- Lecture 1. Cluster algebras and quiver representations
Abstract: We will present the combinatorial construction of the cluster algebra associated with a quiver without loops or 2-cycles following Fomin and Zelevinsky. We will then report on the categorical interpretation of this algebra in the case of a quiver without oriented cycles (for example a Dynkin quiver). The main results presented at the end of the talk were obtained in joint work with Philippe Caldero. They are based on work by many authors, notably Buan, Marsh, Reineke, Reiten, Todorov and Zelevinsky.
- Lecture 2. Calabi-Yau categories and cluster algebras
Abstract: Recent work by many authors shows that large classes of cluster algebras can be "categorified" using certain triangulated categories which are Calabi-Yau of dimension 2. The main examples for such categories are the cluster categories associated with quivers without
oriented cycles and the stable module categories of preprojective algebras of Dynkin quivers. In this talk, we will present a unified framework for linking suitable 2-Calabi-Yau categories to cluster algebras following joint work with R. Dehy, C. Fu, Y. Palu, and I. Reiten.
