Abstract

In 2009, Keller and Yang categorified quiver mutation by interpreting it in terms of equivalences between derived categories. Their approach was based on Ginzburg's Calabi-Yau algebras and on Derksen-Weyman-Zelevinsky's mutation of quivers with potential. Recently, Matthew Pressland has generalized mutation of quivers with potential to that of ice quivers with potential. In this paper, we show that his rule yields derived equivalences between the associated relative Ginzburg algebras, which are special cases of Yeung's deformed relative Calabi-Yau completions arising in the theory of relative Calabi-Yau structures due to To\"en and Brav-Dyckerhoff. We illustrate our results on examples arising in the work of Baur-King-Marsh on dimer models and cluster categories of Grassmannians. We also give a categorification of mutation at frozen vertices as it appears in recent work of Fraser-Sherman-Bennett on positroid cluster structures.

Quasi-Whittaker supermodules over Lie superalgebras

In this paper, we develop a general theory of quasi-Whittaker supermodules over Lie superalgebras induced from an arbitrary ideal. We determine the quasi-Whittaker vectors in universal supermodules, establish an irreducibility criterion, and classify several families of irreducible supermodules. The odd part produces a new irreducibility phenomenon absent from the Lie algebra setting. As applications, we determine all irreducible quasi-Whittaker supermodules over the $N=1$ super Schr\"odinger algebra and the $N=1$ $\frac{3}{2}$-conformal Galilei superalgebra, and over the complete spectrum-generating superalgebra in a special case.

Rankin--Selberg integrals of opposite conductor--one newforms

Let $F$ be a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero and let $n\geq2$. For $r=n,n+1$, let $\Pi_r$ be an irreducible tempered representation of ${\rm GL}_r(F)$ of conductor one and with trivial central character. We evaluate the Rankin--Selberg integral of opposite newforms in $\Pi_{n+1}\times \Pi_n$ explicitly and show that its central value is nonzero. As an application, this implies a case of Disegni--Zhang's conjecture on the nonvanishing of local relative characters.

Obstructions to Jacobi-Finiteness of Quivers with Potentials

We show that Jacobi-finite potentials need not exist on finite $2$-acyclic quivers. Our main tool is a matrix-valued Golod--Shafarevich--Vinberg inequality for quotients of completed path algebras by finitely many, possibly nonhomogeneous, topological relations. Applied to cyclic derivatives, it yields a potential-dependent obstruction to the finite-dimensionality of completed Jacobian algebras. We then construct a purely quiver-level criterion excluding every Jacobi-finite potential on a given quiver, and exhibit a family of quivers for which every potential has an infinite-dimensional Jacobian algebra.
