Quiver flag varieties and multigraded linear series (Q630634)

As following from the celebrated results of \textit{A. A. Beilinson} [Funct. Anal. Appl. 12, 214-216 (1979; Zbl 0424.14003)] and \textit{M. M. Kapranov} [Math. USSR, Izv. 24, 183-192 (1985); translation from Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 48, No.1, 192--202 (1984; Zbl 0564.14023)], the Grassmannian \(Gr(n,r)\), and more generally the partial flag varieties of type A have a remarkable property that their bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves have a tilting object, given by direct sum of certain Schur powers of the tautological bundles. Such a tilting object induces an equivalence from the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves to the derived category of representations of a finite directed quiver. This provides a powerful tool to study the moduli spaces of sheaves on such varieties \textit{A. D. King} [Q. J. Math., Oxf. II. Ser. 45, No.180, 515--530 (1994; Zbl 0837.16005)]. In this paper, the author constructs a class of smooth projective varieties, called quiver flag varieties, as a generalization of the partial flag varieties of type A. A quiver flag variety \(\mathcal{M}_\theta(Q,r)\) is constructed as the fine moduli space of \(\theta\)-stable representations with dimension vector \(r\) of certain finite directed quiver \(Q\). By considering the filtration of \(Q\) by directed subquivers, the author shows that \(\mathcal{M}_\theta(Q,r)\) arises as a tower of Grassmann bundles. This description leads to two interesting results. First, combined with a result of \textit{Yi Hu} and \textit{S. Keel} [Mich. Math. J. 48, Spec. Vol., 331-348 (2000; Zbl 1077.14554)], the author shows that \(\mathcal{M}_\theta(Q,r)\) is a Mori dream space. Secondly, using certain vanishing theorems, the author shows that the derived category of \(\mathcal{M}_\theta(Q,r)\) has a tilting object. At the end, the author introduces the Plucker embedding of a quiver flag variety by using multigraded linear series.
