Abstract: The (ordinary) quiver of an algebra A is a graph that contains information about the algebra's representations. We give a description of the quiver of mathbbCPTn, the algebra of the monoid of all partial functions on n elements. Our description uses an isomorphism between mathbbCPTn and the algebra of the epimorphism category, En, whose objects are the subsets of 1,ldots,n and morphism are all total epimorphisms. This is an extension of a well known isomorphism of the algebra of ISn (the monoid of all partial injective maps on n elements) and the algebra of the groupoid of all bijections between subsets of an n-element set. The quiver of the category algebra is described using results of Margolis, Steinberg and Li on the quiver of EI-categories. We use the same technique to compute the quiver of other natural transformation monoids. We also show that the algebra mathbbCPTn has three blocks for n>1 and we give a natural description of the descending Loewy series of mathbbCPTn in the category form.
