Quivers with subadditive labelings: classification and integrability (Q2193033): Difference between revisions

In their previous work [Am. J. Math. 141, No. 2, 447--484 (2019; Zbl 1442.37082)] the authors have shown that quivers with strictly subadditive labelings are exactly the quivers exhibiting Zamolodchikov periodicity. The aim of this paper is to classify all quivers with subadditive labelings. The authors conjecture them to exhibit a certain form of integrability, namely, as the \(T\)-system dynamics proceeds, the values at each vertex satisfy a linear recurrence. Conversely, they show that every quiver integrable in this sense is necessarily one of the 19 items in their classification. For the quivers of type \(\widehat{A}\otimes A\) they express the coefficients of the recurrences in terms of the partition functions for domino tilings of a cylinder, called Goncharov-Kenyon Hamiltonians. They also consider tropical \(T\)-systems of type \(\widehat{A}\otimes A\) and explain how affine slices exhibit solitonic behavior, i.e., soliton resolution and speed conservation. Throughout, they conjecture how the results in the paper are expected to generalize from \(\widehat{A}\otimes A\) to all other quivers in their classification. This paper contains an introduction to the subject and is divided into four parts organized as follows. The Part 1 deals with Zamolodchikov integrable quivers. The Part 2 contains the classification of affine \(\boxtimes\) finite ADE bigraphs. The Part 3 deals with \(T\)-systems of type \(A\otimes\widehat{A}\). In Part 4, the authors analyze the tropical \(T\)-system associated with quivers admitting a subadditive labeling.
