Hyperkähler structure of framed instantons over $\smash{\overline{\mathbb{C}P}}^2$

When underlying $4$ manifold is compact and hyperkähler, the philosophy of infinite dimensional moment map tells us that its instantons moduli space is also hyperkähler. I'm curious about the ...

Two notions of stability

Let $Q$ be a finite quiver (i.e. an oriented graph). A representation of $Q$ is by definition a module over the path algebra of $Q$. More concretely, a representation associates to every vertex $v \in ...

Moduli stack of quiver representations

Let $Q$ be a finite quiver. As far as I know there's a great amount of work concerning the so-called quiver varieties one can associate to it. Loosely speaking, these are obtained by taking GIT ...
