We give tilting theoretic interpretations of the $h$-vectors and Dehn-Sommerville equations of $\\Delta(A)$. Using $g$-vectors of 2-term silting complexes, $\\Delta(A)$ gives a nonsingular fan $\\Sigma(A)$ in the real Grothendieck group $K_0(\\mathrm{proj } A)_\\mathbb{R}$ called the $g$-fan. For example, the fan of $g$-vectors of a cluster algebra is given by the $g$-fan of a Jacobian algebra of a non-degenerate quiver with potential. We give several properties of $\\Sigma(A)$ including idempotent reductions, sign-coherence, Jasso reductions and a connection with Newton polytopes of $A$-modules. Moreover, $\\Sigma(A)$ gives a (possibly infinite and non-convex) polytope $P(A)$ in $K_0(\\mathrm{proj } A)_\\mathbb{R}$ called the $g$-polytope of $A$. We call $A$ $g$-convex if $P(A)$ is convex. In this case, we show that it is a reflexive polytope, and that the dual polytope is given by the 2-term simple minded collections of $A$. We give an explicit classification of $g$-convex algebras of rank $2$. We classify algebras whose $g$-polytopes are smooth Fano. We classify classical and generalized preprojective algebras which are $g$-convex, and also describe their $g$-polytope as the dual polytopes of short root polytopes of type $A$ and $B$. We also classify Brauer graph algebras which are $g$-convex, and describe their $g$-polytopes as root polytopes of type $A$ and $C$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-29T03:14:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16G20" ], "keywords": [ "tilting theory", "simplicial complex", "dual polytope", "short root polytopes", "silting complexes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 70, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
