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.
Key finding: The paper establishes that cluster variables corresponding to preprojective (resp. postinjective) representations of an acyclic quiver Q can be realized as generalized minors associated with highest-weight (resp.... Read more
Key finding: The work uses quiver representations and their semi-invariants to generalize classical results in linear algebra and combinatorics, including recasting Littlewood-Richardson coefficients as dimensions of spaces of... Read more
Key finding: This paper proves the main conjecture that the quantum cluster character furnishes a bijection between isoclasses of indecomposable rigid valued representations of an acyclic quiver and the set of non-initial quantum cluster... Read more
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.
Key finding: The paper extends the folding procedure from unitary gauge quivers to orthosymplectic quivers, producing new infinite families of non-simply laced orthosymplectic quivers. It rigorously shows that folding preserves Coulomb... Read more
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.
Key finding: The paper builds a geometric model equating the Auslander-Reiten quiver of a type A quiver with a category whose objects are line segments of a polygon P(Q), establishing an equivalence with the category of indecomposable... Read more
Key finding: By associating nilpotent endomorphisms on the summands of certain Dynkin quiver representations, the paper provides a bijection between isomorphism classes in a category determined by a minuscule vertex and reverse plane... Read more
