Dimension vectors with the equal kernels property

Representations of quivers and partially ordered sets (16G20) Auslander-Reiten sequences (almost split sequences) and Auslander-Reiten quivers (16G70)

Abstract: Let

r i n m a t h b b N

,

G a m m a_{r}

be the generalized Kronecker quiver with

r

arrows

g a m m a_{1}, l d o t s, g a m m a_{r} c o l o n 1 o 2

and

d e l t a i n D e l t a_{+} (G a m m a_{r})

be a positive root of

G a m m a_{r}

. We say that

d e l t a

has the equal kernels property if for all

a l p h a i n k^{r} s e t m i n u s 0

and every indecomposable representation

M

with dimension vector

u n d e r l i n e d i m M = d e l t a

the

k

-linear map

M^{a} l p h a := s u m_{i = 1}^{r} a l p h a_{i} M (g a m m a_{i}) c o l o n M_{1} o M_{2}

is injective. We show that

d e l t a

has the equal kernels property if and only if

q_{G a m m a_{r}} (d e l t a) + d e l t a_{2} - d e l t a_{1} g e q 1

, where

q_{G a m m a_{r}} c o l o n m a t h b b Z^{2} o m a t h b b Z, (x, y) m a p s t o x^{2} + y^{2} - r x y

denotes the Tits quadratic form of

G a m m a_{r}

.

Review text

The generalized Kronecker quivers are the quivers with two vertices, a sink and a source, and \(r\geq 3\) arrows (going from the source to the sink). The case \(r=2\) is the ordinary Kronecker quiver and its representations have been studied by Weierstraß and Kronecker. Let \(k\) be an fixed algebraically closed field and \(r\geq 3\). Denote by \(K_r\) the generalized Kronecker quiver with \(r\) arrows \(\gamma_1, \ldots, \gamma_r: 1\rightarrow 2\), and by \(\delta\in\Delta_+(K_r)\) a positive root of \(K_r\). We say that \(\delta\) has the equal kernels property if for all \(\alpha\in k^r \setminus\{0\}\) and every indecomposable representation \(M\) with dimension vector of \(M\) equal to \(\delta\), the \(k\)-linear map \(M^\alpha := \sum_{i=1}^r\alpha_iM(\gamma_i): M_1\to M_2\) is injective. Let us mention that by Westwick's Theorem [\textit{R. Westwick}, Linear Multilinear Algebra 20, 171--174 (1987; Zbl 0611.15002)], we know that if \(M\) has the equal kernels property, then \(\delta_2 - \delta_1 \geq r-1\) and \(\delta_1\delta_2\neq 0\) or \(\delta = (0, 1)\). In the paper under review, the author shows that \(\delta\) has the equal kernels property if and only if \(q_{K_r}(\delta) + \delta_2 - \delta_1 \geq 1\), where \(q_{K_r}: \mathbb{Z}^2\to\mathbb{Z}\), \((x,y)\mapsto x^2+y^2-rxy\) denotes the Tits quadratic form of \(K_r\).
