In this survey, we give an overview over some aspects of the set of tilting objects in an $m-$cluster category, with focus on those properties which are valid for all $m geq 1$. We focus on the following three combinatorial aspects: modeling the set of tilting objects using arcs in certain polygons, the generalized assicahedra of Fomin and Reading, and colored quiver mutation.

When I offered to talk here, I asked myself if I had something suitable for a nice short 20 minute talk, and sent in an abstract about “cores of spaces and spectra”. However, since I have been given 50 minutes, I have decided to scrap that for something a little more substantial. It is brand new. I assume that I am among friends and that you won’t mind if some of what I say turns out to be nons...
