Abstract:   

This is a joint work with Joe Chuang. We describe a combinatorial setting for tilting theory for Calabi-Yau algebras. We view them as "non-commutative local Calabi-Yau manifolds" and tilting corresponds to a non-commutative birational transformation involving a "compact" exceptional locus. A typical example is provided by the orbifold quotient of n-dimensional space by a finite subgroup of SLn acting freely outside the origin. These combinatorics are related to the topology of the space of stability conditions of the derived category. In dimension 3, the combinatorics are related to cluster mutations.



Here are some directions to Northeastern University. Shillman Hall can be best be accessed from the entrance on Forsythe Street between Nightingale Hall (red brick) and Ryder Hall.
