Representations of quivers and partially ordered sets (16G20) Root systems (17B22)

Abstract: Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and $Q$ be an acyclic quiver with $n$ vertices. Consider the category $mrep(Q)$ of finite dimensional representations of $Q$ over $k$. The exceptional representations of $Q$, that is, the indecomposable objects of $mrep(Q)$ without self-extensions, correspond to the so-called real Schur roots of the usual root system attached to $Q$. These roots are special elements of the Grothendieck group $mathbb{Z}^n$ of $mrep(Q)$. When we identify the dimension vectors of the representations (that is, the non-negative vectors of $mathbb{Z}^n$) up to positive multiple, we see that the real Schur roots can accumulate in some directions of $mathbb{R}^{n}supsetmathbb{Z}^n$. This paper is devoted to the study of these accumulation points. After giving new properties of the canonical decomposition of dimension vectors, we show how to use this decomposition to describe the rational accumulation points. Finally, we study the irrational accumulation points and we give a complete description of them in case $Q$ is of weakly hyperbolic type.

Review text

Let \(k\) be an algebraically closed field and \(Q\) be an acyclic quiver with \(n\) vertices. It is known (see [\textit{V. G. Kac}, Invent. Math. 56, No. 1, 57--92 (1980; Zbl 0427.17001); Lect. Notes Math. 996, 74--108 (1983; Zbl 0534.14004)]) that the set of dimension vectors of indecomposable representations of \(Q\) over \(k\) coincides with the set of positive roots of the root system associated to the underlying graph \(\overline{Q}\) of \(Q\). In particular, the real roots form a special subset of the set of all positive roots and the representation theory attached to these roots is well understood. Moreover, in a root system associated to \(\overline{Q}\) the real roots always accumulate to the hypersurface defined by the Tits form of \(Q\). In the paper under review the author studies the accumulation points of real Schur roots of \(Q\). Recall that the real Schur roots are the real roots that correspond to the exceptional representations, which are the indecomposable representations without self-extensions. Let us mention that the exceptional representations play an important role in tilting theory and in the theory of cluster algebras. The main theorem states that an isotropic Schur root is a rational accumulation point of real Schur roots. Moreover, a rational accumulation point of real Schur roots has canonical decomposition involving only pairwise orthogonal isotropic Schur roots. The author also gives a complete description of all accumulation points (rational and irrational) of real Schur roots for quivers of weakly hyperbolic type.
