Representation theory of partial relation extensions

Let C be a finite dimensional algebra of global dimension at most two. A partial relation extension is any trivial extension of C by a direct summand of its relation C-C-bimodule. When C is a tilted algebra, this construction provides an intermediate class of algebras between tilted and cluster tilted algebras. The text investigates the representation theory of partial relation extensions. When C is tilted, any complete slice in the Auslander-Reiten quiver of C embeds as a local slice in the Auslander-Reiten quiver of the partial relation extension; Moreover, a systematic way of producing partial relation extensions is introduced by considering direct sum decompositions of the potential arising from a minimal system of relations of C.

A note on sequential walks

This short note is devoted to motivate and clarify the notion of sequential walk introduced by the authors in a previous work. We also give some applications of this concept.

Split $t$-structures and torsion pairs in hereditary categories

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for torsion pairs in a hereditary category to be in bijection with $t$-structures in the bounded derived category of that hereditary category. We prove that the existence of a split $t$-structure with nontrivial heart in a semiconnected Krull-Schmidt category implies that this category is equivalent to the derived category of a hereditary category. We construct a bijection between split torsion pairs in the module category of a tilted algebra having a complete slice in the preinjective component with corresponding $t$-structures. Finally, we classify split $t$-structures in the derived category of a hereditary algebra.

The Representation Dimension of a Selfinjective Algebra of Wild Tilted Type

We prove that the representation dimension of a selfinjective algebra of wild tilted type is equal to three, and give an explicit construction of an Auslander generator of its module category. We also show that if a connected selfinjective algebra admits an acyclic generalised standard Auslander-Reiten component then its representation dimension is equal to three.

Cluster-tilted and quasi-tilted algebras

In this paper, we prove that relation-extensions of quasi-tilted algebras are 2-Calabi-Yau tilted. With the objective of describing the module category of a cluster-tilted algebra of euclidean type, we define the notion of reflection so that any two local slices can be reached one from the other by a sequence of reflections and coreflections. We then give an algorithmic procedure for constructing the tubes of a cluster-tilted algebra of euclidean type. Our main result characterizes quasi-tilted algebras whose relation-extensions are cluster-tilted of euclidean type.

Hochschild cohomology of relation extension algebras

Let $B$ be the split extension of a finite dimensional algebra $C$ by a $C$-$C$-bimodule $E$. We define a morphism of associative graded algebras $φ^*:\HH^*(B)\rightarrow \HH^*(C)$ from the Hochschild cohomology of $B$ to that of $C$, extending similar constructions for the first cohomology groups made and studied by Assem, Bustamante, Igusa, Redondo and Schiffler. In the case of a trivial extension $B=C\ltimes E$, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for each $φ^n$ to be surjective. We prove the surjectivity of $φ^1$ for a class of trivial extensions that includes relation extensions and hence cluster-tilted algebras. Finally, we study the kernel of $φ^1$ for any trivial extension, and give a more precise description of this kernel in the case of relation extensions.

On the first Hochschild cohomology group of a cluster-tilted algebra

Given a cluster-tilted algebra B, we study its first Hochschild cohomology group HH^1(B) with coefficients in the B-B-bimodule B. If C is a tilted algebra such that B is the relation extension of C, then we show that if C is constrained, or else if B is tame, then HH^1(B) is isomorphic, as a k-vector space, to the direct sum of HH^1(C) with k^{n\_{B,C}}, where n\_{B,C} is an invariant linking the bound quivers of B and C. In the representation-finite case, HH^1(B) can be read off simply by looking at the quiver of B.

Cluster automorphisms and compatibility of cluster variables

In this paper, we introduce a notion of unistructural cluster algebras, for which the set of cluster variables uniquely determines the clusters. We prove that cluster algebras of Dynkin type and cluster algebras of rank 2 are unistructural, then prove that if $\mathcal{A}$ is unistructural or of Euclidean type, then $f: \mathcal{A}\to \mathcal{A}$ is a cluster automorphism if and only if $f$ is an automorphism of the ambient field which restricts to a permutation of the cluster variables. In order to prove this result, we also investigate the Fomin-Zelevinsky conjecture that two cluster variables are compatible if and only if one does not appear in the denominator of the Laurent expansions of the other.

The first Hochschild cohomology group of a cluster-tilted algebra revisited

Given a cluster-tilted algebra B we study its first Hochschild cohomology group HH1(B) with coefficients in the B-B-bimodule B. If C is a tilted algebra such that B is the relation extension of C by E= Ext2(DC,C), then we prove that HH1(B) is isomorphic, as a vector space, to the direct sum of HH1(C) with HH1(B,E). This yields homological interpretations for results of the first and the fourth author with M.J. Redondo.

Modules over cluster-tilted algebras determined by their dimension vectors

We prove that indecomposable transjective modules over cluster-tilted algebras are uniquely determined by their dimension vectors. Similarly, we prove that for cluster-concealed algebras, rigid modules lifting to rigid objects in the corresponding cluster category are uniquely determined by their dimension vectors. Finally, we apply our results to a conjecture of Fomin and Zelevinsky on denominators of cluster variables.

On a category of cluster algebras

We introduce a category of cluster algebras with fixed initial seeds. This category has countable coproducts, which can be constructed combinatorially, but no products. We characterise isomorphisms and monomorphisms in this category and provide combinatorial methods for constructing special classes of monomorphisms and epimorphisms. In the case of cluster algebras from surfaces, we describe interactions between this category and the geometry of the surfaces.

Cluster Automorphisms

In this article, we introduce the notion of cluster automorphism of a given cluster algebra as a $\ZZ$-automorphism of the cluster algebra that sends a cluster to another and commutes with mutations. We study the group of cluster automorphisms in detail for acyclic cluster algebras and cluster algebras from surfaces, and we compute this group explicitly for the Dynkin types and the Euclidean types.

The higher relation bimodule

Given a finite dimensional algebra A of finite global dimension, we consider the trivial extension of A by the A-A-bimodule $\oplus_{i\ge 2} \Ext^2_A(DA,A)$, which we call the higher relation bimodule. We first give a recipe allowing to construct the quiver of this trivial extension in case A is a string algebra and then apply it to prove that, if A is gentle, then the tensor algebra of the higher relation bimodule is gentle.
