"Quiver" is the word used for "directed graph" in some parts of representation theory. The main reason to use the term quiver is to indicate an interest in considering representations of the quiver.

Finding exceptional regular representations of $\tilde{D}_4$ efficiently

The AR quiver of the regular representations of an affine quiver consists of infinitely many "tubes". A tube of rank $r$ has $r$ modules on what you call the border. Let me number them $B_1, B_2, \dot …

Quiver representations of type $D_n$ mutation class

The quiver given in the question has five simple modules, six which correspond to a single arrow, and the remaining representations have support as follows: 123, 124, 125, 235, 345, 1235, 12235 (note …

What's an illustrative example of a tame algebra?

For other tame quivers with no relations over an algebraically closed ground field, the situation is slightly worse: the natural indexing set for the representations whose dimension vector is the null …

Closures of orbits in the space of representations of a quiver

Let $Q$ be a quiver, and let $d=(d_i)$ be a dimension vector. We can consider Rep($Q,d$), the affine space consisting of representations of $Q$ with dimension vector $d$. The general linear $GL(d)= \p …

Closures of orbits in the space of representations of a quiver

There is an example in section 3.4 of Riedtmann's paper "Degenerations for representations of quivers with relations", Ann. sci. Éc. Norm. Sup. v. 19 (1986), 275-301. …

Intuition for the Euler form in a finitary category

This answer perhaps says things that are all obvious to the OP. $\textrm{Ext}^i(A,B)$ is a vector space over the ground field, so its cardinality is $q^d$ where $d$ is the dimension of the vector sp …

Kac's theorem for quiver representations over an arbitrary ground field

Let $Q$ be a quiver without loops (cycles of length 1). Kac proved that if $K$ is algebraically closed, the dimension vectors of indecomposable representations of $Q$ over $K$ are exactly the positiv …

Why are coherent sheaves on $\Bbb P^1$ derived equivalent to representations of the Kronecke...

This shouldn't be surprising, though: path algebras of quivers have global dimension one, so you shouldn't expect their derived categories to agree with derived categories of sheaves on higher-dimensional …

The explicit indecomposable representations of (any) Euclidean quiver of type E

Reflection functors take you between categories of representations of different orientations of the same quiver and preserve indecomposability (up to the fact that a reflection functor destroys a sing …

Dimension of preprojective algebra of Dynkin type

As a module over $kQ$, a finite-type preprojective algebra is a direct sum of each of the indecomposable $kQ$-modules once. Thus, the total dimension is the sum over all positive roots of the height …

How is the free modular lattice on 3 generators related to 8-dimensional space?

Edited to be more of an answer. But, unfortunately, to be quite wrong. I apologize for having been borne away by my enthusiasm. The picture of the free modular lattice above shows thirty elements. …

Why Jacobson, but not the left (right) maximals individually?

Dag has already answered the case where the quiver is finite and acyclic, and given a conjecture in the case that cycles are allowed. I will prove his conjecture. Suppose we have an element $x$ of …

Quiver representations

Edited to add: oh, another thing: for Dynkin quivers, there is a way to construct any indecomposable by applying a sequence of "reflection functors" starting from a simple indecomposable, but the sequence …

Vertex embeddings of quantum groups via quivers

Let me first point out, as it confused me initially, that one expects a Dynkin diagram's worth of these embeddings, and the quiver involved is affine. So we can't have a bijection between vertices of …
