Newton-Okounkov bodies for categories of modules over quiver Hecke algebras

Abstract

We show that for a finite-type Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, the representation theory of quiver Hecke algebras provides a natural framework for the construction of Newton-Okounkov bodies associated to the quantum coordinate rings $\Aqnw$. When $\mathfrak{g}$ is simply-laced, we use Kang-Kashiwara-Kim-Oh's monoidal categorification to investigate the cluster theory of these bodies. In particular, our construction yields a simplex $\ds$ for every seed $\s$ of $\Aqnw$. We exhibit various properties of these simplices by characterizing their rational points, normal fans, and volumes. As an application, we prove an equality of rational functions relating Nakada's hook formula with the root partitions associated to cluster variables, suggesting further connections between cluster theory and the combinatorics of fully-commutative elements of Weyl groups.
