for an explicit determination of indecomposable preprojective and preinjective representations for extended Dynkin quivers by vector spaces and matrices. This method uses tilting theory and the explicit knowledge of indecomposable modules over the corresponding canonical algebra of domestic type.
As a continuation of the previous paper, we find a combinatorial interpretation of Dorey's rule for type $C_n$ via twisted Auslander-Reiten quivers (AR-quivers) of type $D_{n+1}$, which are combinatorial AR-quivers related to certain Dynkin diagram automorphisms. Combinatorial properties of twisted AR-quivers are useful to understand not only Dorey's rule but also other notions in the representation theory of the quantum affine algebra $U_q'(C_n^{(1)})$ such as denominator formulas. In addition, unlike twisted adapted classes of type $A_{2n-1}$ in the previous paper, we show twisted AR-quivers…
We show that for a Dynkin quiver $Q$ of type $E_7$ with a specific orientation, the path algebra $KQ$ has no slope function of the form $μ=\fracθ{\dim}$ that defines a total stability condition. This gives a counterexample to a conjecture of Reineke.
A desingularization of arbitrary quiver Grassmannians for representations of Dynkin quivers is constructed in terms of quiver Grassmannians for an algebra derived equivalent to the Auslander algebra of the quiver.
We derive a geometric model for the module category $\operatorname{mod} \mathbf{k} Q$ of a Dynkin quiver $Q$ via the heart of a total stability condition on the bounded derived category of $\operatorname{mod} \mathbf{k} Q$. As an application, we prove Reineke's conjecture that there is a stability function on $\operatorname{mod} \mathbf{k} Q$ making any indecomposables stable.
We classify the singularities in the unframed Nakajima quiver varieties associated with extended Dynkin quivers and the corresponding minimal imaginary root with a small restriction on the parameter and use this to construct a number of hyper-Kähler cobordisms between binary polyhedral spaces.
We introduce and study the twisted adapted $r$-cluster point and its combinatorial Auslander-Reiten quivers, called twisted AR-quivers and folded AR-quivers, of type $A_{2n+1}$ which are closely related to twisted Coxeter elements and the non-trivial Dynkin diagram automorphism. As applications of the study, we prove that folded AR-quivers encode crucial information on the representation theory of quantum affine algebra $U_q'(B^{(1)}_{n+1})$ such as Dorey's rule and denominator formulas.
Let $Q$ be a connected quiver with no oriented cycles, $k$ the field of complex numbers and $P$ a projective representation of $Q$. We study the adjoint action of the automorphism group $\Aut_{kQ} P$ on the space of radical endomorphisms $\radE_{kQ}P$. Using generic equivalence, we show that the quiver $Q$ has the property that there exists a dense open $\Aut_{kQ} P$-orbit in $\radE_{kQ} P$, for all projective representations $P$, if and only if $Q$ is a Dynkin quiver. This gives a new characterisation of Dynkin quivers.
Two classes of avalanche-finite matrices and their critical groups (integer cokernels) are studied from the viewpoint of chip-firing/sandpile dynamics, namely, the Cartan matrices of finite root systems and the McKay-Cartan matrices for finite subgroups G of general linear groups. In the root system case, the recurrent and superstable configurations are identified explicitly and are related to minuscule dominant weights. In the McKay-Cartan case for finite subgroups of the special linear group, the cokernel is related to the abelianization of the subgroup G. In the special case of the classica…
In this paper, we compute the product structure of the Hochschild cohomology of preprojective algebras of quivers of type D and E over a field of characteristic zero.
For a stability condition $σ$ on a triangulated category, Dimitrov-Katzarkov introduced the notion of a $σ$-exceptional collection. In this paper, we study full $σ$-exceptional collections in the derived category of an acyclic quiver. In particular, we prove that any stability condition $σ$ on the derived category of a Dynkin quiver admits a full $σ$-exceptional collection.
