Nakajima varieties and repetitive algebras
We realize certain graded Nakajima varieties of finite Dynkin type as orbit
closures of repetitive algebras of Dynkin quivers. As an application, we obtain
that the perverse sheaves introduced by Nakajima for describing irreducible
characters of quantum loop algebras are isomorphic to the intersection
cohomology sheaves of these orbit closures.Comment: 26 pages, v2 : Minor corrections. Final version to appear in PRIMS

Cluster algebras via cluster categories with infinite-dimensional morphism spaces
We apply our previous work on cluster characters for Hom-infinite cluster
categories to the theory of cluster algebras. We give a new proof of
Conjectures 5.4, 6.13, 7.2, 7.10 and 7.12 of Fomin and Zelevinsky's Cluster
algebras IV for skew-symmetric cluster algebras. We also construct an explicit
bijection sending certain objects of the cluster category to the decorated
representations of Derksen, Weyman and Zelevinsky, and show that it is
compatible with mutations in both settings. Using this map, we give a
categorical interpretation of the E-invariant and show that an arbitrary
decorated representation with vanishing E-invariant is characterized by its
g-vector. Finally, we obtain a substitution formula for cluster characters of
not necessarily rigid objects.Comment: 32 pages, added referenc
Towards an Automatic Dictation System for Translators: the TransTalk Project
Professional translators often dictate their translations orally and have
them typed afterwards. The TransTalk project aims at automating the second part
of this process. Its originality as a dictation system lies in the fact that
both the acoustic signal produced by the translator and the source text under
translation are made available to the system. Probable translations of the
source text can be predicted and these predictions used to help the speech
recognition system in its lexical choices. We present the results of the first
prototype, which show a marked improvement in the performance of the speech
recognition task when translation predictions are taken into account.Comment: Published in proceedings of the International Conference on Spoken
