It is an open problem to determine what lengths are achieved by the maximal green sequences of a quiver. We combine the combinatorics of surface triangulations and the basics of scattering diagrams to address this problem. Our main result is a formula for the length of minimal length maximal green sequences of quivers defined by triangulations of an annulus or a punctured disk.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-02-23T17:57:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E99", "05E10", "16G20", "13F60" ], "keywords": [ "minimal length maximal green sequences", "main result", "important objects", "surface triangulations", "representation theory" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 43, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
