Abstract: We investigate representations of *-algebras associated with posets. Unitarizable representations of the corresponding (bound) quivers (which are polystable representations for some appropriately chosen slope function) give rise to representations of these algebras. Considering posets which correspond to unbound quivers this leads to an ADE-classification which describes the unitarization behaviour of their representations. Considering posets which correspond to bound quivers, it is possible to construct unitarizable representations starting with polystable representations of related unbound quivers which can be glued together with a suitable direct sum of simple representations. Finally, we estimate the number of complex parameters parametrizing irreducible unitary non-equivalent representations of the corresponding algebras.

Review text

Working over \(\mathbb C\), one can consider the representations of a poset \(\mathcal N\) in the category of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Such a representation \(V=(V_0,(V_q)_{q\in\mathcal N})\) is said to be \textit{orthoscalar} if there is a weight \(\chi=(\chi_0,(\chi_q)_{q\in\mathcal N})\) such that \(\sum_{q\in\mathcal N}\chi_qP_q=\chi_0P_0\) where each \(P_q\) is orthogonal projection onto the corresponding \(V_q\). The other way around, one can ask which complex representations of a poset admit a positive definite Hermitian form such that the representation is orthoscalar with respect to this form. Such a representation is said to be \textit{unitarizable}. The standard translations between representations of posets and bound quivers are used in the paper and in this review. For example, the notions of Schur root and stable representations are applied to posets. The key tool seems to be the translation of a criterion for an indecomposable poset representation to be unitarizable (which is attributed to various other authors) into the language of stability. Their first main theorem (Theorem 11) gives some results on unitarizability of representations of the \textit{unbound} quiver associated to a poset; in particular, for every Schur root of such a quiver, a general representation of that dimension vector is unitarizable. Proceeding to representations of \textit{bound} quivers associated to posets, these are approached by first restricting to a subposet whose corresponding quiver has no relations, then adding back in one element at a time of the original poset. This gives an inductive technique for constructing unitarizable representations of posets and the associated weight (Theorem 24 and Corollary 25). In Section 4, they apply their results to build families of unitarizable Schurian representations of posets. Furthermore, they prove that in the case of star-shaped quiver, a rigid representation whose maps are all injective is unitarizable, and that a certain collection of Hermitian matrices associated to the representation is rigid in the sense of N. Katz (Theorem 27). This is built upon to give a criterion for unitarizability of rigid representations of arbitrary posets in terms of an inequality on the dimension vector (Corollary 28). They also give an ``if and only if characterization of Dynkin and extended Dynkin quivers in terms of unitarizability of their representations in this section (Theorem 29). In the final section, they show that for wild posets, even restricting to unitarizable representations with a fixed weight, one can find families of non-isomorphic Schur representations depending on arbitrarily many parameters (Theorem 30).
