Non-crossing partitions for exceptional hereditary curves

We introduce a new class of reflection groups associated with the canonical bilinear lattices of Lenzing, which we call reflection groups of canonical type. The main result of this work is a categorification of the corresponding poset of non-crossing partitions for any such group, realized via the poset of thick subcategories of the category of coherent sheaves on an exceptional hereditary curve generated by an exceptional sequence. A second principal result, essential for the categorification, is a proof of the transitivity of the Hurwitz action in these reflection groups.
