Applications of spherical twist functors to Lie algebras associated to root categories of preprojective algebras

Abstract: Let $\Lambda_Q$ be the preprojective algebra of a finite acyclic quiver $Q$ of non-Dynkin type and $D^b(\mathrm{rep}^n \Lambda_Q)$ be the bounded derived category of finite dimensional nilpotent $\Lambda_Q$-modules. We define spherical twist functors over the root category $\mathcal{R}{\Lambda_Q}$ of $D^b(\mathrm{rep}^n \Lambda_Q)$ and then realize the Weyl group associated to $Q$ as certain subquotient of the automorphism group of the Ringel-Hall Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}(\mathcal{R}{\Lambda_Q})$ of $\mathcal{R}{\Lambda_Q}$ induced by spherical twist functors. We also present a conjectural relation between certain Lie subalgebras of $\mathfrak{g}(\mathcal{R}{\Lambda_Q})$ and $\mathfrak{g}(\mathcal{R}_Q)$, where $\mathfrak{g}(\mathcal{R}_Q)$ is the Ringe-Hall Lie algebra associated to the root category $\mathcal{R}_Q$ of $Q$.
