Quivers with additive labelings: classification and algebraic entropy

Abstract

We show that Zamolodchikov dynamics of a recurrent quiver has zero algebraic entropy only if the quiver has a weakly subadditive labeling, and conjecture the converse. By assigning a pair of generalized Cartan matrices of affine type to each quiver with an additive labeling, we completely classify such quivers, obtaining $40$ infinite families and $13$ exceptional quivers. This completes the program of classifying Zamolodchikov periodic and integrable quivers.
