Abstract
For any quiver and dimension vector , Le Bruyn-Procesi proved that the invariant ring for the action of the change of basis group on the space of representations is generated by the traces of matrix products associated to cycles in the quiver. Lusztig generalised this to allow for vertices where the group acts trivially. Here we provide a simple new proof of Lusztig's theorem and determine the relations between his algebra generators for any quiver with relations.
