3-Preprojective Algebras of Type D
Jordan Haden
TL;DR
The work studies type $D$ selfinjective algebras as $\mathbb{Z}_3$-quotients of type $A$ 3-preprojective algebras, proving Morita equivalence with $\Pi_\mathcal{A}^s\#\mathbb{Z}_3$ and identifying a realization as Evans–Pugh type $D$ quivers. It shows a third of these algebras are themselves 3-preprojective and that the associated 2-representation-finite algebras are fractional Calabi–Yau, with a precise CY-dimension $\frac{2t}{t+1}$ when $s=3t+1$. The paper also provides explicit descriptions of $2$-Auslander–Reiten quivers and connects the construction to SU(3) modular invariants via operator-algebra viewpoints. It ends with criteria for cuts, derived-equivalences, and several natural questions for higher $d$-analogues and Auslander-theoretic aspects.
Abstract
We present a family of selfinjective algebras of type D, which arise from the 3-preprojective algebras of type A by taking a $\mathbb{Z}_3$-quotient. We show that a subset of these are themselves 3-preprojective algebras, and that the associated 2-representation-finite algebras are fractional Calabi-Yau. In addition, we show our work is connected to modular invariants for SU(3).
