Part II", "authors": [ "Mariusz Kaniecki", "Justyna Kosakowska", "Markus Schmidmeier" ], "categories": [ "math.RT" ], "abstract": "For a partition $\\beta$, denote by $N_\\beta$ the nilpotent linear operator of Jordan type $\\beta$. Given partitions $\\beta$, $\\gamma$, we investigate the representation space ${}_2{\\mathbb V}_{\\gamma}^\\beta$ of all short exact sequences $$ \\mathcal E: 0\\to N_\\alpha \\to N_\\beta \\to N_\\gamma \\to 0$$ where $\\alpha$ is any partition with each part at most 2. Due to the condition on $\\alpha$, the isomorphism type of a sequence $\\mathcal E$ is given by an arc diagram $\\Delta$; denote by ${\\mathbb V}_\\Delta$ the subset of ${}_2{\\mathbb V}_{\\gamma}^\\beta$ of all sequences isomorphic to $\\mathcal E$. Thus, the space ${}_2{\\mathbb V}_{\\gamma}^\\beta$ carries a stratification given by the subsets of type ${\\mathbb V}_\\Delta$. We compute the dimension of each stratum and show that the boundary of a stratum ${\\mathbb V}_\\Delta$ consists exactly of those ${\\mathbb V}_{\\Delta'}$ where $\\Delta'$ is obtained from $\\Delta$ by a non-empty sequence of arc moves of five possible types {\\bf (A) -- (E)}. The case where all three partitions are fixed has been studied in [3] and [4]. There, arc moves of types {\\bf (A) -- (D)} suffice to describe the boundary of a ${\\mathbb V}_\\Delta$ in ${\\mathbb V}_{\\alpha,\\gamma}^\\beta$. Our fifth move {\\bf (E)}, \"explosion\", is needed to break up an arc into two poles to allow for changes in the partition $\\alpha$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-28T19:06:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "arc diagram", "invariant subspaces", "arc moves", "degenerations", "operations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
