Abstract

Let AA be the path algebra of a Dynkin quiver QQ over a finite field, and P\mathscr{P} be the category of projective AA-modules. Denote by C1(P)C^1(\mathscr{P}) the category of 1-cyclic complexes over P\mathscr{P}, and n~+\tilde{\mathfrak{n}}^+ the vector space spanned by the isomorphism classes of indecomposable and non-acyclic objects in C1(P)C^1(\mathscr{P}). In this paper, we prove the existence of Hall polynomials in C1(P)C^1(\mathscr{P}), and then establish a relationship between the Hall numbers for indecomposable objects therein and those for AA-modules. Using Hall polynomials evaluated at 11, we define a Lie bracket in n~+\tilde{\mathfrak{n}}^+ by the commutators of degenerate Hall multiplication. The resulting Hall Lie algebras provide a broad class of nilpotent Lie algebras. For example, if QQ is bipartite, n~+\tilde{\mathfrak{n}}^+ is isomorphic to the nilpotent part of the corresponding semisimple Lie algebra; if QQ is the linearly oriented quiver of type An\mathbb{A}_{n}, n~+\tilde{\mathfrak{n}}^+ is isomorphic to the free 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra with nn-generators. Furthermore, we give a description of the root systems of different n~+\tilde{\mathfrak{n}}^+. We also characterize the Lie algebras n~+\tilde{\mathfrak{n}}^+ by generators and relations. When QQ is of type A\mathbb{A}, the relations are exactly the defining relations. As a byproduct, we construct an orthogonal exceptional pair satisfying the minimal Horseshoe lemma for each sincere non-projective indecomposable AA-module.
