Quivers and path algebras

Quivers and their path algebras: paths as a basis, multiplication by concatenation, representations of quivers as modules over the path algebra, and simple, projective and indecomposable representations.

Utajifunza

  • Compute the path algebra kQ of a small quiver and show that it is finite-dimensional exactly when Q is finite with no oriented cycles.
  • Prove that representations of Q correspond to kQ-modules, giving an equivalence of categories.
  • Classify the indecomposable representations of a linearly oriented quiver of type Aₙ.

Fasili

  • A quiver Q is a directed graph, possibly with loops and multiple arrows.
  • The path algebra kQ has a basis consisting of all paths in Q, including a trivial path at each vertex, with product given by concatenation when the paths compose and zero otherwise.
  • A representation of Q assigns a vector space to each vertex and a linear map to each arrow.

Nadharia

  • For a finite quiver, the category of representations of Q is equivalent to the category of kQ-modules.
  • For a finite quiver Q, kQ is finite-dimensional if and only if Q has no oriented cycles.
  • The path algebra of a finite acyclic quiver is hereditary: submodules of projective modules are projective.

Mawazo potofu ya kawaida

  • Mixing conventions: texts compose paths left-to-right or right-to-left, which interchanges left and right modules.
  • Treating a quiver as an undirected graph; orientation and multiple arrows matter.

Ugunduzi wa hiari

  • Categories The paths in a quiver form the free category generated by that quiver, and the path algebra is its linearisation.
