Abstract

Let VV and WW be quiver representations over F1\mathbb{F}_1 and let KK be a field. The scalar extensions VKV^K and WKW^K are quiver representations over KK with a distinguished, very well-behaved basis. We construct a basis of HomKQ(VK,WK)\mathrm{Hom}_{KQ}(V^K,W^K) generalising the well-known basis of the morphism spaces between string and tree modules. We use this basis to give a combinatorial characterisation of absolutely indecomposable representations. Furthermore, we show that indecomposable representations with finite nice length are absolutely indecomposable. This answers a question of Jun and Sistko.
