Dimer algebras, ghor algebras, and cyclic contractions (Q6151729)

A ghor algebra \(\Lambda\) is the path algebra of a dimer quiver on a surface, modulo relations that come from the perfect matchings of its quiver. Such algebras arise from abelian quiver gauge theories in physics. C. Beil shows that a ghor algebra on a torus is a dimer algebra (a quiver with potential) if and only if it is noetherian, and otherwise is the quotient of a dimer algebra by homotopy relations. Furthermore, the author classifies the simple \(\Lambda\)-modules of maximal dimension and give an explicit description of the center of using a special subset of perfect matchings. In the proofs, the author introduces formalized notions of Higgsing and the mesonic chiral ring from quiver gauge theory.
