Papers and Preprints


  1. The category of a partitioned fan

    In this paper, we introduce the notion of an admissible partition of a simplicial polyhedral fan and define the category of a partitioned fan as a generalisation of the τ-cluster morphism category of a finite-dimensional algebra. This establishes a complete lattice of categories around the τ-cluster morphism category, which is closely tied to the fan structure. We prove that the classifying spaces of these categories are cube complexes, which reduces the process of determining if they are K(π ,1) spaces to two sufficient conditions. By extending the definition of the picture group to a fan, we show that one condition is always satisfied for the τ-cluster morphism category and for fans underlying hyperplane arrangements. Additionally, both conditions are satisfied for fans in ℝ2 unless one particular identification occurs. As a consequence, the classifying space of the τ-cluster morphism category of any algebra with at most 3 simples is a K(π ,1) space for its picture group. In the final section we also offer a new algebraic proof of the relationship between an algebra and its g-vector fan.

  2. Wall-and-chamber structures for finite-dimensional algebras and τ-tilting theory (lecture notes)

    The wall-and-chamber structure is a geometric invariant that can be associated to any algebra. In these notes we give the definition of this object and we explain its relationship with torsion classes and τ-tilting theory.
