Key research themes
1. How can quiver representations be encoded as generalized minors and what implications does this have for cluster algebras?
This theme examines the correspondence between representations of acyclic quivers and certain functions on Kac-Moody groups, specifically generalized minors. It highlights the realization of cluster variables via generalized minors associated with highest-weight, lowest-weight, and regular representations. The connection refines classical correspondences between quiver representation theory and Lie group representation theory, yielding explicit function-theoretic realizations of cluster variables and insights into the structure of cluster algebras.
2. How do orthosymplectic and non-simply laced quivers relate to magnetic quivers and moduli spaces via folding operations?
This theme investigates the construction and folding of orthosymplectic quivers—quivers with orthogonal and symplectic gauge groups—and the generation of non-simply laced quivers with new moduli space realizations. Folding identical legs of simply-laced quivers to form non-simply laced edges links 3d N=4 quiver gauge theories to Coulomb branch constructions of nilpotent orbit closures for exceptional and classical Lie algebras. Monopole formula computations and brane constructions clarify these correspondences, giving new magnetic quiver realizations for Higgs branches of 4d N=2 theories, enhancing the tabulation of moduli spaces related to quiver gauge theories.
3. How can combinatorial and geometric models of quiver representations provide explicit bases and invariants, connecting to lattice structures and categorized filtrations?
This theme explores combinatorial-geometric models of quiver representations, particularly of Dynkin type A, via polygonal and lattice realizations. It contributes explicit categorical equivalences between indecomposable modules and geometric objects such as line segments or minuscule posets, enabling stability functions under which all indecomposables are stable. It further develops novel combinatorial objects (maximal almost rigid representations) related to Cambrian lattices, establishes bijections with reverse plane partitions tied to minuscule posets, and uses these constructions to derive enumerative and structural representation-theoretic results.
