Oriented Exchange Graphs and Torsion Classes
ABSTRACT:
The exchange graph of a quiver is the graph whose vertices are
mutation-equivalent quivers and whose edges correspond to single
mutations connecting two quivers. The exchange graph admits a natural
acyclic orientation called the oriented exchange graph. Its maximal
directed paths of finite length are in bijection with maximal green
sequences, which are of interest to representation theorists and string
theorists. Perhaps surprisingly, each oriented exchange graph is
isomorphic to the poset of functorially finite torsion classes of a
Jacobian algebra. Using this isomorphism, we show that oriented
exchange graphs with finitely many vertices are semidistributive
lattices and that certain oriented exchange graphs with finitely many
vertices are obtained by a lattice quotient of the lattice of biclosed
subcategories, which we will introduce in this talk. This is joint work
with Thomas McConville.
