Braid groups and quiver mutation. (English) Zbl 1375.13032
Coxeter groups split into two distinct classes: those of finite type, corresponding to the Dynkin diagrams of type \(ADE\), and those of infinite type. Each such a group is a quotient of a corresponding Artin braid group and those of Dynkin type have a different character to others.
The authors describe presentations of braid groups of type \(ADE\) and show how these presentations are compatible with mutation of quivers. In types \(A\) and \(B\) these presentations can be understood geometrically. Further, a categorical interpretation of the presentations, with the new generators acting as spherical twists at simple modules on derived categories of Ginzburg dg-algebras [V. Ginzburg, Calabi-Yau algebras”, arXiv:math/0612139] of quivers with potential, is given as well.
