Abstract

In this paper we define almost gentle algebras. They are monomial special multiserial algebras generalizing gentle algebras. We show that the trivial extension of an almost gentle algebra by its minimal injective co-generator is a symmetric special multiserial algebra and hence a Brauer configuration algebra. Conversely, we show that any almost gentle algebra is an admissible cut of a unique Brauer configuration algebra and as a consequence, we obtain that every Brauer configuration algebra with multiplicity function identically one, is the trivial extension of an almost gentle algebra. We show that to every almost gentle algebra A is associated a hypergraph, and that this hypergraph induces the Brauer configuration of the trivial extension of A. Amongst other things, this gives a combinatorial criterion to decide when two almost gentle algebras have isomorphic trivial extensions.

On the derived Hall algebra of a graded gentle one-cycle algebra I: the triangle structure

Under a mild condition, the perfect derived category and the finite-dimensional derived category of a graded gentle one-cycle algebra are described as twisted root categories of certain infinite quivers of type $\mathbb{A}_\infty^\infty$. As a consequence, it is shown that if $\ct$ is the perfect (respectively, finite-dimensional) derived category of such a graded gentle one-cycle algebra, then its triangle structure is up to triangle equivalence determined by the underlying additive category.

Towards Monoidal Categorifications of Twisted Products of Flag Varieties

Let $G$ be a simple, simply connected algebraic group of simply-laced type. For a positive braid word $β$ and $v\leδ(β)$, we study the cluster algebra associated with the twisted product of flag varieties $\mathring{\mathcal Z}_{v,β}$. We compare its Bao--Ye seed with a right-inductive weave seed and obtain local acyclicity and equality of the cluster and upper cluster algebras. Using Lusztig parameters in a bosonic extension algebra, we construct a monoidal subcategory $\mathscr C_{v,β}$ of a Hernandez--Leclerc category and prove that its Grothendieck ring contains the integral cluster algebra with noninvertible frozen variables. Every cluster monomial is the class of a real simple object of $\mathscr C_{v,β}$. The reverse inclusion, which would give a full monoidal categorification, is left as a conjecture.

Linear independence of global monomials on positive spaces

In this paper, we prove that global monomials on positive spaces are linearly independent, extending the basic fact that Laurent monomials in a Laurent polynomial algebra are linearly independent to a much more general setting. We also establish a global monomial avoidance phenomenon for positive spaces. Our approach is based on the study of Newton polytopes of Laurent expansions. These general results apply to positive spaces arising from cluster algebras (including the totally sign-skew-symmetric case), $Y$-patterns, and Laurent phenomenon algebras whose clusters are related by subtraction-free birational transformations. In particular, we obtain the proper Laurent monomial property and the linear independence of cluster monomials for all cluster algebras and Laurent phenomenon algebras under consideration. Notably, the proper Laurent monomial property follows from the global monomial avoidance phenomenon for positive spaces.
