Cyclic posets and triangulation clusters

02 Apr 2019-Science China-mathematics (Science China Press)-Vol. 62, Iss: 7, pp 1289-1316
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the constructions of various triangulated categories with cluster structures is presented, called triangulation clusters, which are those corresponding to topological triangulations of the 2-disk.
Abstract: Triangulated categories coming from cyclic posets were originally introduced by the authors in a previous paper as a generalization of the constructions of various triangulated categories with cluster structures. We give an overview, and then analyze “triangulation clusters” which are those corresponding to topological triangulations of the 2-disk. Locally finite nontriangulation clusters give topological triangulations of the “cactus space” associated to the “cactus cyclic poset”.

TL;DR: Feynman categories as discussed by the authors are a special type of monoidal categories and their representations are monoidal functors, which can be viewed as a far reaching generalization of groups, algebras and modules.
Abstract: We give a presentation of Feynman categories from a representation--theoretical viewpoint. Feynman categories are a special type of monoidal categories and their representations are monoidal functors. They can be viewed as a far reaching generalization of groups, algebras and modules. Taking a new algebraic approach, we provide more examples and more details for several key constructions. This leads to new applications and results. The text is intended to be a self--contained basis for a crossover of more elevated constructions and results in the fields of representation theory and Feynman categories, whose applications so far include number theory, geometry, topology and physics.

TL;DR: The use of triangulated categories in the study of representations of finite-dimensional algebras has been studied extensively in the literature as discussed by the authors, and triangulation is a useful tool in studying tilting processes.
Abstract: This book is an introduction to the use of triangulated categories in the study of representations of finite-dimensional algebras. In recent years representation theory has been an area of intense research and the author shows that derived categories of finite-dimensional algebras are a useful tool in studying tilting processes. Results on the structure of derived categories of hereditary algebras are used to investigate Dynkin algebras and interated tilted algebras. The author shows how triangulated categories arise naturally in the study of Frobenius categories. The study of trivial extension algebras and repetitive algebras is then developed using the triangulated structure on the stable category of the algebra's module category. With a comprehensive reference section, algebraists and research students in this field will find this an indispensable account of the theory of finite-dimensional algebras.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new category C, called the cluster category, which is obtained as a quotient of the bounded derived category D of the module category of a finite-dimensional hereditary algebra H over a field, is introduced.
Abstract: We introduce a new category C, which we call the cluster category, obtained as a quotient of the bounded derived category D of the module category of a finite-dimensional hereditary algebra H over a field. We show that, in the simply-laced Dynkin case, C can be regarded as a natural model for the combinatorics of the corresponding Fomin-Zelevinsky cluster algebra. In this model, the tilting modules correspond to the clusters of Fomin-Zelevinsky. Using approximation theory, we investigate the tilting theory of C, showing that it is more regular than that of the module category itself, and demonstrating an interesting link with the classification of self-injective algebras of finite representation type. This investigation also enables us to conjecture a generalisation of APR-tilting.

TL;DR: In this article, the denominator theorem of Fomin and Zelevinsky was generalized to any cluster algebra and an algebraic realization and a geometric realization of Cat_C were given.
Abstract: Cluster algebras were introduced by S. Fomin and A. Zelevinsky in connection with dual canonical bases. Let U be a cluster algebra of type A_n. We associate to each cluster C of U an abelian category Cat_C such that the indecomposable objects of Cat_C are in natural correspondence with the cluster variables of U which are not in C. We give an algebraic realization and a geometric realization of Cat_C. Then, we generalize the ``denominator Theorem'' of Fomin and Zelevinsky to any cluster.
