    From triangulated categories to module categories via localisation II: Calculus of fractions

    We show that the quotient of a Hom-finite triangulated category C by the kernel of the functor Hom(T, -), where T is a rigid object, is preabelian. We further show that the class of regular morphisms in the quotient admit a calculus of left and right fractions. It follows that the Gabriel-Zisman localisation of the quotient at the class of regular morphisms is abelian. We show that it is equivalent to the category of finite dimensional modules over the endomorphism algebra of T in C.Comment: 21 pages; no separate figures. Minor changes.

    Denominators of cluster variables

    Full text link
    Associated to any acyclic cluster algebra is a corresponding triangulated category known as the cluster category. It is known that there is a one-to-one correspondence between cluster variables in the cluster algebra and exceptional indecomposable objects in the cluster category inducing a correspondence between clusters and cluster-tilting objects. Fix a cluster-tilting object T and a corresponding initial cluster. By the Laurent phenomenon, every cluster variable can be written as a Laurent polynomial in the initial cluster. We give conditions on T equivalent to the fact that the denominator in the reduced form for every cluster variable in the cluster algebra has exponents given by the dimension vector of the corresponding module over the endomorphism algebra of T.Comment: 22 pages; one figur
