Probability distribution for exceptional sequences of type $A_n$

Representation Theory 2023-08-09 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We determine the probability distribution for relative projective objects in an exceptional sequence of type AnA_n of any length. We show that these events (the jj-th object in an exceptional sequence of length knk\le n being relatively projective) are independent of each other and from the length of the sequence. This gives a probabilistic interpretation of the product formula for the number of exceptional sequences of length kk and clusters or partial clusters of size kk since the latter numbers are proportional to the number of signed exceptional sequences of length kk.
