On generic semi-simple decomposition of dimension vector for an arbitrary quiver (Q2302251)

Denote by \(R(Q,\alpha)\) the affine space of \(\alpha\)-dimensional representations of a quiver \(Q\). The \textit{generic semisimple decomposition of} \(\alpha\) is the sum \(\alpha=\beta_1+\cdots+\beta_k\), where \(R(Q,\alpha)\) contains a dense open subset \(U\) such that for all \(x\in U\), the simple composition factors of the representation \(V_x\) corresponding to \(x\) have dimension vectors \(\beta_1,\dots,\beta_k\). The main results of the paper are a characterisation of the generic semisimple decomposition in terms of so-called orthogonal sequences, and an algorithm to compute it. The author works over an algebraically closed base field of characteristic zero, and uses results of [\textit{L. Le Bruyn} and \textit{C. Procesi}, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 317, 585--598 (1990; Zbl 0693.16018)]. We note that the results in loc. cit. were extended to positive characteristic in [\textit{M. Domokos} and \textit{A. N. Zubkov}, Algebr. Represent. Theory 5, 305--317 (2002; Zbl 1061.16023)] and in [\textit{M. Domokos}, NATO Sci. Ser. II, Math. Phys. Chem. 28, 47--61 (2001; Zbl 1004.16013)] (compare Corollary 1.2.5 of the latter paper with Theorem 1.4). So the results of the present work hold in positive characteristic as well.
