ABHY Associahedra and Newton polytopes of $F$-polynomials for finite type cluster algebras

Abstract

A new construction of the associahedron was recently given by Arkani-Hamed, Bai, He, and Yan in connection with the physics of scattering amplitudes. We show that their construction (suitably understood) can be applied to construct generalized associahedra of any simply-laced Dynkin type. Unexpectedly, we also show that this same construction produces Newton polytopes for all the $F$-polynomials of the corresponding cluster algebras. In addition, we show that the toric variety associated to the g-vector fan has the property that its nef cone is simplicial.

Jantzen filtrations for graded affine Hecke algebras

We prove the Jantzen conjecture for standard modules of graded affine Hecke algebras with equal parameters, real central character in the dominant deformation direction. The Jantzen layers are shown to be semisimple, and the multiplicities are given by the full local intersection cohomology of the corresponding orbit closures. The proof identifies the algebraic standard-to-contragredient map with the costalk-to-stalk map on a contracting transverse slice. Hard Lefschetz theorem determines its elementary divisors, and a residual grading on the specialized convolution algebra proves semisimplicity. An example in type $A$ is included to show that dominance is necessary.

Elementary modules of the generalized Kronecker quivers K(n)

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. The generalized or $n$-Kronecker quiver $K(n)$ is the quiver with two vertices, called a source and a sink, and $n$ arrows from source to sink. We use $\modd\cK_n$ to denote the category of the finite-dimensional modules of the path algebra $\cK_n=kK(n)$. There exist a function called dimension vector $\dimu: \modd \cK_n\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^2; M \mapsto (\dim_k M_1, \dim_k M_2 )$, and two functors $σ: \mathbb{Z}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^2; (x,y)\mapsto (nx-y,x)$, and $δ: \mathbb{Z}^2\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^2;(x,y)\mapsto (y,x)$. Then the set $\mathbf{F}=\{(x,y)\mid \frac{2}{n}x\leq y\leq x\}$ is the fundamental domain of the dimension vectors of regular modules under the action of $δ$ and $σ$ in $\modd\cK_n$. We call a regular module $M\in \modd\cK_n$ \textit{elementary} if there does not exist a short exact sequence $(0)\rightarrow L\rightarrow M\rightarrow N\rightarrow (0)$ with $L,N$ being non-zero regular. In this note, we focus on the set $\mathbf{F}$, and when $x<n$, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between elementary modules and spaces of fixed rank.

Graded Kronecker Modules of Constant Rank

Let $K(n)$ be the generalized Kronecker quiver, and let $(T(n),Ω)$ be the universal covering of $K(n)$, where $n\geq 3$ and $Ω$ is a bipartite orientation. We introduce three different types of representations for quiver $(T(n),Ω)$ by $K(n)$: maps are injective in a representation maps are all surjective in a representation, and representations are of constant rank. We use $\Inj, \Sur$ and $\GR$ to denote the corresponding subcategories containing these representations, respectively, and we show that \begin{center} $\GR= \Inj\cup\Sur$. \end{center}
