Cluster-tilted algebras as trivial extensions

Abstract: Given a finite dimensional algebra

C

(over an algebraically closed field) of global dimension at most two, we define its relation-extension algebra to be the trivial extension

C l t i m e s E x t_{C}^{2} (D C, C)

of

C

by the

C

-

C

-bimodule

E x t_{C}^{2} (D C, C)

. We give a construction for the quiver of the relation-extension algebra in case the quiver of

C

has no oriented cycles. Our main result says that an algebra

i l d e C

is cluster-tilted if and only if there exists a tilted algebra

C

such that

i l d e C

is isomorphic to the relation-extension of

C

.
