Abstract

We will introduce quivers and their representations, understand their relation to the representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras, learn concepts from category theory and finally prove Gabriel’s theorem classifying all quivers of finite representation type.

Objective

The objectives are: (1) for students to gain a solid understanding of representation theory of quivers, (2) to develop their skills in reading mathematical texts, and (3) to enhance their presentation skills. For each session, reading material will be assigned along with a session leader. The session leader will present the assigned material and lead a short discussion following the presentation. Assessment will be based on participation in the seminar, with particular emphasis on the session led by each student.

Eine direkte Belegung in myStudies ist nicht möglich, alle kommen zuerst auf die Warteliste. Ausserdem gilt: Die Auswahl an Mathematik-Seminaren wird auf 1 Seminar pro Semester beschränkt. Beachten Sie auch die Lerneinheit 401-0002-99L Generic Seminar - Second Priority / Third Priority.)