The Hochschild homology/cohomology an associative algebra, together with the Connes differential, the contraction map and the Lie derivative, forms the structure of calculus. In this paper we compute explicitely the calculus structure of preprojective algebras of Dynkin quivers over a field of characteristic zero. This also completes the work in math.AG/0502301, where the Batalin-Vilkovisky structure of the Hochschild cohomology of preprojective algebras of non-Dynkin quivers are computed and the calculus can be easily computed from that.
We use the Kempf-Lascoux-Weyman geometric technique in order to determine the minimal free resolutions of some orbit closures of quivers. As a consequence, we obtain that for Dynkin quivers orbit closures of 1-step representations are normal with rational singularities. For Dynkin quivers of type $A$, we describe explicit minimal generators of the defining ideals of orbit closures of 1-step representations. Using this, we provide an algorithm for type $A$ quivers for describing an efficient set of generators of the defining ideal of the orbit closure of any representation.
Let M and N be two representations of an extended Dynkin quiver such that the orbit O_N of N is contained in the orbit closure \bar{O_M} and has codimension two. We show that the pointed variety $(\bar{O_M},N)$ is smoothly equivalent to a simple surface singularity of type A_n, or to the cone over a rational normal curve.
These notes provide three contributions to the (well-established) representation theory of Dynkin and Euclidean quivers. They should be helpful as part of a direct approach to study representations of quivers, and they may shed some new light on properties of Dynkin and Euclidean quivers. Part 1 deals with the case A (see arXiv:1304.5720). Part 2 concerns the case D. We show that the category of representation of D_n contains a full subcategory which is equivalent to the category of representations of a quiver of type D_{n-1} such that the remaining indecomposable representations are thin. Thi…
We use the geometric technique, developed by Weyman, to calculate the resolution of orbit closures of representations of Dynkin quivers with every vertex being source or sink. We use this resolution to derive the normality of such orbit closures. As a consequence we obtain the normality of certain orbit closures of type E.
For Dynkin quivers, we find the Laurent polynomials $\widetilde{X}_{a, c}^{b}(v)$ and use $\widetilde{X}_{a, c}^{b}(v)$ to construct the Hall algebra $\hc_v(\cc(\cp))$ over $\mz[v, v^{-1}]$, where $\widetilde{X}_{a, c}^{b}(|\mf_q|)$'s are structure constants used by Bridgeland. The Laurent polynomials $\widetilde{X}_{a, c}^{b}(v)$ are explicitly given in $A_1$ case. As an application, we obtain the full quantum groups $U_t(\sg)$ associated to the Dynkin quivers for arbitrary $t\not=0,\pm1$.
Extending the main result of Part 1, in the first part of this paper we show that every quiver Grassmannian of a representation of a quiver of extended Dynkin type $D$ has a decomposition into affine spaces. In the case of real root representations of small defect, the non-empty cells are in one-to-one correspondence to certain, so called non-contradictory, subsets of the vertex set of a fixed tree-shaped coefficient quiver. In the second part, we use this characterization to determine the generating functions of the Euler characteristics of the quiver Grassmannians (resp. $F$-polynomials). Al…
This paper studies silted algebras, namely, endomorphism algebras of 2-term silting complexes, over path algebras of Dynkin quivers. We will describe an algorithm to produce all basic 2-term silting complexes over the path algebra of a Dynkin quiver, and use this algorithm to compute some examples.
For a Dynkin quiver $Q$ of type ADE and a sum $β$ of simple roots, we construct a bimodule over the quantum loop algebra and the quiver Hecke algebra of the corresponding type via equivariant K-theory, imitating Ginzburg-Reshetikhin-Vasserot's geometric realization of the quantum affine Schur-Weyl duality. Our construction is based on Hernandez-Leclerc's isomorphism between a certain graded quiver variety and the space of representations of the quiver $Q$ of dimension vector $β$. We identify the functor induced from our bimodule with Kang-Kashiwara-Kim's generalized quantum affine Schur-Weyl d…
With the help of Lusztig's canonical basis, we study local intersection cohomology of the Zariski closures of orbits of representations of a quiver of type A, D or E. In particular, we characterize the rationally smooth orbits and prove that orbit closures are smooth if and only if they are rationally smooth. This provides an analogue of theorems of V. Deodhar, and J. Carrell and D. Peterson on Schubert varieties.
