“…Despite their simple definition, gentle algebras are encountered in many different contexts. They were introduced in [AS87] in the study of iterated tilted algebras of type A m , but have recently appeared in connection with dimer models [Boc12,Bro12], enveloping algebras of some Lie algebras [HK06], cluster algebras and categories arising from triangulated surfaces [LF09,ABCJP10], m-Calabi-Yau tilted algebras [GE17,GE18], non-kissing complexes of grids and associated objects [McC17, GM18, PPP17, BDM + 17], non-commutative nodal curves [BD18], and partially wrapped Fukaya categories [HKK17,LP18]. Surface models have been introduced to study the category representations of a gentle algebra and associated categories [BCS18,OPS18,PPP18].…”
