Basics on Quiver Representations

◮ We work over an algebraically closed field k (of char 0). Let

Q = (Q0, Q1) be a finite quiver without oriented cycles. The space of representations of a fixed dimension vector α ∈ Nn is Repα(Q) :=

  • a∈Q1

Hom(kα(ta), kα(ha)). The group GLα :=

v∈Q0 GLα(v) acts on Repα(Q) by the

natural base change. Two representations are isomorphic iff they have the same orbit.

Moduli of Quiver Representations

◮ Fix a weight σ ∈ HomZ(Zn, Z) such that σ(α) = 0, an α-dim

representation M is called σ-semi-stable (resp. σ-stable) if σ(dim L) 0 (resp. σ(dim L) < 0) for any non-trivial subrepresentation L ⊂ M. We denote by Repσ·ss

α

(Q) (resp. Repσ·st

α

(Q)) the set of all σ-semi-stable (resp. σ-stable) α-dim representations.

◮ Facts: There is a good categorical quotient (by GIT)

q : Repσ·ss

α

(Q) → Modσ

α(Q), and its restriction to the stable

representations is a geometric quotient.

The Chambers and Walls

◮ The weights σ for which Repσ·ss α

(Q) is nonempty form a polyhedral cone Σα(Q). It is known that such a σ is of form −−, βQ (or equivalently β, −Q), where −, −Q is the usual Euler form of Q.

The Walls given by Real Roots

◮ A representation is called exceptional if HomQ(E, E) = k and

ExtQ(E, E) = 0. The dimension vector ǫ of E is called a real Schur root of Q. We are particularly interested in the following situation:

ExtQ(E, E) = 0. The dimension vector ǫ of E is called a real Schur root of Q. We are particularly interested in the following situation:

◮ Let C +, C − be two adjacent chambers with W being a

common wall whose supporting hyperplane is given by ǫ, ·Q = 0 for some real Schur root ǫ.

The Orthogonal Subcategories

◮ For M, N ∈ Rep(Q), N is said to be right orthogonal to M

denoted by M ⊥ N if HomQ(M, N) = ExtQ(M, N) = 0. The (right) orthogonal category M⊥ is the abelian subcategory {N ∈ Mod(Q) | M ⊥ N}. If E is exceptional,

denoted by M ⊥ N if HomQ(M, N) = ExtQ(M, N) = 0. The (right) orthogonal category M⊥ is the abelian subcategory {N ∈ Mod(Q) | M ⊥ N}. If E is exceptional,

◮ Lemma [Schofield] E ⊥ is equivalent to representations of a

quiver QE having no oriented cycles with |Q0| − 1 vertices. The inverse functor ιE : Mod(QE) → E ⊥ is a full exact embedding into Mod(Q).

The Orthogonal Projections

◮ Lemma [Geigel and Lenzing] There is a functor

˜ πE : Mod(Q) → E ⊥ left adjoint to the inclusion functor E ⊥ → Mod(Q).

◮ By AR-duality, there is a representation τE such that

E ⊥ =⊥ τE. So we obtain a dual projection π∨

E to E ⊥ through

τE.

If the blow-up loci is non-empty, then it has dimension −α − ǫ, ǫQ and its exceptional loci is q(Repβ·ss

◮ Choose the canonical weight: σ = −−, α + ταQ, then it

turns out the moduli is the blow-up of P2 along four general

  • points. This can be seen by induction as follows.

The projected dimension vector is αǫ = (1, 1, 1, 1, 1). The projected stability is still canonical. The projected moduli can be shown as the blow-up of P2 along three general points. The blow-up loci is another point in general position.

◮ By varying the stability, the quiver B4 contains all

2-dimensional moduli spaces of quiver representations. They are Fano surfaces of degree from 9 to 5.

A Conjecture

◮ By varying the stability, the quiver B4 contains all

2-dimensional moduli spaces of quiver representations. They are Fano surfaces of degree from 9 to 5.

◮ In the meantime, over one hundred of different moduli in

dimension three have been found. They can be singular, weakly Fano.

Induced Ample Divisors

◮ The GIT construction also gives us an ample divisor on the

quotient for free, namely the one induced from the G-linearization. We denote by Dβ the one from the stability −−, βQ.

Theorem

Under some mild assumption, Dβ = ϕ∗

E(Dβ∨

ǫ ) − ǫ, βQEβ.

Here, roughly speaking Eβ is the exceptional divisor of the blow-up.

with dimension vector α = (1,4,3) and weight σβ = (3,3,−5). Take ǫ = (0, 3, 2), then the projected quiver with dimension vector is the four-arrow Kronecker quiver with αǫ = (1, 1) and σβ∨

ǫ = (3, −3). Clearly the projected moduli is P3 embedded

by O(3). By inspection, the blow-up loci is a twisted cubic curve.

E(O(3)) − Eβ. So its linear

series corresponds to |O(3)| with assigned base points a twisted cubic. Then one can easily compute that h0(Modσβ

α (Q), Dβ) = 10.