The irreducible components of the variety of all modules over the preprojective algebra and MV cycles both index bases of the universal enveloping algebra of the positive part of a semisimple Lie algebra canonically. To relate these two objects Baumann and Kamnitzer associate a cycle in the affine Grassmannian for a given module. It is conjectured that the ring of functions of the T-fixed point subscheme of the associated cycle is isomorphic to the cohomology ring of the quiver Grassmannian of the module. I give a proof of part of this conjecture. Given this conjecture, I give a proof of the r…
In this paper, we describe a general setting for dimer models on cylinders over Dynkin diagrams which in type A reduces to the well studied case of dimer models on a disc. We prove that all Berenstein--Fomin--Zelevinsky quivers for Schubert cells in a symmetric Kac--Moody algebra give rise to dimer models on the cylinder over the corresponding Dynkin diagram. We also give an independent proof of a result of Buan, Iyama, Reiten and Smith that the corresponding superpotentials are rigid using the dimer model structure of the quivers.
In this paper we show that for a simply-laced root system a choice of $C$ gives rise to a natural construction of the Dynkin diagram, in which vertices of the diagram correspond to $C$-orbits in $R$; moreover, it gives an identification of $R$ with a certain subset $Ihat$ of $I x Z_{2h}$, where $h$ is the Coxeter number. The set $Ihat$ has a natural quiver structure; we call it the periodic Auslander-Reiten quiver. This gives a combinatorial construction of the root system associated with the Dynkin diagram $I$: roots are vertices of $Ihat$, and the root lattice and the inner product admit an …
The famous pentagon identity for quantum dilogarithms has a generalization for every Dynkin quiver, due to Reineke. A more advanced generalization is associated with a pair of alternating Dynkin quivers, due to Keller. The description and proof of Keller's identities involves cluster algebras and cluster categories, and the statement of the identity is implicit. In this paper we describe Keller's identities explicitly, and prove them by a dimension counting argument. Namely, we consider quiver representations $\boldsymbol{\mathrm{Rep}}_γ$ together with a superpotential function $W_γ$, and calc…
Inspired by recent work of Cerulli-Feigin-Reineke on desingularizations of quiver Grassmannians of representations of Dynkin quivers, we obtain desingularizations in considerably more general situations and in particular for Grassmannians of modules over iterated tilted algebras of Dynkin type. Our desingularization map is constructed from Nakajima's desingularization map for graded quiver varieties.

