Preprojective algebras of tree-type quivers

Generalisations of Preprojective algebras

In this thesis, we investigate two ways of generalising the preprojective algebra. First, we introduce the multiplicative preprojective algebra, Λ(Q), which is a multiplicative analogue of the deformed preprojective algebra, introduced by Crawley-Boevey and Holland. The special case q = 1 is the undeformed multiplicative preprojective algebra, which is an analogue of the ordinary (undeformed) p...

On minimal disjoint degenerations for preprojective representations of quivers

We derive a root test for degenerations as described in the title. In the case of Dynkin quivers this leads to a conceptual proof of the fact that the codimension of a minimal disjoint degeneration is always one. For Euclidean quivers, it enables us to show a periodic behaviour. This reduces the classification of all these degenerations to a finite problem that we have solved with the aid of a ...

The Multisegment Duality and the Preprojective Algebras of Type A

On degenerations between preprojective modules over wild quivers

We study minimal degenerations between preprojective modules over wild quivers. Asymptotic properties of such degenerations are studied, with respect to codimension and numbers of indecomposable direct summands. We provide families of minimal disjoint degenerations of arbitrary codimension for almost all wild quivers and show that no such examples exist in the remaining cases.

Preprojective Algebras and Mv Polytopes

The purpose of this paper is to apply the theory of MV polytopes to the study of components of Lusztig’s nilpotent varieties. Along the way, we introduce reflection functors for modules over the non-deformed preprojective algebra of a quiver.
