Type A symplectic Auslander-Reiten theory

Student thesis: Doctoral ThesisDoctor of Philosophy

Abstract

This thesis concerns the computation of symplectic invariants of a special family of hypersurface singularities defined by polynomials fn;d : Cd ! C, indexed by positive integers n >= d. It studies connections between Lagrangian Floer theory and Auslander-Reiten theory for algebras of type A, associated to the linearly oriented An quiver.

We compute the Fukaya-Seidel category associated to fn;d by explicitly describing generating objects. In the special case of curve singularities, we provide a complete description of the Milnor fibres. We use this construction to establish a derived equivalence between the Fukaya-Seidel categories of the family of singularities fn;d, and the partially wrapped Fukaya categories considered by Dyckerhoff-Jasso-Lekili and defined by Auroux. We provide explicit equivalences between the Fukaya-Seidel categories and the perfect derived categories of higher Auslander algebras of type A, indexed by positive integers n>=d and denoted by An;d.

We use our symplectic description of higher Auslander algebras of type A to provide a geometric interpretation of the recursive construction of An;d established by Iyama, which is based on higher Auslander correspondence.