We show that if a connected, Hom-finite, Krull-Schmidt triangulated category has an Auslander-Reiten quiver component with Dynkin tree class then the category has Auslander-Reiten triangles and that component is the entire quiver. This is an analogue for triangulated categories of a theorem of Auslander, and extends a previous result of Scherotzke. We also show that if there is a quiver component with extended Dynkin tree class, then other components must also have extended Dynkin class or one of a small set of infinite trees, provided there is a non-zero homomorphism between the components. T…
Let $\Bbbk$ be an algebraically closed field, $Q$ a finite quiver, and denote by $\mathop{\mathrm{rep}}_Q^{\mathbf{d}}$ the affine $\Bbbk$-scheme of representations of $Q$ with a fixed dimension vector ${\mathbf{d}}$. Given a representation $M$ of $Q$ with dimension vector ${\mathbf{d}}$, the set ${\mathcal{O}}_M$ of points in $\mathop{\mathrm{rep}}_Q^{\mathbf{d}}(\Bbbk)$ isomorphic as representations to $M$ is an orbit under an action on $\mathop{\mathrm{rep}}_Q^{\mathbf{d}}(\Bbbk)$ of a product of general linear groups. The orbit ${\mathcal{O}}_M$ and its Zariski closure $\overline{\mathcal{…
Let $Q$ be a quiver of extended Dynkin type $D$. In this first of two papers, we show that the quiver Grassmannian $Gr_e(M)$ has a decomposition into affine spaces for every dimension vector $e$ and every indecomposable representation $M$ of defect $-1$ and defect $0$, with exception of the non-Schurian representations in homogeneous tubes. We characterize the affine spaces in terms of the combinatorics of a fixed coefficient quiver for $M$. The method of proof is to exhibit explicit equations for the Schubert cells of $Gr_e(M)$ and to solve this system of equations successively in linear term…
We study fundamental group of the exchange graphs for the bounded derived category D(Q) of a Dynkin quiver Q and the finite-dimensional derived category D(Γ_N Q) of the Calabi-Yau-N Ginzburg algebra associated to Q. In the case of D(Q), we prove that its space of stability conditions (in the sense of Bridgeland) is simply connected; as applications, we show that its Donanldson-Thomas invariant can be calculated via a quantum dilogarithm function on exchange graphs. In the case of D(Γ_N Q), we show that faithfulness of the Seidel-Thomas braid group action (which is known for Q of type A or N = …
This paper investigates a certain 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated category D whose Auslander-Reiten quiver is ZA_{\infty}. We show that the cluster tilting subcategories of D form a so-called cluster structure, and we classify these subcategories in terms of what one may call `triangulations of the infinity-gon'. This is reminiscent of the cluster category C of type A_n which is a 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated category whose Auslander-Reiten quiver is a quotient of ZA_n. The cluster tilting subcategories of C form a cluster structure and they are classified in terms of triangulations of the (n+3)-gon. T…
For a Dynkin quiver $Q$ (of type ADE), we consider a central completion of the convolution algebra of the equivariant K-group of a certain Steinberg type graded quiver variety. We observe that it is affine quasi-hereditary and prove that its category of finite-dimensional modules is identified with a block of Hernandez-Leclerc's monoidal category $\mathcal{C}_Q$ of modules over the quantum loop algebra $U_q(L\mathfrak{g})$ via Nakajima's homomorphism. As an application, we show that Kang-Kashiwara-Kim's generalized quantum affine Schur-Weyl duality functor gives an equivalence between the cate…
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 this paper we compute b-functions (or Bernstein-Sato polynomials) of various semi-invariants of quivers. The main tool is an explicit relation for the b-functions between semi-invariants that correspond to each other under reflection functors (or castling transforms). This enables us to compute recursively the b-functions for all Dynkin quivers, and extended Dynkin quivers with prehomogeneous dimension vectors.
For any acyclic quiver, we establish a family of structure isomorphisms for its cohomological Hall algebra (CoHA). The family is parameterized by partitions of the quiver into Dynkin subquivers. For each such partition, we write the domain of our isomorphism as a tensor product of subalgebras in two ways. In the first, each tensor factor is isomorphic to the CoHA of the quiver with a single vertex and no arrows. In the second, the tensor factors are each isomorphic to the CoHAs of the corresponding Dynkin subquivers. When the quiver is already an orientation of a simply-laced Dynkin diagram, o…
Any moduli space of representations of a quiver (possibly with oriented cycles) has an embedding as a dense open subvariety into a moduli space of representations of a bipartite quiver having the same type of singularities. A connected quiver is Dynkin or extended Dynkin if and only if all moduli spaces of its representations are smooth.
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.
