Which cluster morphism categories are CAT(0)

Abstract

The cluster morphism category of an hereditary algebra was introduced in [5] to show that the picture space of an hereditary algebra of finite representation type is a K(π,1)K(\pi,1) for the associated picture group, thereby allowing for the computation of the homology of picture groups of finite type as carried out in [7] for the case of AnA_n. In this paper we show that the cluster morphism category is a CAT(0)CAT(0)-category for hereditary algebras of finite or tame type with only small tubes. As a consequence, we get that the classifying space of the cluster morphism category is a locally CAT(0)CAT(0) space and, as a consequence of that, we get that this classifying space is a K(π,1)K(\pi,1).
