Lifting preprojective algebras to orders and categorifying partial flag varieties (1503.02362v3)

Abstract: We describe a categorification of the cluster algebra structure of multi-homogeneous coordinate rings of partial flag varieties of arbitrary Dynkin type using Cohen-Macaulay modules over orders. This completes the categorification of Geiss-Leclerc-Schr\"oer by adding the missing coefficients. To achieve this, for an order $A$ and an idempotent $e \in A$, we introduce a subcategory $\operatorname{CM}\nolimits_e A$ of $\operatorname{CM}\nolimits A$ and study its properties. In particular, under some mild assumptions, we construct an equivalence of exact categories $(\operatorname{CM}\nolimits_e A)/[Ae] \cong \operatorname{Sub}\nolimits Q$ for an injective $B$-module $Q$ where $B := A/(e)$. These results generalize work by Jensen-King-Su concerning the cluster algebra structure of the Grassmannian $\operatorname{Gr}\nolimits_m(\mathbb{C}^n)$.
