Abstract

Let rN3r \in \mathbb{N}_{\geq 3}. We denote by KrK_r the wild rr-Kronecker quiver with rr arrows γi ⁣:12\gamma_i \colon 1 \to 2 and consider the action of the group GrAut(Z2)G_r \subseteq \mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{Z}^2) generated by δ ⁣:ZZ,(x,y)(y,x)\delta \colon \mathbb{Z}\to \mathbb{Z}, (x,y) \mapsto (y,x) and σr ⁣:ZZ,(x,y)(rxy,x)\sigma_{r} \colon \mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z}, (x,y) \mapsto (rx-y,x) on the set of regular dimension vectors R={(x,y)N2x2+y2rxy<1}.\mathcal{R} = \{ (x,y) \in \mathbb{N}^2 \mid x^2 + y^2 - rxy < 1\}. A fundamental domain of this action is given by Fr:={(x,y)N22rxyx}\mathcal{F}_r := \{ (x,y) \in \mathbb{N}^2 \mid \frac{2}{r} x \leq y \leq x \}. We show that (x,y)Fr(x,y) \in \mathcal{F}_r is the dimension vector of an elementary representation if and only if ymin{xr+xxrr,xrxxr+r,r1},y \leq \min \{ \lfloor \frac{x}{r} \rfloor+\frac{x}{\lfloor \frac{x}{r} \rfloor} - r, \lceil \frac{x}{r} \rceil -\frac{x}{\lceil \frac{x}{r} \rceil} +r,r-1\}, where we interpret xr+xxrr\lfloor \frac{x}{r} \rfloor+\frac{x}{\lfloor \frac{x}{r} \rfloor} - r as \infty for 1x<r1 \leq x < r. In this case we also identify the set of elementary representations as a dense open subset of the irreducible variety of representations with dimension vector (x,y)(x,y). A complete combinatorial description of elementary representations for r=3r = 3 has been given by Ringel. We show that such a compact description is out of reach when we consider r4r \geq 4, altough the representation theory of K3K_3 is as difficult as the representation theory of KrK_r for r4r \geq 4.
