Conic intersections, Maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules and the Four Subspace problem

Publication date 21 February 2017

Abstract: Let

X

be a set of

4

generic points in

m a t h b b P^{2}

with homogeneous coordinate ring

R

. We classify indecomposable graded MCM modules over

R

by reducing the classification to the Four Subspace problem solved by Nazarova and Gel

^{'}

fand-Ponomarev, or equivalently to the representation theory of the

w i d e t i l d e D_{4}

quiver. In particular, the

m a t h b b P^{1}

tubular family of regular representations corresponds to matrix factorizations of the pencil of conics going through

X

, with smooth conics

Q_{t}

corresponding to rank one tubes and the singular conics

Q_{0}, Q_{1}, Q_{i n f t y}

giving the remaining rank two tubes. As applications we determine the Ulrich modules over

R

and we identify the preprojective algebra of type

w i d e t i l d e D_{4}

as the diagonal part of the Yoneda algebra of a Koszul

R

-module.