As it is known, finitely presented quivers correspond to Dynkin graphs (Gabriel, 1972) and tame quivers -- to extended Dynkin graphs (Donovan and Freislich, Nazarova, 1973). In the article "Locally scalar reresentations of graphs in the category of Hilbers spaces" (Func. Anal. and Appl., 2005) authors showed the way to tranfer these results to Hilbert spaces, constructed Coxeter functors and proved an analogue of Gabriel theorem fol locally scalar (orthoscalar in the sequel) representations (up to the unitary equivalence). The category of orthoscalar representations of a quiver can be consider…
A numeric function $ρ$: $ρ(k)=1+\frac{k-1}{k+1}, k \in N$ was considered in [1]. In its terms criterions of finite representability and tameness of marked quivers, posets with equivalence and dyadic posets can be obtained; Dynkin schemes and extended schemes also can be characterized. In this paper authors consider the connection of function $ρ$ with locally-scalar representations [2] of extended Dynkin graphs. Then a family of functions $ρ_n$ is defined -- a generalization of function $ρ$, which plays an analogous part for more wide class of graphs. Also some properties of functions $ρ$ and $…
In a previous paper the authors have attached to each Dynkin quiver an associative algebra. The definition is categorical and the algebra is used to construct desingularizations of arbitrary quiver Grassmannians. In the present paper we prove that this algebra is isomorphic to an algebra constructed by Hernandez-Leclerc defined combinatorially and used to describe certain graded Nakajima quiver varieties. This approach is used to get an explicit realization of the orbit closures of representations of Dynkin quivers as affine quotients.
In association with a finite dimensional algebra A of global dimension two, we consider the endomorphism algebra of A, viewed as an object in the triangulated hull of the orbit category of the bounded derived category, in the sense of Amiot. We characterize the algebras A of global dimension two such that its endomorphism algebra is isomorphic to a cluster-tilted algebra with a cyclically oriented quiver.Furthermore, in the case that the cluster tilted algebra with a cyclically oriented quiver is of Dynkin or extended Dynkin type then A is derived equivalent to a hereditary algebra of the same…
We define Bernstein-Gelfand-Ponomarev reflection functors in the cluster categories of hereditary algebras. They are triangle equivalences which provide a natural quiver realization of the "truncated simple reflections" on the set of almost positive roots $Φ_{\ge -1}$ associated to a finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebra. Combining with the tilting theory in cluster categories developed in [4], we give a unified interpretation via quiver representations for the generalized associahedra associated to the root systems of all Dynkin types (a simply-laced or non-simply-laced). This confirms th…
Zamolodchikov periodicity is a property of certain discrete dynamical systems associated with quivers. It has been shown by Keller to hold for quivers obtained as products of two Dynkin diagrams. We prove that the quivers exhibiting Zamolodchikov periodicity are in bijection with pairs of commuting Cartan matrices of finite type. Such pairs were classified by Stembridge in his study of $W$-graphs. The classification includes products of Dynkin diagrams along with four other infinite families, and eight exceptional cases. We provide a proof of Zamolodchikov periodicity for all four remaining in…
We study the representation theory of Dynkin quivers of type A in abstract stable homotopy theories, including those associated to fields, rings, schemes, differential-graded algebras, and ring spectra. Reflection functors, (partial) Coxeter functors, and Serre functors are defined in this generality and these equivalences are shown to be induced by universal tilting modules, certain explicitly constructed spectral bimodules. In fact, these universal tilting modules are spectral refinements of classical tilting complexes. As a consequence we obtain split epimorphisms from the spectral Picard g…
In this paper, we introduce generalized quiver varieties which include as special cases classical and cyclic quiver varieties. The geometry of generalized quiver varieties is governed by a finitely generated algebra P: the algebra P is self-injective if the quiver Q is of Dynkin type, and coincides with the preprojective algebra in the case of classical quiver varieties. We show that in the Dynkin case the strata of generalized quiver varieties are in bijection with the isomorphism classes of objects in proj P, and that their degeneration order coincides with the Jensen-Su-Zimmermann's degener…
