A deterministic algorithm for Harder–Narasimhan filtrations for representations of acyclic quivers

Chi-Yu Cheng

Vol. 18 (2024), No. 2, 319–347
Abstract

Let M be a representation of an acyclic quiver Q over an infinite field k. We establish a deterministic algorithm for computing the Harder–Narasimhan filtration of M. The algorithm is polynomial in the dimensions of M, the weights that induce the Harder–Narasimhan filtration of M, and the number of paths in Q. As a direct application, we also show that when k is algebraically closed and when M is unstable, the same algorithm produces Kempf’s maximally destabilizing one parameter subgroups for M.
