    Semicontinuous maps on module varieties

    No full text
    We study semicontinuous maps on varieties of modules over finite-dimensional algebras. We prove that truncated Euler maps are upper or lower semicontinuous. This implies that g-vectors and E-invariants of modules are upper semicontinuous. We also discuss inequalities of generic values of some upper semicontinuous maps

    Quivers with potentials associated to triangulated surfaces, Part III: Tagged triangulations and cluster monomials

    No full text
    To each tagged triangulation of a surface with marked points and non-empty boundary we associate a quiver with potential in such a way that whenever we apply a flip to a tagged triangulation the Jacobian algebra of the quiver with potential (QP) associated to the resulting tagged triangulation is isomorphic to the Jacobian algebra of the QP obtained by mutating the QP of the original one. Furthermore, we show that any two tagged triangulations are related by a sequence of flips compatible with QP-mutation. We also prove that, for each of the QPs constructed, the ideal of the non-completed path algebra generated by the cyclic derivatives is admissible and the corresponding quotient is isomorphic to the Jacobian algebra. These results, which generalize some of the second author's previous work for ideal triangulations, are then applied to prove properties of cluster monomials, like linear independence, in the cluster algebra associated to the given surface by Fomin, Shapiro and Thurston (with an arbitrary system of coefficients)

    Caldero-Chapoton algebras

    Motivated by the representation theory of quivers with potential introduced by Derksen, Weyman and Zelevinsky and by work of Caldero and Chapoton, who gave explicit formulae for the cluster variables of cluster algebras of Dynkin type, we associate a Caldero-Chapoton algebra CC(A) to any (possibly infinite-dimensional) basic algebra A. By definition, CC(A) is (as a vector space) generated by the Caldero-Chapoton functions CC(M) of the decorated representations M of A. If A = P(Q,W) is the Jacobian algebra defined by a 2-acyclic quiver Q with non-degenerate potential W, then we have C(Q) ⊆ CC(A)⊆ U(Q) , where C(Q) and U(Q) are the cluster algebra and the upper cluster algebra associated to Q. The set B(A) of generic Caldero-Chapoton functions is parametrized by the strongly reduced components of the varieties of representations of the Jacobian algebra P(Q,W) and was introduced by Geiss, Leclerc and Schr ̈oer. Plamondon parametrized the strongly reduced components for finite-dimensional basic algebras. We generalize this to arbitrary basic algebras. Furthermore, we prove a decomposition theorem for strongly reduced components. We define B(A) for arbitrary A, and we conjecture that B(A) is a basis of the Caldero-Chapoton algebra CC(A). Thanks to the decomposition theorem, all elements of B(A) can be seen as generalized cluster monomials. As another application, we obtain a new proof for the sign-coherence of g-vectors

    Linear independence of cluster monomials for skew-symmetric cluster algebras

    No full text
    Fomin-Zelevinsky conjectured that in any cluster algebra, the cluster monomials are linearly independent and that the exchange graph and cluster complex are independent of the choice of coefficients. We confrm these conjectures for all skew-symmetric cluster algebras

    Let Σ:=(Σ,M,P)\boldsymbol{\Sigma}:=(\Sigma,\mathbb{M},\mathbb{P}) be a surface with marked points MΣ\mathbb{M}\subset\partial\Sigma\neq\varnothing on the boundary, and punctures PΣΣ\mathbb{P}\subset\Sigma\setminus\partial\Sigma, and TT an arbitrary tagged triangulation of Σ\boldsymbol{\Sigma} in the sense of Fomin-Shapiro-Thurston. The Jacobian algebra A(T):=P(Q(T),W(T))A(T):=\mathcal{P}(Q(T), W(T)) corresponding to the non-degenerate potential W(T)W(T) defined by Cerulli Irelli and the second author is tame, as shown by Schr\"{o}er and the first two authors. In this paper, we show that there is a natural isomorphism πT:Lam(Σ)DecIrrτ(A(T))\pi_T:\operatorname{Lam}(\boldsymbol{\Sigma})\rightarrow\operatorname{DecIrr}^\tau(A(T)) of tame partial KRS-monoids that intertwines dual shear coordinates with respect to TT, and generic gg-vectors of irreducible components. Here, Lam(Σ)\operatorname{Lam}(\boldsymbol{\Sigma}) is the set of laminations of Σ\boldsymbol{\Sigma} considered by Musiker-Schiffler-Williams, with the disjoint union of non-intersecting laminations as partial monoid operation. On the other hand, DecIrrτ(A(T))\operatorname{DecIrr}^\tau(A(T)) denotes the set of generically τ\tau-reduced irreducible components of the decorated representation varieties of A(T)A(T), with the direct sum of generically EE-orthogonal irreducible components as partial monoid operation, where EE is the symmetrized EE-invariant of Derksen-Weyman-Zelevinsky, E(,)=dimHomA(T)(,τ())+dimHomA(T)(,τ())E(-,\bullet)=\dim\operatorname{Hom}_{A(T)}(-,\tau(\bullet))+\dim\operatorname{Hom}_{A(T)}(\bullet,\tau(-)).Comment: v2: Main result vastly generalized, from tagged triangulations of signature zero, to arbitrary tagged triangulations; 42 pages, 13 figure
