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

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
