Intersection between category theory and graph theory

I'm a graduate student who has been spending a lot of time working with categories (model categories, derived categories, triangulated categories...) but I used to love graph theory and have always ...

Are the underlying undirected graphs of two mutation-equivalent acylic quivers isomorphic?

Quiver mutation, defined by Fomin and Zelevinsky, is a combinatorial process. It is important in the representation theory of quivers, in the theory of cluster algebras, and in physics. We consider ...

Tensor product of quivers

As a special case of a general construction I have constructed "accidentally" a tensor product of quivers aka directed multigraphs (aka directed graphs for category theorists). Probably this ...

Pairs of paths with the same source and target

Commutative diagrams usually express path equivalences in a category and thus involve pairs of paths in a category with the same source and target. General diagrams - in categories resp. category ...

A conceptual explanation for the Kirchoff matrix theorem in terms of the quiver algebra

On the wikipedia page for the Kirchoff matrix theorem, they state a souped up version of the theorem: Let $G$ be a finite undirected loopless graph and let us form the square matrix $L$ indexed by the ...

When do two path algebras share an underlying graph?

Suppose $Q$ and $Q'$ are two quivers. I am curious as to what relation $\mathbb{C}Q$ bears to $\mathbb{C}Q'$ when $Q$ and $Q'$ share the same underlying graph and only differ by direction. Since ...
