We apply spectral graph theory and a theorem of A'Campo to express the first and second coefficients of the Coxeter polynomials associated with certain bipartite quivers in terms of the degrees of the vertices in their underlying graphs. As a consequence, we provide a new proof of a result by Happel, expressing the second coefficient of the Coxeter polynomial of a tree in terms of its vertex degrees.
We develop a method to compute certain mutations of quivers with potentials and use this to construct an explicit family of non-degenerate potentials on the exceptional quiver $X_7$. We confirm a conjecture of Geiss-Labardini-Schroer by presenting a computer-assisted proof that over a ground field of characteristic 2, the Jacobian algebra of one member $W_0$ of this family is infinite-dimensional, whereas that of another member $W_1$ is finite-dimensional, implying that these potentials are not right equivalent. As a consequence, we draw some conclusions on the associated cluster categories, and in particular obtain a representation theoretic proof that there are no reddening mutation sequences for the quiver $X_7$. We also show that when the characteristic of the ground field differs from 2, the Jacobian algebras of $W_0$ and $W_1$ are both finite-dimensional. Thus $W_0$ seems to be the first known non-degenerate potential with the property that the finite-dimensionality of its Jacobian algebra depends upon the ground field.
Coxeter polynomials are important homological invariants that are defined for a large class of finite-dimensional algebras. It is of particular interest to develop methods to compute these polynomials. We define the notion of insertion of a poset into a triangular algebra at a vertex of its quiver and show that its Coxeter polynomial is controlled in a uniform way by two polynomials attached to the poset that we call refined Coxeter polynomials. Several properties of these polynomials are discussed. Applications include new symmetry properties for Coxeter polynomials of ordinal sums of posets, constructions of new algebras of cyclotomic type and interlaced towers of algebras.
We study two constructions related to the intervals of finite posets. The first one is a poset. The second one is more complicated. Loosely speaking it can be seen as a poset with some extra zero-relations. As main result, we show that these two constructions are equivalent at the level of derived categories.
We construct a new class of symmetric algebras of tame representation type that are also the endomorphism algebras of cluster tilting objects in 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated categories, hence all their non-projective indecomposable modules are $Ω$-periodic of period dividing 4. Our construction is based on the combinatorial notion of triangulation quivers, which arise naturally from triangulations of oriented surfaces with marked points. This class of algebras contains the algebras of quaternion type introduced and studied by Erdmann with relation to certain blocks of group algebras. On the other hand, it contains also the Jacobian algebras of the quivers with potentials associated by Fomin-Shapiro-Thurston and Labardini-Fragoso to triangulations of closed surfaces with punctures, hence our construction may serve as a bridge between the modular representation theory of finite groups and the theory of cluster algebras.
We observe that over an algebraically closed field, any finite-dimensional algebra is the endomorphism algebra of an m-cluster-tilting object in a triangulated m-Calabi-Yau category, where m is any integer greater than 2.
We define algebras of quasi-quaternion type, which are symmetric algebras of tame representation type whose stable module category has certain structure similar to that of the algebras of quaternion type introduced by Erdmann. We observe that symmetric tame algebras that are also 2-CY-tilted are of quasi-quaternion type. We present a combinatorial construction of such algebras by introducing the notion of triangulation quivers. The class of algebras that we get contains Erdmann's algebras of quaternion type on the one hand and the Jacobian algebras of the quivers with potentials associated by Labardini to triangulations of closed surfaces with punctures on the other hand, hence it serves as a bridge between modular representation theory of finite groups and cluster algebras.
Over any field of positive characteristic we construct 2-CY-tilted algebras that are not Jacobian algebras of quivers with potentials. As a remedy, we propose an extension of the notion of a potential, called hyperpotential, that allows to prove that certain algebras defined over fields of positive characteristic are 2-CY-tilted even if they do not arise from potentials. In another direction, we compute the fractionally Calabi-Yau dimensions of certain orbit categories of fractionally CY triangulated categories. As an application, we construct a cluster category of type $G_2$.
We show that many cluster-theoretic properties of the Markov quiver hold also for adjacency quivers of triangulations of once-punctured closed surfaces of arbitrary genus. Along the way we consider the class P of quivers introduced by Kontsevich and Soibelman, characterize the mutation-finite quivers that belong to that class and draw some conclusions regarding non-degenerate potentials on them.
