Title: | A relation between a conjecture of Kac and the structure of the Hall algebra | Authors: | SEVENHANT, Bert VAN DEN BERGH, Michel |
Issue Date: | 2001 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV | Source: | JOURNAL OF PURE AND APPLIED ALGEBRA, 160(2-3). p. 319-332 | Abstract: | In this paper we show that the Hall algebra of a quiver, as defined by Ringel, is the positive part of the quantived enveloping algebra of a generalized Kac-Moody Lie algebra. We give a potential application of this result to a conjecture of Kac which states that the constant coefficient of the polynomial counting the number of absolutely indecomposable representations of a quiver over a finite field is equal to the multiplicity of the corresponding root in the associated Kac-Moody Lie algebra.
