Real representations of quivers
Let \(Q\) be a finite connected quiver. Denote by \(\text{rep}(Q,\mathbb{R})\) the category of all finite dimensional \(\mathbb{R}\)-linear representations of \(Q\), where \(\mathbb{R}\) is the field of real numbers. Given a representation \(V\) in \(\text{rep}(Q,\mathbb{R})\) we denote by \(\overline{\text{End}}(V)\) the factor \(\mathbb{R}\)-algebra of the endomorphism algebra \(\text{End}(V)\) of \(V\) modulo its Jacobson radical. The following three statements are proved in the paper. (a) \(Q\) is a Dynkin quiver if and only if \(\overline{\text{End}}(V)\cong\mathbb{R}\) for all indecomposable objects \(V\) in \(\text{rep}(Q,\mathbb{R})\). (b) \(Q\) is an extended Dynkin quiver if and only if \(\overline{\text{End}}(V)\) is isomorphic to \(\mathbb{R}\) or to \(\mathbb{C}\), the field of complex numbers, for all indecomposable objects \(V\) in \(\text{rep}(Q,\mathbb{R})\), and both cases do occur. (c) \(Q\) is neither a Dynkin quiver nor an extended Dynkin quiver if and only if there exists an indecomposable object \(W\) in \(\text{rep}(Q,\mathbb{R})\) such that \(\overline{\text{End}}(V)\) is isomorphic to the field \(\mathbb{H}\) of quaternions.
