# Minuscule reverse plane partitions via quiver representations

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a new invariant for quiver representations using Jordan forms of nilpotent endomorphisms, establishing a bijection with reverse plane partitions and connecting promotion actions to Coxeter theory, with applications in type A.

## Contribution

It defines a novel invariant for certain quiver representations and links it to reverse plane partitions, extending classical combinatorial correspondences and Coxeter group actions.

## Key findings

- Invariant classifies representations up to isomorphism
- Bijection with reverse plane partitions of minuscule posets
- Promotion order equals Coxeter number, with classical cases included

## Abstract

A nilpotent endomorphism of a quiver representation induces a linear transformation on the vector space at each vertex. Generically among all nilpotent endomorphisms, there is a well-defined Jordan form for these linear transformations, which is an interesting new invariant of a quiver representation. If $Q$ is a Dynkin quiver and $m$ is a minuscule vertex, we show that representations consisting of direct sums of indecomposable representations all including $m$ in their support, the category of which we denote by $\mathcal{C}_{Q,m}$, are determined up to isomorphism by this invariant. We use this invariant to define a bijection from isomorphism classes of representations in $\mathcal{C}_{Q,m}$ to reverse plane partitions whose shape is the minuscule poset corresponding to $Q$ and $m$. By relating the piecewise-linear promotion action on reverse plane partitions to Auslander-Reiten translation in the derived category, we give a uniform proof that the order of promotion equals the Coxeter number. In type $A_n$, we show that special cases of our bijection include the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth and Hillman-Grassl correspondences.
