Graded Calabi Yau algebras of dimension 3. (Q2456381)

A Calabi-Yau algebra of dimension \(3\) is an algebra for which the third power of the shift functor on the bounded derived category of finite-dimensional modules is a Serre functor on this category. In the paper under review the author shows that graded Calabi-Yau algebras of dimension \(3\) are path algebras of quivers with relations derived from superpotentials. The author also gives an alternative condition in terms of exactness of a certain bimodule complex. It is further shown that for a given quiver \(Q\) and degree \(d\) the set of those superpotentials of degree \(d\), which give rise to Calabi-Yau quotients of the path algebra of \(Q\), is either empty or contains almost all superpotentials (in the measure theoretic sense). Finally, the author applies Gröbner basis techniques to show how one can determine the possible degrees of ``good'' superpotentials for some simple quivers.
