When $A$ is of finite type, these isomorphisms behave nicely, they are compatible with the BGP-reflection functors of cluster categories defined in [Z1, Z2] if we identify the indecomposable objects in the categories with cluster variables of the corresponding cluster algebras, and they are also compatible with the \"truncated simple reflections\" defined in [FZ2, FZ3]. Using the construction of preprojective or preinjective modules of hereditary algebras by Dlab-Ringel [DR] and the Coxeter automorphisms (i.e., a product of these isomorphisms), we construct infinitely many cluster variables for cluster algebras of infinite type and all cluster variables for finite types.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-06-19T13:05:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16G20", "16G70" ], "keywords": [ "bgp-reflection functors", "isomorphism", "cluster variables", "applications", "truncated simple reflections" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/s11425-006-2004-6", "journal": "Science in China A: Mathematics", "year": 2006, "month": "Dec", "volume": 49, "number": 12, "pages": 1839 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006ScChA..49.1839Z" } } }
