Normality of orbit closures for Dynkin quivers of type \(\mathbb A_n\) (Q5947081)

Let \(k\) be algebraically closed field, and let \(Q=(Q_0,Q_1,s,e) \) be a Dynkin quiver of type \(\mathbb A_n\) for \( n\geq 1\). Let \({\mathbf d}\in\mathbb N^{Q_0}\) be a dimension vector. It was previously known [\textit{S. Abeasis, A. Del Fra, H. Kraft}, Math. Ann. 256, 401--418 (1981; Zbl 0477.14027)] that, in the case where \(Q\) is an equioriented Dynkin quiver and \(k\) is of characteristic zero, the orbit closures in \(\text{rep}_Q({\mathbf d})\) are normal and Cohen-Macauley varieties and have rational singularities. Here the same result is proved when \(Q\) has arbitrary orientation. To accomplish this, the authors prove the following. Let \(Q'\) and \(Q\) be Dynkin quivers of type \(\mathbb A\), and let \(A=kQ'\) (resp. \(B=kQ)\) be the path algebras of quivers \(Q'\) (resp. \(Q\)). If we assume there is a full embedding of translation quivers \(F: \Gamma_B\to\Gamma_A\), then there exists a functor \({\mathcal F}: \text{mod }B\to\text{mod }A\) which is hom-controlled. This short paper is dedicated to proving this proposition. The desired result above follows from a paper by \textit{G. Zwara} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 84, No. 3, 539--558 (2002; Zbl 1054.16009)].
