Replacing triangulated categories with something better

Gelfand and Manin in their 1988 book on homological algebra write that the non-functoriality of cones means that "something is going wrong in the axioms of a triangulated category. Unfortunately at th …

Why are coherent sheaves on $\Bbb P^1$ derived equivalent to representations of the Kronecke...

Let $\mathcal O$ be the structure sheaf of $\mathbb P^1$. Then $\mathcal O \oplus \mathcal O(1)$ is rigid and generates the derived category of coherent sheaves on $\mathbb P^1$. Thus, it is a tilti …

What do cluster algebras tell us about Grassmannians?

One simple answer is to talk about the totally positive part of $(G_{k,n})_{> 0}$, the part of the Grassmannian where all the maximal minors (=Plücker coordinates) are real and positive. Naively, if …

Statistics of irreps of S_n that can be read off the Young diagram, and consequences of Kero...

There is a beautiful interpretation of $f(\chi)$ (that is to say, of the length of the first column of the partition), though it isn't very representation-theoretic. One way to generate Plancherel mea …

Easy way to understand theta basis for X-cluster algebras of finite type?

For $\mathcal A$-cluster algebras of finite type, it is very easy to describe the theta-basis: it consists of the cluster monomials. Is there any similarly easy way to describe the theta-basis for $\m …

Which cluster algebras have been categorified?

Jan's answer includes many excellent references. I will try to give a few quick comments. First of all, although the original Buan-Marsh-Reineke-Reiten-Todorov paper contained some results which wer …

Is it possible that the GHKK canonical basis for cluster algebras is the Lusztig/Kashiwara d...

I think there is good reason to think the answer is "no". In rank 2, the theta basis agrees with the greedy basis (arXiv:1508.01404). Greedy basis elements are indecomposable positive elements (see …

Quiver representations

Neither of the references linked in the comments seem to solve the OP's question. Gabriel's theorem says that the indecomposables correspond to positive roots. The way this correspondence works is a …

The Fukaya category of a simple singularity (reference request)

This sounds wrong to me. I think $D^b(Q)$ should be replaced by the derived category of finite length modules over the corresponding preprojective algebra of affine type. Homological mirror symmetry …

ubiquity, importance of path algebras

I once mentioned in a talk (to a group of algebraic combinatorialists) that "A quiver is just a directed graph". An audience-member stuck up his hand to say "A quiver is a directed graph with pretens …

Closures of orbits in the space of representations of a quiver

Let $Q$ be a quiver, and let $d=(d_i)$ be a dimension vector. We can consider Rep($Q,d$), the affine space consisting of representations of $Q$ with dimension vector $d$. The general linear $GL(d)= \p …

Do morphisms of finitely-decomposable Quiver representations map indecomposables nicely?

There is another way to relate representations of $Q$ to representations of $Q'$: reflection functors. These are quite easy to describe combinatorially. One downside is that the way they work is by …

Why is the representation dimension of an Artin algebra never equal to 1?

First of all, you have to assume that $A$ is non-semi-simple. For a semi-simple Artin algebra, the representation dimension is defined to be 1. For a non-semi-simple algebra, the representation di …

Quiver representations of type $D_n$ mutation class

The quiver given in the question has five simple modules, six which correspond to a single arrow, and the remaining representations have support as follows: 123, 124, 125, 235, 345, 1235, 12235 (note …

What's an illustrative example of a tame algebra?

For the Kronecker quiver (two vertices, two arrows in the same direction) and dimension vector (1,1), over an algebraically closed ground field, the indecomposables are naturally parameterized by poin …
