The Integral Cluster Category

Integral cluster categories of acyclic quivers have recently been used in the representation-theoretic approach to quantum cluster algebras. We show that over a principal ideal domain, such categories behave much better than one would expect: They can be described as orbit categories, their indecomposable rigid objects do not depend on the ground ring and the mutation operation is transitive.Comment: 17 pages, new section added, references adde

Formulas for primitive Idempotents in Frobenius Algebras and an Application to Decomposition maps

In the first part of this paper we present explicit formulas for primitive idempotents in arbitrary Frobenius algebras using the entries of representing matrices coming from projective indecomposable modules with respect to a certain choice of basis. The proofs use a generalisation of the well known Frobenius-Schur relations for semisimple algebras. The second part of this paper considers \Oh-free \Oh-algebras of finite \Oh-rank over a discrete valuation ring \Oh and their decomposition maps under modular reduction modulo the maximal ideal of \Oh, thereby studying the modular representation theory of such algebras. Using the formulas from the first part we derive general criteria for such a decomposition map to be an isomorphism that preserves the classes of simple modules involving explicitly known matrix representations on projective indecomposable modules. Finally we show how this approach could eventually be used to attack a conjecture by Gordon James in the formulation of Meinolf Geck for Iwahori-Hecke-Algebras, provided the necessary matrix representations on projective indecomposable modules could be constructed explicitly.Comment: 16 page

Relative critical loci and quiver moduli

In this paper we identify the cotangent to the derived stack of representations of a quiver $Q$ with the derived moduli stack of modules over the Ginzburg dg-algebra associated with $Q$. More generally, we extend this result to finite type dg-categories, to a relative setting as well, and to deformations of these. It allows us to recover and generalize some results of Yeung, and leads us to the discovery of seemingly new lagrangian subvarieties in the Hilbert scheme of points in the plane.Comment: 58 pages. v2: minor changes.
