Quiver coefficients of Dynkin type (Q841522)

The representation space of a quiver \(Q\) with vector spaces \(E_i\) assigned to its vertices is the affine space \(V=\bigoplus_{a\in Q_1} {\mathrm{Hom}}(E_{t(a)},E_{h(a)})\). The group \(\mathbb{G}=\prod_{i\in Q_0} {\mathrm{GL}}(E_i)\) naturally acts on \(V\). A quiver cycle \(\Omega\) is a \(\mathbb{G}\)-stable closed irreducible subvariety in \(V\). If \(Q\) is an equioriented quiver of type \(A\), then an equivariant Grothendieck class \([\mathcal{O}_{\Omega}]\in K_{\mathbb{G}}(V)\) is known to be given as a \(\mathbb{Z}\)-linear combination of products of the stable Grothendieck polynomials applied to the standard representations of \(\mathbb{G}\). The coefficients of this linear combination are called quiver coefficients. In the paper under review a more general notion of quiver coefficients is introduced. These coefficients can be defined for an arbitrary quiver \(Q\) without oriented loops. If \(Q\) is of Dynkin type and \(\Omega\) has rational singularities, then a formula for the quiver coefficients is given. Several conjectures are formulated.
