    On triangulations, quivers with potentials and mutations

    No full text
    In this survey article we give a brief account of constructions and results concerning the quivers with potentials associated to triangulations of surfaces with marked points. Besides the fact that the mutations of these quivers with potentials are compatible with the flips of triangulations, we mention some recent results on the representation type of Jacobian algebras and the uniqueness of non-degenerate potentials. We also mention how the quivers with potentials associated to triangulations give rise to CY2 and CY3 triangulated categories that have turned out to be useful in the subject of stability conditions and in theoretical physics

    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

    No full text
    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

    A note on species realizations and nondegeneracy of potentials

    No full text
    In this note, we show that a mutation theory of species with potential can be defined so that a certain class of skew-symmetrizable integer matrices have a species realization admitting a nondegenerate potential. This gives a partial affirmative answer to a question raised by Jan Geuenich and Daniel Labardini-Fragoso. We also provide an example of a class of skew-symmetrizable [Formula: see text] integer matrices, which are not globally unfoldable nor strongly primitive, and that have a species realization admitting a nondegenerate potential. </jats:p
