Mutation in triangulated categories and rigid Cohen–Macaulay modules

  • Published:
Inventiones mathematicae Aims and scope

Abstract

We introduce the notion of mutation of n-cluster tilting subcategories in a triangulated category with Auslander–Reiten–Serre duality. Using this idea, we are able to obtain the complete classifications of rigid Cohen–Macaulay modules over certain Veronese subrings.
