Deformed Cartan matrices and generalized preprojective algebras. II: General type (Q6090624)

In their study of the deformed \(\mathcal{W}\)-algebras, Frenkel-Reshetikhin introduced a certain \(2\)-parameter deformation \(C(q,t)\) of the Cartan matrix of finite type. R. Fujita and K. Murakami propose a definition of deformed symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrices with several deformation parameters, which admit a categorical interpretation by graded modules over the generalized preprojective algebras. Using the categorical interpretation, the authors deduce a combinatorial formula for the inverses of their deformed Cartan matrices in terms of braid group actions. Under a certain condition, which is satisfied in all the symmetric cases or in all the finite and affine cases, their definition coincides with that of the mass-deformed Cartan matrices, used in the study of quiver \(\mathcal{W}\)-algebras.
