An Introduction to Quiver Representations
Share this pageHarm Derksen; Jerzy Weyman
This book is an introduction to the representation theory of quivers
and finite dimensional algebras. It gives a thorough and modern
treatment of the algebraic approach based on Auslander-Reiten theory
as well as the approach based on geometric invariant theory. The
material in the opening chapters is developed starting slowly with
topics such as homological algebra, Morita equivalence, and Gabriel's
theorem. Next, the book presents Auslander-Reiten theory, including
almost split sequences and the Auslander-Reiten transform, and gives a
proof of Kac's generalization of Gabriel's theorem. Once this basic
material is established, the book goes on with developing the
geometric invariant theory of quiver representations. The book
features the exposition of the saturation theorem for semi-invariants
of quiver representations and its application to Littlewood-Richardson
coefficients. In the final chapters, the book exposes tilting modules,
exceptional sequences and a connection to cluster categories.
The book is suitable for a graduate course in quiver
representations and has numerous exercises and examples throughout the
text. The book will also be of use to experts in such areas as
representation theory, invariant theory and algebraic geometry, who
want to learn about applications of quiver representations to their
fields.
Readership
Graduate students and researchers interested in representation theory, quivers, and applications to categories.
Reviews & Endorsements
This book serves as an introductory text on quiver representations which would allow a person without any knowledge of Artin algebras to learn the subject quickly.
