Review text

The paper gives a simple proof of Schur's lemma which says that the endomorphism ring of every indecomposable representation of a partially ordered set (poset) of finite type over any field k is isomorphic to k. Using the canonical correspondence between the indecomposable representations of posets and of quivers when the representation type is finite [\textit{P. Gabriel}, Manuscr. Math. 6, 71-103 (1972; Zbl 0232.08001)], one obtains perhaps the shortest known proof of Schur's lemma for quivers as well. Schur's lemma easily implies a bijection between the dimensions of indecomposable representations and the positive integer roots of the Tits form for quivers and for posets when the representation type is finite [\textit{P. Gabriel}, Symp. Math. 11, 81-104 (1973; Zbl 0276.16001); \textit{Yu. A. Drozd}, Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 8, No.3, 34-42 (1974; Zbl 0356.06003), English translation: Funct. Anal. Appl. 8, 219-225 (1974)].
