Abstract

Cluster algebras were introduced by Fomin-Zelevinsky in 2002 in order to give a combinatorial framework for phenomena occurring in the context of algebraic groups. Cluster algebras also have links to a wide range of other subjects, including the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras, as first discovered by Marsh- Reineke-Zelevinsky. Modifying module categories over hereditary algebras, cluster categories were introduced in work with Buan-Marsh-Reineke-Todorov in order to "categorify" the essential ingredients in the definition of cluster algebras in the acyclic case. They were shown to be triangulated by Keller. Related work was done by Geiss-Leclerc-Schröer using preprojective algebras of Dynkin type. In work by many authors there have been further developments, leading to feedback to cluster algebras, new interesting classes of finite dimensional algebras, and the investigation of categories of Calabi-Yau dimension $2.$

A local relative trace formula for F*\SL(2,F)

In this note, we derive explicitly the local relative trace formula for the symmetric space F*\SL(2,F) at the level of Lie algebras, where F is a p-adic field of residue characteristic greater than two and F* is the set of invertible elements in F. This is perhaps one of the simplest non-trivial analogs of the trace formula, and also a motivating example for the author's work (in preparation) on the relative trace formula.

Semi-infinite parabolic IC-sheaf

Let G be a connected reductive group, P its parabolic subgroup. We consider the parabolic semi-infinite category of sheaves on the affine Grassmanian of G and construct the parabolic version of the semi-infinite IC-sheaf of each orbit. We establish some of its properties and relate it to sheaves on the Drinfeld compactification of the moduli stack Bun_P of P-torsors on a curve. We also relate the parabolic semi-infinite IC-sheaf with the dual baby Verma object on the spectral side.

The Grothendieck group of an extriangulated category

In this paper, we investigate the split Grothendieck group $K^{\rm sp}_{0}(\mathcal{M})$ of a $d$-rigid subcategory $\mathcal{M}$ in an extriangulated category $\mathscr{C}$. As applications, we prove the following results: (1) If $\mathcal{M}$ is a silting subcategory, then the Grothendieck group $K_{0}(\mathscr{C})$ is isomorphic to $K_{0}^{\rm sp}(\mathcal{M})$; (2) If $\mathcal{M}$ is a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory, then $K_{0}(\mathscr{C})$ is isomorphic to the index Grothendieck group $K_{0}^{\rm in}(\mathcal{M})$; (3) Let $\mathcal{C}_{A_{n}}^{d}$ be the $d$-cluster category of type $A_n$. If $d$ is even, then $K_0(\mathcal{C}_{A_{n}}^{d})\cong \mathbb{Z}/(n+1)\mathbb{Z}$. If $d$ is odd, then $K_0(\mathcal{C}_{A_{n}}^{d})\cong \mathbb{Z}$ if $n$ is odd; $K_0(\mathcal{C}_{A_{n}}^{d})\cong 0$ if $n$ is even.
