Cluster-tilted algebras and slices. (Q932874): Difference between revisions

Let \(A\) be a connected finite-dimensional hereditary algebra over an algebraically closed field. The endomorphism algebra of a cluster-tilting object in the cluster category \(\mathcal C_A\) is called a cluster-tilted algebra. It was shown by the authors [in Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 40, No. 1, 151-162 (2008; Zbl 1182.16009)] that for each tilted algebra \(C\) the trivial extension \(\widetilde C=C\ltimes\text{Ext}^2_C(DC,C)\) is a cluster-tilted algebra, and every cluster-tilted algebra is of this form. In general, \(C\) is not uniquely determined by \(\widetilde C\). In the paper under review the authors provide a criterion when for two tilted algebras \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) the corresponding cluster-tilted algebras \(\widetilde C_1\) and \(\widetilde C_2\) are isomorphic or not. Namely, let \(C\) be a tilted algebra and \(B\) a cluster-tilted algebra. Then \(B=C\ltimes\text{Ext}^2_C(DC,C)\) if and only if there is a local slice \(\Sigma\) in \(\text{mod\,}B\) such that \(C=B/\text{Ann}_B\Sigma\). Here, a local slice is a generalization of the notion of a complete slice for tilted algebras.
