\(c\)-vectors via \(\tau\)-tilting theory (Q502718)

The article under review is situated in the interplay of cluster theory and representation theory of quivers. Its goal is to generalize certain results and constructions associated to cluster-tilted algebras to more general kinds of algebras. To be more precise, the author defines the set of \(c\)-vectors associated to any finite-dimensional associative algebra over an algebraically closed field. The author also proves that the \(c\)-vectors associated to any such algebra are \textit{sing-coherent}. This means that each \(c\)-vector is a non-zero integer vector with either non-positive or non-negative entries. Moreover, it is proved that a positive vector is a \(c\)-vector if and only if its opposite is a \(c\)-vector. Therefore, to study the set of \(c\)-vectors of an algebra it is enough to study its subset of positive c-vectors. An important property of the set of positive \(c\)-vectors associated to a cluster-tilted algebra \(A\) is that it is equal to the set of dimension vectors of the expectational \(A\)-modules. The author is able to generalize this result for quasi-tilted algebras and representation-directed algebras.
