Quivers, long exact sequences and Horn type inequalities. (English) Zbl 1207.16011

Summary: We give necessary and sufficient inequalities for the existence of long exact sequences of \(m\) finite Abelian \(p\)-groups with fixed isomorphism types. This problem is related to some generalized Littlewood-Richardson coefficients that we define in this paper. We also show how this problem is related to eigenvalues of Hermitian matrices satisfying certain (in)equalities. When \(m=3\), we recover the Horn type inequalities that solve the saturation conjecture for Littlewood-Richardson coefficients and Horn’s conjecture.
