On the Euler characteristic of Kronecker moduli spaces

Combining the MPS degeneration formula for the Poincar\'e polynomial of moduli spaces of stable quiver representations and localization theory, it turns that the determination of the Euler characteristic of these moduli spaces reduces to a combinatorial problem of counting certain trees. We use this fact in order to obtain an upper bound for the Euler characteristic in the case of the Kronecker quiver. We also derive a formula for the Euler characteristic of some of the moduli spaces appearing in the MPS degeneration formula.Comment: 15 page

Tree modules

After stating several tools which can be used to construct indecomposable tree modules for quivers without oriented cycles, we use these methods to construct indecomposable tree modules for every imaginary Schur root. These methods also give a recipe for the construction of tree modules for every root. Moreover, we give several examples illustrating the results.Comment: Typos corrected; references added; deleted former Lemma 3.13 which is not neede

On the recursive construction of indecomposable quiver representations

For a fixed root of a quiver, it is a very hard problem to construct all or even only one indecomposable representation with this root as dimension vector. We investigate two methods which can be used for this purpose. In both cases we get an embedding of the category of representations of a new quiver into the category of representations of the original one which increases dimension vectors. Thus it can be used to construct indecomposable representations of the original quiver recursively. Actually, it turns out that there is a huge class of representations which can be constructed using these methods.Comment: 20 pages, final versio
