Abstract: The category of Cohen Macaulay modules over a quotient of a preprojective algebra provides an additive categorification of Scott’s cluster algebra structure of the coordinate ring of the Grassmannian of k-subspaces in n-space, by work of Jensen, King and Su. Under this correspondence, rigid indecomposable objects map to cluster variables. A special role is played by rank 1 indecomposables which correspond bijectively to Plücker coordinates. These are in fact all indecomposables in case k=2. In the other finite types (i.e. $(k,n)\in \{(3,6),(3,7),(3,8)\}$), there are also rank 2 and rank 3 rigid indecomposables. In general, the Grassmannian categories are not well understood. We provide characterisations for these low rank modules in infinite types. This is joint work with Dusko Bogdanic and Ana Garcia Elsener and with Bogdanic, Garcia Elsener and Jianrong Li.

Longitudinal Algebra and Geometry Open ONline Seminar (LAGOON)

Series comments: Description: Research webinar series

The LAGOON webinar series was supported as part of the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS) and the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) Online Mathematical Sciences Seminars and is now sponsored by the University of Cologne and the University of Pavia. Please register here to obtain the Zoom link and password for the meetings.

LAGOON will take place online every last Wednesday of the month from 14:00-15:00 (Time Zone Berlin, Rome, Paris).

Videos of the talks can be viewed here.

Video recordings of past talks until April 2022 can still be viewed on the ICMS webpage here.
