Large tilting sheaves on exceptional curves
We consider the category Qcoh X of quasi-coherent sheaves on a weighted projective line, or more generally (when the ground field is not algebraically closed), on an exceptional curve X. The localizations of Qcoh X at sets of finite length objects are related to tilting sheaves on X that are not coherent. We give a complete classification of the non-coherent tilting sheaves on X when X is of domestic or of tubular type. Moreover, we discuss the connection with the infinite dimensional tilting modules over the derived equivalent canonical algebra. This is joint work with Dirk Kussin.

Hochschild cohomology and representation theory
Dieter Happel's work on Hochschild cohomology has made a huge impact, for exploiting it for representation theory. This lecture aims to discuss some of this.

The simplicial complex of cluster-tilting objects is connected
By work of Happel, Ringel, Unger and others it was shown that the set of basic rigid modules for an hereditary artin algebra has a natural structure of a simplicial complex. We will show how to extend this result to prove that this complex has a natural completion which is an abstract simplicial polytope. In particular, this implies that the cluster-tilting objects in the corresponding cluster category form a single mutation class.

Projectives in all meshes
Inspired by the work of Hernandez-Leclerc and Leclerc-Plamondon on graded quiver varieties we give a new description of the derived category of a Dynkin quiver in terms of the representations of a certain (weakly) Gorenstein algebra. This is a Gorenstein analogue of Happel's classical description of the derived category in terms of representations of the repetitive algebra. This is joint work with Sarah Scherotzke.
Pierre-Guy Plamondon (Paris)
Quiver varieties and repetitive algebras
We will show how some of the quiver varieties of Nakajima can be interpreted as varieties of representations of repetitive algebras. This description will rely on Happel's result relating the category of representation of repetitive algebras and derived categories. This is joint work with Bernard Leclerc.

My work with Dieter
In this talk I will discuss my joint work with Dieter Happel (some of it with additional coauthors, mainly Sverre Smalø, and also Bernhard Keller). Hence the topics will be short cycles, quasitilted algebras, piecewise hereditary algebras, tilting with respect to torsion pairs, hereditary categories with tilting objects and bounded derived categories and repetitive algebras.

The early years of tilting theory. 1980–1985.
Tilting theory provides an effective method for constructing module categories with strong similarities, it is now an indispensible tool in algebra and geometry. The basic features and the relevance of tilting modules and tilting functors will be outlined in the lecture. The period 1980–1985 which we will consider is bounded by the PhD-thesis and the habilitation thesis of Dieter Happel, both investigations are milestones in the development of tilting theory.

Finding a derived category inside a stable category
Dieter Happel had studied relationships between the derived category of a given algebra and the stable category of modules over the trivial extension. First he realized the module category of the original algebra as a heart of a t-structure on the stable category. Secondly he showed that the derived category can be embedded in the stable category. In my talk, I give some generalization of these works of D. Happel.

On rigid sheaves on the projective space
I will talk about joint work with Dieter Happel where we attempted to analyze some problems about coherent sheaves on the projective space by translating these problem into problems involving representations of finite dimensional algebras. I will mention two of the problems we looked at. One of them is about the structure of the endomorphism ring of an indecomposable coherent sheaf, and the other one is about the location of the coherent sheaves in the Auslander-Reiten quiver of the derived category of coherent sheaves.

From CM finite to CM free
Given a non-semisimple representation-finite algebra, the Auslander algebra
has global dimension 2. Dieter Happel once mentioned that this is a kind of
resolution of singularities. In this talk we borrow and develop his idea.
Given a CM finite algebra A (i.e. A has only finitely many indecomposable
Gorenstein-projective modules, whether A is Gorenstein or not), the
corresponding relative Auslander algebra Aus(A) is CM free (i.e.
Gorenstein-projective Aus(A)-modules are exactly projective). Thus,
considering the Buchweitz-Happel theorem, roughly speaking, an algebra of
finite singularities becomes an algebra without singularities after taking
the Auslander algebra.
Given a CM finite algebra A, the singularity category of A is
triangle-equivalent to the Gorenstein defect category of Aus(A). Here the
Gorenstein defect category is in the sense of P. A. Bergh, D. A. Jorgensen,
and S. Oppermann.
The two results presented above are joint work with Fan Kong.