We provide a far reaching derived equivalence classification of the cluster-tilted algebras of Dynkin type D and suggest standard forms for the derived equivalence classes. We believe that the classification is complete, but some subtle questions remain open. We introduce another notion of equivalence called good mutation equivalence which is slightly stronger than derived equivalence but is algorithmically more tractable, and give a complete classification together with standard forms.
We compute the Hochschild cohomology groups of gentle algebras and show that they are determined by the derived invariant introduced by Avella-Alaminos and Geiss.
We show that the quivers with potentials associated to ideal triangulations of marked surfaces with empty boundary are not rigid, and their completed Jacobian algebras are finite-dimensional and symmetric.
We compute the Hochschild cohomology groups of the cluster-tilted algebras of finite representation type.
We present a method to construct new tilting complexes from existing ones using tensor products, generalizing a result of Rickard. The endomorphism rings of these complexes are generalized matrix rings that are "componentwise" tensor products, allowing us to obtain many derived equivalences that have not been observed by using previous techniques. Particular examples include algebras generalizing the ADE-chain related to singularity theory, incidence algebras of posets and certain Auslander algebras or more generally endomorphism algebras of initial preprojective modules over path algebras of quivers. Many of these algebras are fractionally Calabi-Yau and we explicitly compute their CY dimensions. Among the quivers of these algebras one can find shapes of lines, rectangles and triangles.
We obtain a complete derived equivalence classification of the cluster-tilted algebras of Dynkin type E. There are 67, 416, 1574 algebras in types E6, E7 and E8 which turn out to fall into 6, 14, 15 derived equivalence classes, respectively. This classification can be achieved computationally and we outline an algorithm which has been implemented to carry out this task. We also make the classification explicit by giving standard forms for each derived equivalence class as well as complete lists of the algebras contained in each class; as these lists are quite long they are provided as supplementary material to this paper. From a structural point of view the remarkable outcome of our classification is that two cluster-tilted algebras of Dynkin type E are derived equivalent if and only if their Cartan matrices represent equivalent bilinear forms over the integers which in turn happens if and only if the two algebras are connected by a sequence of "good" mutations. This is reminiscent of the derived equivalence classification of cluster-tilted algebras of Dynkin type A, but quite different from the situation in Dynkin type D where a far-reaching classification has been obtained using similar methods as in the present paper but some very subtle questions are still open.
We classify the connected quivers with the property that all the quivers in their mutation class have the same number of arrows. These are the ones having at most two vertices, or the ones arising from triangulations of marked bordered oriented surfaces of two kinds: either surfaces with non-empty boundary having exactly one marked point on each boundary component and no punctures, or surfaces without boundary having exactly one puncture. This combinatorial property has also a representation-theoretic counterpart: to each such quiver there is a naturally associated potential such that the Jacobian algebras of all the QP in its mutation class are derived equivalent.
We characterize the marked bordered unpunctured oriented surfaces with the property that all the Jacobian algebras of the quivers with potentials arising from their triangulations are derived equivalent. These are either surfaces of genus g with b boundary components and one marked point on each component, or the disc with 4 or 5 points on its boundary. We show that for each such marked surface, all the quivers in the mutation class have the same number of arrows, and the corresponding Jacobian algebras constitute a complete derived equivalence class of finite-dimensional algebras whose members are connected by sequences of Brenner-Butler tilts. In addition, we provide explicit quivers for each of these classes. We consider also 10 of the 11 exceptional finite mutation classes of quivers not arising from triangulations of marked surfaces excluding the one of the quiver X_7, and show that all the finite-dimensional Jacobian algebras in such class (for suitable choice of potentials) are derived equivalent only for the classes of the quivers E_6^(1,1) and X_6.
We provide a categorical interpretation of a well-known identity from linear algebra as an isomorphism of certain functors between triangulated categories arising from finite dimensional algebras. As a consequence, we deduce that the Serre functor of a finite dimensional triangular algebra A has always a lift, up to shift, to a product of suitably defined reflection functors in the category of perfect complexes over the trivial extension algebra of A.
