Isotropic Schur roots

Abstract: In this paper, we study the isotropic Schur roots of an acyclic quiver Q with n vertices. We study the perpendicular category mathcalA(d) of a dimension vector d and give a complete description of it when d is an isotropic Schur delta. This is done by using exceptional sequences and by defining a subcategory mathcalR(Q,delta) attached to the pair (Q,delta). The latter category is always equivalent to the category of representations of a connected acyclic quiver QmathcalR of tame type, having a unique isotropic Schur root, say deltamathcalR. The understanding of the simple objects in mathcalA(delta) allows us to get a finite set of generators for the ring of semi-invariants SI(Q,delta) of Q of dimension vector delta. The relations among these generators come from the representation theory of the category mathcalR(Q,delta) and from a beautiful description of the cone of dimension vectors of mathcalA(delta). Indeed, we show that SI(Q,delta) is isomorphic to the ring of semi-invariants SI(QmathcalR,deltamathcalR) to which we adjoin variables. In particular, using a result of Skowro'nski and Weyman, the ring SI(Q,delta) is a polynomial ring or a hypersurface. Finally, we provide an algorithm for finding all isotropic Schur roots of Q. This is done by an action of the braid group Bn1 on some exceptional sequences. This action admits finitely many orbits, each such orbit corresponding to an isotropic Schur root of a tame full subquiver of Q.
