Accumulation points of real Schur roots
Abstract
Let be an algebraically closed field and be an acyclic quiver with vertices. Consider the category of finite dimensional representations of over . The exceptional representations of , that is, the indecomposable objects of without self-extensions, correspond to the so-called real Schur roots of the usual root system attached to . These roots are special elements of the Grothendieck group of . When we identify the dimension vectors of the representations (that is, the non-negative vectors of ) up to positive multiple, we see that the real Schur roots can accumulate in some directions of . This paper is devoted to the study of these accumulation points. After giving new properties of the canonical decomposition of dimension vectors, we show how to use this decomposition to describe the rational accumulation points. Finally, we study the irrational accumulation points and we give a complete description of them in case is of weakly hyperbolic type.
