Abstract

We give a quiver representation theoretic interpretation of generalized cluster complexes defined by Fomin and Reading. By using dd-cluster categories which are defined by Keller as triangulated orbit categories of (bounded) derived categories of representations of valued quivers, we define a dd-compatibility degree ()(-||-) on any pair of ``colored'' almost positive real Schur roots which generalizes previous definitions on the non-colored case, and call two such roots compatible provided the dd-compatibility degree of them is zero. Associated to the root system Φ\Phi corresponding to the valued quiver, by using this compatibility relation, we define a simplicial complex which has colored almost positive real Schur roots as vertices and dd-compatible subsets as simplicies. If the valued quiver is an alternating quiver of a Dynkin diagram, then this complex is the generalized cluster complex defined by Fomin and Reading.
