As Leclerc-Plamondon have shown, the points of these varieties can be interpreted as representations of a category, which we call the (singular) Nakajima category S. We determine the quiver of S and the number of minimal relations between any two given vertices. We construct a delta-functor Phi taking each finite-dimensional representation of S to an object of the derived category of Q. We show that the functor Phi establishes a bijection between the strata of the graded affine quiver varieties and the isomorphism classes of objects in the image of Phi. If the underlying graph of Q is an ADE Dynkin diagram, the image is the whole derived category; otherwise, it is the category of \"line bundles over the non commutative curve given by Q\". We show that the degeneration order between strata corresponds to Jensen-Su-Zimmermann's degeneration order on objects of the derived category. Moreover, if Q is an ADE Dynkin quiver, the singular category S is weakly Gorenstein of dimension 1 and its derived category of singularities is equivalent to the derived category of Q.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-03-12T15:05:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "derived category", "graded quiver varieties", "nakajimas graded affine quiver varieties", "jensen-su-zimmermanns degeneration order" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1303.2318K" } } }
