Abstract

For a quiver $Q$ with underlying graph $\Gamma$, we take $ {\mathcal {M}}$ an associated toric Nakajima quiver variety. In this article, we give a direct relation between a specialization of the Tutte polynomial of $\Gamma$, the Kac polynomial of $Q$ and the Poincaré polynomial of $ {\mathcal {M}}$. We do this by giving a cell decomposition of $ {\mathcal {M}}$ indexed by spanning trees of $\Gamma$ and ‘geometrizing’ the deletion and contraction operators on graphs. These relations have been previously established in Hausel–Sturmfels [6] and Crawley-Boevey–Van den Bergh [3], however the methods here are more hands-on.
