Abstract

We provide a categorification of Oh and Suh's combinatorial Auslander-Reiten quivers in the simply laced case. We work within the perfectly valued derived category pvd(ΠQ)\mathrm{pvd}(\Pi_Q) of the 2-dimensional Ginzburg dg algebra of a Dynkin quiver QQ. For any commutation class [i][i] of reduced words in the corresponding Weyl group, we define a subcategory C([i])C([i]) of pvd(ΠQ)\mathrm{pvd}(\Pi_Q) whose objects are obtained by applying a sequence of spherical twist functors to the simple objects. We describe the Hom-order for C([i])C([i]) in terms of [i][i], generalizing a result of B\'edard. Furthermore, when [i][i] is a commutation class for the longest element, we construct a category D([i])D([i]) generalizing the bounded derived category of QQ. It is realized as a certain subquotient of pvd(ΠQ)\mathrm{pvd}(\Pi_Q). We demonstrate the existence of particular distinguished triangles in pvd(ΠQ)\mathrm{pvd}(\Pi_Q) with corners in D([i])D([i]), which allows us to extend the classical mesh-additivity to arbitrary commutation classes. Additionally, we define an analog of the Euler form and prove that its symmetrization yields the corresponding Cartan-Killing form. For commutation classes [i][i] arising from Q-data, a generalization of Dynkin quivers with a height function introduced by Fujita and Oh, we establish the existence of a partial Serre functor on D([i])D([i]). Lastly, we apply our results to reinterpret a formula by Fujita and Oh for the inverse of the quantum Cartan matrix.
