Abstract of the Talk by: Dr. Andrew Douglas

 

Title: An introduction to quiver representations

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


This talk will be an introduction to quivers and their representations.  We will discuss the three representation types of quivers--finite, tame and wild--providing examples of each.  Next, we will introduce Gabriel's elegant theorem which illuminates the connection between Dynkin graphs and the representation type of quivers.  Finally, we will briefly look at path algebras. Path algebras provide a close connection between quivers and the representation theory of finite-dimensional associative algebras.
