We study periodicity and twisted periodicity of the trivial extension algebra $T(A)$ of a finite-dimensional algebra $A$. We prove that (twisted) periodicity of the trivial extension is equivalent to $A$ being (twisted) fractionally Calabi--Yau. Moreover, twisted periodicity of $T(A)$ is equivalent to the $d$-representation-finiteness of the $r$-fold trivial extension algebra $T_r(A)$ for some positive integers $r$ and $d$. These results allow us to construct a large number of new examples of periodic as well as fractionally Calabi--Yau algebras, and give answers to several open questions.
Building on work by Geiss-Leclerc-Schroer and by Buan-Iyama-Reiten-Scott we investigate the link between certain cluster algebras with coefficients and suitable 2-Calabi-Yau categories. These include the cluster-categories associated with acyclic quivers and certain Frobenius subcategories of module categories over preprojective algebras. Our motivation comes from the conjectures formulated by Fomin and Zelevinsky in `Cluster algebras IV: Coefficients. We provide new evidence for Conjectures 5.4, 6.10, 7.2, 7.10 and 7.12 and show by an example that the statement of Conjecture 7.17 does not always hold.
The $n$-slice algebra is introduced as a generalization of path algebra in higher dimensional representation theory. In this paper, we give a classification of $n$-slice algebras via their $(n+1)$-preprojective algebras and the trivial extensions of their quadratic duals. One can always relate tame $n$-slice algebras to the McKay quiver of a finite subgroup of $mathrm{GL}(n+1, mathbb C)$. In the case of $n=2$, we describe the relations for the $2$-slice algebras related to the McKay quiver of finite Abelian subgroups of $mathrm{SL}(3, mathbb C)$ and of the finite subgroups obtained from embedding $mathrm{SL}(2, mathbb C)$ into $mathrm{SL}(3,mathbb C)$.
The Calabi-Yau property of cocommutative Hopf algebras is discussed by using the homological integral, a recently introduced tool for studying infinite dimensional AS-Gorenstein Hopf algebras. It is shown that the skew-group algebra of a universal enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional Lie algebra $g$ with a finite subgroup $G$ of automorphisms of $g$ is Calabi-Yau if and only if the universal enveloping algebra itself is Calabi-Yau and $G$ is a subgroup of the special linear group $SL(g)$. The Noetherian cocommutative Calabi-Yau Hopf algebras of dimension not larger than 3 are described. The Calabi-Yau property of Sridharan enveloping algebras of finite dimensional Lie algebras is also discussed. We obtain some equivalent conditions for a Sridharan enveloping algebra to be Calabi-Yau, and then partly answer a question proposed by Berger. We list all the nonisomorphic 3-dimensional Calabi-Yau Sridharan enveloping algebras.
The objective of the present paper is to give a survey of recent progress on applications of the approaches of Ringel-Hall type algebras to quantum groups and cluster algebras via various forms of Greens formula. In this paper, three forms of Greens formula are highlighted, (1) the original form of Greens formula cite{Green}cite{RingelGreen}, (2) the degeneration form of Greens formula cite{DXX} and (3) the projective form of Greens formula cite{XX2007a} i.e. Green formula with a $bbc^{*}$-action.
We give an explicit formula showing how the double Poisson algebra introduced in cite{VdB} appears as a particular part of a pre-Calabi-Yau structure, i.e. cyclically invariant, with respect to the natural inner form, solution of the Maurer-Cartan equation on $Aoplus A^*$. Specific part of this solution is described, which is in one-to-one correspondence with the double Poisson algebra structures. The result holds for any associative algebra $A$ and emphasizes the special role of the fourth component of a pre-Calabi-Yau structure in this respect. As a consequence we have that appropriate pre-Calabi-Yau structures induce a Poisson brackets on representation spaces $({rm Rep}_n A)^{Gl_n}$ for any associative algebra $A$.
