The coloured mutation class of $\mathbb{D}_n$- quivers and their application to $m$-cluster tilted algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we present an explicit and purely combinatorial characterization of the $m$-coloured quivers that appear within the $m$-coloured mutation class of a quiver of type $\mathbb{D}_n$. The $m$-coloured mutation, as defined by Buan and Thomas in \cite{BT}, generalises the well-known quiver mutation introduced by Fomin and Zelevinsky \cite{FZ}. Consequently, we derive a comprehensive description of the Gabriel quivers associated with $m$-cluster-tilted algebras of type $\mathbb{D}_n$. Notably, our characterization extends a result by Vatne, \cite{Va}, which we recover when $m=1$.
