The representation type of Jacobian algebras (Q908068)

The paper deals with the representation type of the Jacobian algebra associated to a 2-acyclic quiver with non-degenerate potential. It is shown first that the representation type is invariant under mutations. With few exceptional quivers, it is proved that the Jacobian algebra is tame (wild) if and only if \(Q\) is of finite (infinite) mutation type, that is, \(Q\) is mutation equivalent to a finite (infinite) class. The exceptional cases are treated separately. Note that the quivers of finite mutation type were classified by \textit{A. Felikson} et al. [J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 14, No. 4, 1135--1180 (2012; Zbl 1262.13038)]. Most of these quivers come from a triangulation of a marked surface (see [\textit{S. Fomin} et al., Acta Math. 201, No. 1, 83--146 (2008; Zbl 1263.13023)]). If there are enough marked points, the authors prove that \(Q\) has a unique non-degenerate potential, up to weak right equivalence. For quivers which do not come from a triangulation of a marked surface, a similar uniqueness result is obtained.
