【 摘 要 】

Let k be an algebraically closed field and Q be an acyclic quiver with n vertices. Consider the category rep(Q) of finite dimensional representations of Q over k. The exceptional representations of Q, that is, the indecomposable objects of rep(Q) without self-extensions, correspond to the so-called real Schur roots of the usual root system attached to Q. These roots are special elements of the Grothendieck group Z(n) of rep(Q). When we identify the dimension vectors of the representations (that is, the non-negative vectors of Z(n)) up to positive multiple, we see that the real Schur roots can accumulate in some directions of R-n superset of Z(n) This paper is devoted to the study of these accumulation points. After giving new properties of the canonical decomposition of dimension vectors, we show how to use this decomposition to describe the rational accumulation points. Finally, we study the irrational accumulation points and we give a complete description of them in case Q is of weakly hyperbolic type. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
