PBW parametrizations and generalized preprojective algebras (Q2065950)

Preprojective algebras were introduced to understand representation categories of finite quivers. A preprojective algebra is defined as a double of a finite quiver with preprojective relations, which contains the path algebra of the original quiver as a subalgebra, with applications in tilting theory, McKay correspondences, cluster structures of coordinate rings of algebraic groups or flag varieties, and geometric representation theory. Generalized preprojective algebras associated with generalized Cartan matrices and their symmetrizers realize crystal structures on the set of maximal dimensional irreducible components of the nilpotent varieties. For general finite types, K. Murakami gives stratifications of these components via partial orders of torsion classes in module categories of generalized preprojective algebras in terms of Weyl groups. The author realizes Mirković-Vilonen polytopes from generic modules of these components, and give an identification as crystals between the set of these polytopes and the set of maximal dimensional irreducible components.
