The higher Stasheff-Tamari orders in representation theory

Combinatorial aspects of representation theory (05E10) Combinatorics of partially ordered sets (06A07) Auslander-Reiten sequences (almost split sequences) and Auslander-Reiten quivers (16G70) Special polytopes (linear programming, centrally symmetric, etc.) (52B12)

Abstract: We show that the relationship discovered by Oppermann and Thomas between triangulations of cyclic polytopes and the higher Auslander algebras of type

A

, denoted

A_{n}^{d}

, is an incredibly rich one. The emph{higher Stasheff--Tamari orders} are two orders on triangulations of cyclic polytopes, conjectured to be equivalent, defined in the 1990s by Kapranov and Voevodsky, and Edelman and Reiner. We first show that these orders correspond in even dimensions to natural orders on tilting modules defined by Riedtmann and Schofield and studied by Happel and Unger. This result allows us to show that triangulations of odd-dimensional cyclic polytopes are in bijection with equivalence classes of

d

-maximal green sequences of

A_{n}^{d}

, which we introduce as a higher-dimensional generalisation of the original maximal green sequences of Keller. We further interpret the higher Stasheff--Tamari orders in odd dimensions, where they correspond to natural orders on equivalences classes of

d

-maximal green sequences. The conjecture that these two partial orders on equivalence classes of

d

-maximal green sequences are equal amounts to an oriented version of the ``no-gap conjecture of Br"ustle, Dupont, and Perotin. A corollary of our results is that this conjecture holds for $A_{n}$ , and that here the set of equivalence classes of (1-)maximal green sequences is a lattice.

Summary: We show that the relationship discovered by Oppermann and Thomas between triangulations of cyclic polytopes and the higher Auslander algebras of type $A$, denoted $A^d_n$, is an incredibly rich one. The \textit{higher Stasheff-Tamari orders} are two orders on triangulations of cyclic polytopes, defined in the 1990s by \textit{M. M. Kapranov} and \textit{V. A. Voevodskij} [Cah. Topologie Géom. Différ. Catégoriques 32, No. 1, 11--27 (1991; Zbl 0748.18010)], and \textit{P. H. Edelman} and \textit{V. Reiner} [Mathematika 43, No. 1, 127--154 (1996; Zbl 0854.06003)], who conjectured them to be equivalent. We first show that these orders correspond in even dimensions to natural orders on tilting modules defined by \textit{C. Riedtmann} and \textit{A. Schofield} [Comment. Math. Helv. 66, No. 1, 70--78 (1991; Zbl 0790.16013)] and studied by \textit{D. Happel} and \textit{L. Unger} [Algebr. Represent. Theory 8, No. 2, 147--156 (2005; Zbl 1110.16011)]. This result allows us to show that triangulations of odd-dimensional cyclic polytopes are in bijection with equivalence classes of $d$-maximal green sequences of $A^d_n$, which we introduce as a higher-dimensional generalisation of the original maximal green sequences of Keller. We further interpret the higher Stasheff-Tamari orders in odd dimensions, where they correspond to natural orders on equivalences classes of $d$-maximal green sequences. The conjecture that these two partial orders on equivalence classes of $d$-maximal green sequences are equal amounts to an oriented version of the ``no-gap conjecture of \textit{T. Brüstle} et al. [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2014, No. 16, 4547--4586 (2014; Zbl 1346.16009)]. A corollary of our results is that this conjecture holds for $A_n$, and that here the set of equivalence classes of (1-)maximal green sequences is a lattice. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1530.16002].
