◮ 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) :=
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.

◮ 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.

(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.

◮ 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:

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

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

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.

◮ In the meantime, over one hundred of different moduli in
dimension three have been found. They can be singular, weakly Fano.

◮ 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.

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.
