Abstract

Tilting theory in cluster categories of hereditary algebras has been developed in [BMRRT] and [BMR]. These results are generalized to cluster categories of hereditary abelian categories. Furthermore, for any tilting object TT in a hereditary abelian category H\mathcal{H}, we verify that the tilting functor HomH(T,)_\mathcal{H}(T,-) induces a triangle equivalence from the cluster category C(H)\mathcal{C(H)} to the cluster category C(A)\mathcal{C}(A), where AA is the quasi-tilted algebra EndHT._{\mathcal{H}}T. Under the condition that one of derived categories of hereditary abelian categories H,\mathcal{H}, H\mathcal{H}' is triangle equivalent to the derived category of a hereditary algebra, we prove that the cluster categories C(H)\mathcal{C(H)} and C(H)\mathcal{C(H')} are triangle equivalent to each other if and only if H\mathcal{H} and H\mathcal{H}' are derived equivalent, by using the precise relation between cluster-tilted algebras (by definition, the endomorphism algebras of tilting objects in cluster categories) and the corresponding quasi-tilted algebras proved previously. As an application, we give a realization of "truncated simple reflections" defined by Fomin-Zelevinsky on the set of almost positive roots of the corresponding type [FZ2, FZ5], by taking H\mathcal{H} to be the representation category of a valued Dynkin quiver and TT a BGP-tilting (or APR-tilting, in other words).
