Abstract

A monoid structure on families of representations of a quiver is introduced by taking extensions of representations in families, that is, subvarieties of the varieties of representations. The study of this monoid leads to interesting interactions between representation theory, algebraic geometry and quantum group theory. For example, it produces a wealth of interesting examples of families of quiver representations, which can be analysed by representation-theoretic and geometric methods. Conversely, results from representation theory, in particular A. Schofield's work on general properties of quiver representations, allow us to relate the monoid to certain degenerate forms of quantized enveloping algebras.
