A note on Bridgeland's Hall algebras

Abstract

In this note, let $\A$ be a finitary hereditary abelian category with enough projectives. By using the associativity formula of Hall algebras, we give a new and simple proof of the main theorem in \cite{Yan}, which states that the Bridgeland's Hall algebra of 2-cyclic complexes of projective objects in $\A$ is isomorphic to the Drinfeld double Hall algebra of $\A$. In a similar way, we give a simplification of the key step in the proof of Theorem 4.11 in \cite{LP}.
